Good grief. The man said, "here in Germany."

One point to note is that your SPE1.3K and the SPE1.5K amplifier I owned for a
very brief period are illegal 1300W/10W = 130 = 21dB gain.
FCC 97.317 reads:
(2) Not be capable of amplifying the input RF power (driving signal) by more
than 15 dB gain. Gain is defined as the ratio of the input RF power to the
output RF power of the amplifier where both power measurements are expressed
in peak envelope power or mean power.
OK, so you like the extra gain for the amp, but importing and/or selling an
illegal amp is illegal. That tells you a lot about the US rep.

I'm like Igor, the SPE 1.3K fulfills my needs and it's one package
including P/S and ATU that I as a 78-year-old can easily lift. My K3 at 10
Watts out drives it to full output!! That's gain!! I have a K3, P3 with
SVGA and the integration with the K3 is a simple cable and coax. SPE even
includes the connector for making your own cable or the cable can be bought
for about $35.00 here.
Unfortunately, the KPA1500 is handicapped here in Germany by horrendous
freight charges and 19%!! Value Added Tax on top if one is imported. That
tax by the way, is on virtually everything sold in Germany, not just USA
products.
