Yes! The "big" switch, thereby demonstrating flexibility in matters of
output power. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds" as
Emerson would say. (I assume at least an upright knife-switch, bolted to
the floor and connected to bank of van de graaff generators...)
Have a good day.

Our philosophy at Elecraft is to cover both ends of the spectrum.
Figuratively speaking.
When the bands are open, the birds are singing, and the sun is
shining, you’ll find us outdoors using a hand-held KX2 at 10 watts
with a whip. But late at night, when propagation is in the tank and
that rare DX station peeks over the horizon for a once-in-a-lifetime
fleeting moment, seconds count and size really does matter. At these
times, we flip the big switch.

Apparently none of you here ragchews on 80M CW roundtables at
sunrise times during spring/summer thunderstorms seasons across the
country! That's the reason QRO was born...
