I've seen the KPA-500 at Visalia and have been following it closely (I still want #22) and have just been on a DXpedition (ZK2A and VK9NN) with a couple of the THP amps- That just reinforced my desire for the KPA-500. And if I'd had my Elecraft gear, I'd have been on as DU1/N6TQS and DU1/N6TQS/DU8.
