Eric, WA6HHQ, gave a presentation titled "High Performance Ham Radio: Inside KPA500 & Elecraft K-Line" at various hamfests in 2011, including Huntsville where I attended. He explained that before Elecraft settled on the KPA500 they built three different sized prototype amplifiers for proof of concept and to establish the cost for each. He explained that when that effort was complete the KPA500 was thought to be the best fit for the market at that time. When a member of the audience asked what happened to the legal limit amplifier, Eric replied that it was in his shack. Eric can correct me if I have failed to remember his presentation accurately.
