At Orlando the introductory price for the Genius was $6999.00 and they were taking orders for. I think, June delivery. They just received the FCC type acceptance a few days before. I would assume that the SPE amps all integrate with the K3 in a similar fashion. When I used the SPE 2K in CQWW CW it was like having a 1.5K K3..just hummed along all weekend.

I'm not sure what ever happened to the Acom 1200S. Many people use the SPE 1.3KW on expeditions, I wonder how easy it is to hook it up to the K3S. The KPA-500 works nicely with the K3S but giving up 4.5dBs is considerable, a KPA-1000 would be hard to resist. John KK9A From: Gary K9GS Thu Mar 16 19:19:38 EDT 2017 I think that the ship has sailed with respect to Elecraft bringing a legal limit SS amp to market. There are a growing number of lightweight legal limit amps already on the market. The FlexRadio Power Genius looks especially promising: http://www.flexradio.com/amateur-products/powergenius-xl/ It only weighs 33 pounds. I saw it in operation at the Orlando HamCation and it looked very impressive operating all weekend into a dummy load at a conservative 1.5 kw output. SPE also just announced a 1.5 kw amp..something I'm surprised they did given that they already have a 1 kw, 1.3 kw, and a 2kw amp on the market. I know of several people that have the 1 kw amp and use it with their K3 radios and they love them. I've used the big SPE amp in CQWW CW and it worked flawlessly all weekend without a hiccup. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to garyk...@wi.rr.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
