When I saw the KPA1500 at Dayton I drooled. I can still picture having the amp remoted in the basement where my present Acom2000A sits on a shelf hanging from the ceiling and tied into my coax and control cable, lightning protection and grounding panel. Then just have a RCU in the shack like the Acom or the software on the screen to control the amp. I would really like a 1.5KW, instant-on, remote control, 160-6M amp.
I have no negative issues with the 2000A. It is a wonderful amp and has given me years of great service. But I would like to also have an amp on 6M. And I still haven't heard another Zone 19 on Topband since the one time I heard one at my sunrise. I called and called at 100W while waiting for the amp to cycle on. By the time the 3 minutes passed the UA0 faded into the noise level. An instant-on amp might have given me success at making the QSO. 73, N2TK, Tony -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of W0FK Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2012 10:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Found this on Facebook this morning...

It was pretty sweet in person, but pics are still out there. See http://www.n6ie.com/Elecraft.html I was talking to Wayne at Dayton this past April, and asked about a higher power amp. I doubt we'll ever see one, but at least he didn't forclose the idea. It would be nice to have a 1500 watt RF deck in a K3-sized case, and a PS in a second case. 73, Lou, W0FK ----- St. Louis, MO K3 #2513, P3 #620, KX3 #0036 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Found-this-on-Facebook-this-morning-KPA 800-tp7566802p7566835.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
