The K2 DSP is the only such case, and as noted, Lyle has been with us
exclusively ever since. All other Elecraft products were designed by our
full-time or part-time engineering staff.
We would not source someone else's QRO amp design. We would reserve the fun for
ourselves :)
Those exploratory models from 2006 were designed by our senior RF engineer in his
"spare time." If he gets the itch again someday, we'll let you know.

Apparently you don't know Elecraft's engineering process. Many "Elecraft" products were
"designed by someone else", starting with the DSP in the K2. Here's what Wayne had to
say about that:
"A major milestone in our history was the KDSP2 option for the K2. Lyle Johnson,
KK7P, became known to us *after* he had mostly completed this highly versatile DSP unit.
He reverse-engineered the auxBus protocol and made the KDSP2 behave as if it were a KAF2,
which plugged into the same spot. He showed it to us, and we immediately adopted both the
product and Lyle himself."
Lyle now works for Elecraft from the comfort of his home here in Tucson..(What I call,
"distributed engineering.")
Many other "Elecraft" designs were done similarly, by someone else, PAs
included.
BTW QRO is about being heard. I'm often amused by the digital mode crowd, who profess that one
doesn't need "power" to get through, i.e., "I work the world with 5 W on ESP (your
favorite mode here)." Some of them even make imaginary QSOs on EME.

I was heartened to see Wayne’s response to this rumor. It seems inceivable
that Elecraft would offer such a product, much less one designed by someone
else. Big amps are about being loud, busting pileups, . When receivers were
less sensitive and sophisticated, e.g. digital filters, digital noise
reduction, etc., you needed power to get in the front ends of DX receivers. We
don’t need that power anymore except to contest, i.e. blow out the ops with
less power. To me this don’t seem like the Elecraft ethic. They aren’t QRP
snobs, and they seem to value skill, intelligence, and cunning, rather than
brute power. Whole big amp thing struck me as odd.
