John,
Historically, Elecraft has always offered options - on the premise that
"if you don't need/want it, you don't have to buy it".
As a result, the KPA3, KAT3, Bandpass filters for general coverage, 2nd
receiver, DVR, extra roofing filters are optional.
For instance, those who want a transceiver only to drive VHF/UHF
transceivers do not want to buy the 100 watt PA, nor the KAT3. Those
who operate only QRP levels can pay for a K3S without the KPA3.
Certainly, it makes customizing your order a bit more involved, but you
end up with a transceiver that is tailored to your needs and operating
preferences.

I am a little late to the Elecraft party, why does this transceiver use a
separate 100 watt module instead of just having a 100 to 200 watt
transmitter like other manufactures?
