Other issues, too. For example, not all of us have
240 VAC available in our shacks -- at least I
don't. And I suspect such an amp would want the
higher line voltage.

As others have mentioned, there were two amps built and put on display a number
of years
ago. One was legal limit and I think the other was about half that (I remember
more than the
current 500 Watt KPA500 though).
I probably would never spend the money for a full legal limit solid-state amp
but I might pay
for a kit amp. By "kit" I mean more of a kit than typical of Elecraft's
bolt-together kits. I mean
a real soldering kit with some SMTs already placed. Especially useful would be
the PA boards and
heat sinks already put together. But, other parts could certainly be lower
level kit pieces. Also,
the voltage levels are not too dangerously high (? 75 volts, 40 amps maybe).
Maybe the power
supply can be a separately priced kit.
Not even sure how much I would pay -- I wouldn't want ham radio to cut into my
book buying budget
for the year. Also, ham radio competes with my other hobby of wood working.
Those Shapton glass
bottom sharpening stones are getting pricey.

As a 6 month Elecrafter (k3+p3) I have never seen any discussion nor requests for a legal
limit compatible Elecraft amplifier with the seamless attributes of the kpa500 . It would
seem that the now extablished 1000 w devices could form the basis for a commercially
viable amplifier. Perhaps no one else is interested, but I wanted to ask if such a
product is even on the "consideration" list?
