Doesn't have to be legal limit. Seems everyone is expressing something in the less than 1000 watt category. What ever Elecraft comes out with in this venue is going to be acceptable price wise because of their superior marketing skill. The KPA-800 with all the bells and whistles was priced at around 3500 if memory serves me correctly. I'd pay that for a full featured 800 watt out amp.
I think the modular approach is a better idea. Get the basic amp and add full control & a tuner, etc, as you can afford it.

So I'm going to ask it outright ... what price would be your upper limit for a legal limit amplifier from Elecraft? Please specify whether you are including autotune or not. 73, Dave AB7E ------Original Mail------ From: "lawrence libsch" <llib...@bellsouth.net> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 07:48:50 -0800 PST Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft Amps Group - For those who believe Elecraft can't compete in the amp market, I ask you to consider the market into which Elecraft introduced the K3. Now almost 4000 of us have sold or retired other high quality transceivers for the K3. It's excellent that many K3 owners already have quality amps that function well for them. Many of us, however would like to purchase an amp from Elecraft with true K3 compatibility and the kind of quality and service advantages that Elecraft has brought to the K3.
