Agree 100%, Rich. I'm 99% CW, and most amplifiers fall short for CW operation. After looking long and hard for a 100W companion for my KX3, the KPXA100 is best thing since sliced bread! If CW is your mode and QSK (or even semi break-in) is desirable, there is no other choice. If you want seamless i

As someone who waited months after ordering when it was first announced, I can say the wait was worth it. The integration with the KX3 and features are well worth the wait. -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraf

Fear not, the KXPA100 will again be offered as will the KX3 and KX2. If you get a response that it is not available, that means that the in-stock supply has been exhausted. But we will have to wait until after the lockdown in California is lifted. It affects not only Elecraft, but also the su

Jim: I use a RM Italy HLA305 with my KX2. I have been very happy with this amp which will put out up to 250 watts. It is a bit sensitive to higher anything over 3:1 SWR and it requires a power supply of 40 amps but has been great for my QTH. I am sure the Elecraft amps would work more seamlessl

Jim, I have the Hardrock 50 and while it's NOT 100W it does exceed 50W on each band by a decent margin. It's a solder kit (no fan) and a relatively easy build. The build instructions aren't great and up to Elecraft standards but good enough to get the job done especially if you've done a few

The HR-50 has been an awesome performer here. It has the advantage of having a carrier-operated relay if you choose to enable it to work with QRP rigs without a PTT output. For KX2/KX3, 100% QSK: http://ae5x.blogspot.com/2018/12/thoughts-on-hardrock-50.html 73, John AE5X
