To ALL,
Agreed, we should have "clean" signals as there is a plethora of "lids" who
are only interested in getting the absolute amount of power out of ANY
amplifier, be they simple, or super fancy. Too many GOOD amps are
overdriven and cause a lot of trouble on the band they are used on, let
alone the harmonic by products. Technically the regulations in a round
about way say an SSB signal should be limited to a 3 Khz bandwidth MAX!
There are way too many "hi fi" broadcast lids and such that seem to delight
in putting their garbage into the next 3 khz channel up or down from the QSO
they are in! Politeness seems to have vanished from amateur radio at times!
NOTHING that the FCC writes into regulations, or forces the manufacturers to
include in their products will eliminate the common mule headed "LID"
operator.
In my humble opinion, the ONLY way to properly tune a SSB linear amplifier
up correctly, is by the "two tone method". You will get the MOST talk power
and cleanest signal this way with no guessing.

I think we ALL have an obligation to ensure our TX output is clean. We ALL
share in the harmful results if we don't in the form of QRM that we complain
about every day. These cheap amps have little or no output filtering and
most do not have any real semblance of ALC making it very easy to overdrive
them. The performance of all the Elecraft gear in this regard (and it's
equivalent in receive) is stunningly good and in my opinion worth every damn
cent.
Best regards to the team at Elecraft for their efforts in making truly great
quality gear !.
It seems perfectly logical that a KX3 and 100W map should be around the same
price as a K3-100.

What I thought was interesting was that for most of the models there were
only one to three in stock. That makes me think they are selling like
hot-cakes to the CB market, or they are trying to get rid of them.

QRP is looking better, I looked at the out the door price of the Elecraft
100W amp with tuner. Ouch! around $1300.00 bucks with tax and shipping I
was imagining around $600.00 I'm way out of step. Yikes! a hundred watt KX3
is close to the price of a 100 watt K3.
