Hi Fred,
I fully appreciate the quality of Elecraft products. However, they still
need to have a marketable amplifier. In other words, to cover their R&D,
they should aim at selling the amplifier not only to the K2 users.
My barefoot K2 can drive both my ICPW-1 and Quadra System to 350-400 watts.
Therefore, the forthcoming KPA800 / 1500 should have similar amplification
gain. If the proposed KPA800 / 1500 can only work with K2/100 and with
less gain, I regret to say that the marketability of the amplifiers will be
adversely affected.
ICPW-1 and Quadra System are selling about US$4000 in VR2. I would expect
KPA800 /1500 selling at similar price. For the price range, if the KPA800
/ 1600 only can work with K2/100 and less amplification gain, it is really
not a market taker.

Subject: [Elecraft] New Elecraft Amp(s) - with bare K2?
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 14:40:52 -0800 (PST)
Will the soon-to-be-sold new Amplifier(s) coming out
by Elecraft - be able to be fully driven by a bare
bones basic K2? As always a fan of separate units;
xcvr, amp, tuner, swr/power metering. I'm trying to
end up with a CW/SSB decent wattage K2. I can't get
myself to go the top-cover amplifier KPA100 route.
IMHO - not the way to go for me. I guess what I'm
driving at (!) - is what is the min. drive power
required of these new amplifiers?
Fred, N3CSY
