That is correct. While typically in the 25-35 W range, It can require up to the low 40 W range in some cases.

And 25w isn't sufficient to drive the KPA to full power on all bands.

John,

Historically, Elecraft has always offered options - on the premise that
"if you don't need/want it, you don't have to buy it".
As a result, the KPA3, KAT3, Bandpass filters for general coverage, 2nd
receiver, DVR, extra roofing filters are optional.

For instance, those who want a transceiver only to drive VHF/UHF
transceivers do not want to buy the 100 watt PA, nor the KAT3.  Those who
operate only QRP levels can pay for a K3S without the KPA3.

Certainly, it makes customizing your order a bit more involved, but you
end up with a transceiver that is tailored to your needs and operating
preferences.

I am a little late to the Elecraft party, why does this transceiver use a
separate 100 watt module instead of just having a 100 to 200 watt
transmitter like other manufactures?
