Hi I have no information on this but I think there is a specification from the FCC that any external HF band amplifier must require at least 50 watts of drive for full output. This is to keep the CB'ers from using the amps with the 4 watt CB rigs. There was even a lot of discussion about the KPA100 but it was approved because it can only driven with a K2 because of the tightly integrated control structure. It is really considered a part of the K2 not an external amp. I would expect the power amps to require the KPA100 although Elecraft has a way of surprising us in good ways when new products come out. There always seems to be more performance than you expect when final product is announced.
