I agree about the market for a bullet-proof solid state legal limit
amplifier that will work seamlessly with the radio... like the ICOM PW-1
does now with the Pro-series. My Pro3 and PW-1 are so well matched it's like
having a KW transceiver. I suspect Elecraft could do something like that
with a legal limit amp partner for the K3.... in fact, I would predict they
will. It's the logical thing to do... when the time is right.

Well, now that I have got your attention with the subject line.....
The recent threads on amplifiers has been interesting since I am looking at
adding an additional one to my station.
I know the Elecraft people are very busy with the K3 roll out now, but with
the advent of power transistors capable of delivering adequate power, I
would like to suggest that Elecraft look at developing their amplifier
again. Whoa now....hold the phone.
I know they are busy....and I am willing to wait....but it seems that the
day of the transistor power amp is here and the players right now are IC, Y,
Ameritron, and THP. I am not sure I want to shell out 5500 to 6500 bucks
for one of these amps that can run SO2R....but.....
Could there be a middle ground where a KW SS amp can come in at an
affordable price...say below 1500 to 2000 bucks? Little do I know about
cost accounting. Just asking questions...and making conversation.
It seems the market is growing for this type of amp.

can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common
Sense. Is Common Sense divine?
