Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 update?
I seem to remember that Elecraft said it was currently in field tests. I also think a possible February, 2011 date was mentioned as a sales target. I'm sure that is subject to revision, depending upon the outcome of the field tests as well as the usual hassle in setting up the new production line. But I believe it is definitely going to happen and not in the very distant future but not, unfortunately, in time for this Christmas.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 update?
Having seen some other possibilities, I'm not going to go for them. I got some bandwidth downtown and read the ARRL review of the SPE, and it's not an amp for a RTTY op, which I am. I'd cheerfully pay for a burger (I mean KPA500) now, for delivery later, as I did with the K3, especially if I could get #22 to match my K3. BTW, we visited VK9NL and got the station sorted, so she'll be on the air again for the first time since VK9NS's death. 73, doug, from VK9NN On 12-Dec-10 15:13, don Swetzig wrote: If a KPA500 is going to happen I would like to know before I buy something else On Dec 12, 2010 10:02 AM, John Fritzelt;fritzej...@gmail.comgt; wrote: Well, with Santa's trip just around the corner, how are the elves coming with the KPA500?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 update?
I saw a KPA500 at a local club meeting recently where Eric WA6HHQ was proudly showing it off. They do indeed seem to be treating it as a serious product on the way. The slides has the obligatory not yet type accepted warning of course.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 update?
Ah, who needs that stuff? I just had my first QSO on my new homebrew amplifier: 900 watts out from a pair of class-C 813's! Instant on and full QSK. Of course it has separate grid and plate bandswitches and three tuning controls to adjust, one of which is a multiturn vacuum capacitor, but it's imposing as all get out with four analog meters (2 of which are super-cool Western Electric center-adjust types).
