Dan is a great guy, but all that’s really needed for the K3 is a simple
cable, very easy to construct yourself.....SPE even provides the
connectors....

Just as an FYI,
Expert Linears Dan Tassell KC5PCB makes up a custom plug-and-play cable for
the K3/SPE, so interfacing is really not a problem.

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.

thoughts I still have not seen the Genius pricing. 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.

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.
