I agree with Jim here. I am thinking of getting a KPA1500 to replace my Expert 1.3K. (I got the 1.3K after my wife won a $1000 off prize at the Top Band Dinner. I thought the 1.3K would have good resale value given its use on DXpeditions.)

The logical place for the amp is in my garage, near the antennas feed points and near an electrical subpanel with 60A 240V service. Installing the 240 outlet in the garage is probably a DIY project.

I do want the tight integration of the amp with the K3, so an AUX bus connection is required.

It DOES seem reasonable to publish at least an electrical transmission spec for it -- i.e., voltages, source and load impedances, whether it is intended to be terminated (impedance matched) or un-terminated, distance limits for various cable parameters. In fact, it seems unreasonable to NOT put it in the manual ...
