>"Of course, this flexibility comes at a price- The Power Genius is significantly more expensive than the KPA1500"
And for the majority of users, that's an expensive convenience for the feature of a transceiver selection switch that I think is best managed external to the amp. With the growing popularity of remote operation, there's an opportunity for more than just one vendor to produce a line of Ethernet-controlled RF switches in various x(in) to y(out) matrix options. In this case, a 2x1 switch would serve the purpose without burdening the rest of us with a feature we may not want to pay in the KPA1500. N4CC and I share a remote site in north Florida, on the FL/GA state line. Our current HF amplifier has a built-in 4-port antenna switch. While we would like the KPA1500 to have 4, or even 6 output connectors, that convenience is probably best managed with an external RF switch that links to the KPA1500 (and/or K3) for automatic antenna selection on a per-band basis. Although we could likely use DDUtil or other such 3rd-party control programs, hopefully Elecraft will consider a line of external RF switches as an option with the amp.
