"what is wrong with customers requesting a new product such as a 200w PA that can be matched up to their existing K3?" 1- It will make the radio to weight more,it won't be light anymore. 2-it will make the radio more expensive,a 200W PA will cost at least $300 to $400 more 3-We will need them at least 35 to 40A power supply to feed it,they cost around $300.Right now we can move the K3 with a small light 20A switching PS anywhere.When we needed that big PS the package will become bigger and heavier. 4-Wy to spend that much when simply we can use our actual amps or get afordable ones for $300 or less? It don't make sense to me at all. AD4C "For a refined ham it is compulsory to own a k3"

Mobile use of an amp needs to strike a balance between watts and amps in each different setup. I think most agree the Elecraft amps (plenty of customers waiting) will be good. If Kenwood have a good sales volume on their 200w mobile, why not have a manufacturer release some competition? In my case, mobile with 200w creates NO power supply issues (TS-480HX) and I would much rather have a purpose built Elecraft PA that would produce 200W. So why not? Not all K3 users want, or are legally able to use, more than 400W, so, what is wrong with customers requesting a new product such as a 200w PA that can be matched up to their existing K3?
