I had a SPE 1.5K for a couple of weeks. It
struggles to make 1.5KW on all bands and on some
doesn't make it. At 1.5KW there is around 2dB
compression. It's great up to 1KW.
I've had the KPA1500 for about a month now. It
makes 1.5KW with between a .5 and 1dB on all
bands. It's more money than the SPE, but worth
it. And of course excellent support from
Elecraft. Integrates well with my TS-990.

I've used a KPA-500 enough to appreciate the
integration with my K3S. I am using an SPE 1K-FA
right now, and it's nice, but required me to
construct a custom cable to use it in the most
integrated manner. The 1.3, 1.5, ans 2K-FA
require the same thing OR one of the new serial
boxes mentioned in the last couple of days. The
KPA-1500 offers both the integration of the
KPA-500 and more power than the
1.3K-FA.... Better to look at the price comp
between the 1.5K-FA and the KPA-1500. I like the
separate power supply on yhe KPA-1500. BOTTOM

comparisons I'm looking at upgrading my amp. In
consideration are kpa500, spe 1.3k, and kpa1500.
Obviously increasing In cost as we gain more
capabilities. Any feedback from the group? I
was expecting to see more kpa500's for sale but
haven't seen many. Thanks Rick NJ5W
