That would be a no for me. Money is not the issue. Just do not need more than the KPA500 I now have. Only use it now for skeds when conditions do not support a contact at 100 watts. 73, tom w7sua On 8/1/2016 9:55 AM, Wayne Burdick wrote: This would be extreme overkill, IMHO. I suggest a

Nice work, Ken. On the amps and the cars. I was wondering the same thing about "rolling your own". I suggested that doctor who said he could build pretty much what he wanted could build the enclosure. He owns an electronic lab which builds his stuff and farms the enclosures out to another

I think that crowdfunding a KPA1500 would help to get Elecraft going again on a big amp. Crowdfunding would also give a good indication on how many KPA1500's you could sell in the market as it is today. 73 Arie PA3A __ Elecraft
