If you want to put an external amp on a 10W K3, consider a high power amp. You can get a few hundred watts with 10W in from some fairly inexpensive amps. In fact, if oyu've got an amp already, then a 10W K3 is a way to get the very good RX and some significant power at an economy price, while still being able to upgrade later.

Surely the KPA3, with all it's integrated features, an additional Ant. socket and Elecraft reliability and support far outweigh any other option? Plus of course it's all in the same box, with the same supply and not another piece of equipment to install, carry etc. I'm not an Elecraft bigot, but in this case, I'm prepared to be called one.
