RE: [Elecraft] KPA1500, KPA800 rollout delay
Here's what I got from Elecraft last May. This may change, as this was some time back. The KPA 800 is a single box amplifier with an internal custom designed 60V switching power supply. It weighs approximately 36 lbs. Dimensions are 16.5w x 15.5d x 7h. The KPA1500 uses two enclosures. The main desktop RF deck is the same size as the KPA800. The power supply enclosure is approximately 4 high and is the same depth and width as the main unit. It can sit under the main enclosure or under your operating table. The KPA1500 easily makes 1500W+ on 160M - 10M. We also plan for it to cover 6M with lower power. (Approximately 400W). The main RF box weighs about 40 lbs and the power supply box about 15 lbs. Here is a short list of additional features: �Full Break-In Silent Diode T/R �Microprocessor Controlled �Auto Band Switching (RF Sensing) �Built In Auto-Tuner. Matches 3:1 at 1500W �SO2R ready. Two Rig Inputs / Two Antenna Outputs (2nd rig routes to alternate antenna) �RS-232 Port for remote control and firmware downloadable updates. �Key-In / Key-Out sequencing for older rigs �Custom Designed witching Power Supply (RF Quiet) The assembled version of the KPA1500 should sell for about $5,900; The KPA800 about $3,900. The kit versions for these should be around $300-500 less. (These are not final prices and may vary several hundred dollars.) We will pre-assemble the power supplies and the internal RF cards on the kits.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500, KPA800 rollout delay
Hi Lou, That's probably for the best. I have to say if the YL knew I was even entertaining the idea of the KPA1500 before Christmas. I don't think I would be able to afford the the divorce attorney and child support. I'd never get the amp then. Especially after buying the K2 options I just bought a few weeks ago. I would say waiting till after tax refund season is here is not a bad idea at all. HA HA!
