Just curious why the FCC has a 15 dB limit on power gain on all
amplifiers. Is it related to the CB issue or is that sufficiently
addressed in the 0dB gain for 26-28 mhz?
I've been QRP for the last 20 years (except mobile), and anticipating a
KXP100 for mobile use.

I asked specifically at Visalia. There is currently no special
support for the K3/10, but it will work as a generic QRP transceiver.
I think you mean that it will work WITH any generic QRP rig. :)
From what I see in Eric's email, it's the same concept as the KPA500
-- although it's specifically integrated with the K3, it works with
any rig that can give it a keying signal and the right RF drive level.
It does not need band data, it DETECTS what you're sending it and
switches to the right band. All you need is the KEY line to put it in
TX mode (that's an FCC requirement) and give it 4W drive to get 100W
out. That's 14dB power gain, which, I believe, is also the FCC limit.
