Unfortunately (IMHO) the 15 dB maximum gain limitation was retained
in the new rules (do we need a KPA400?)

I thought new FCC rules are going to relax limitations on amplifier

vaguely recall the Elecraft guys saying they might change the drive

requirements of the KPA-800 to allow full output power when drivin
by 15W
after the new rules went into effect.

You won't be able to drive the KPA800/1500 products to their full
output
with a bare K2.
I don't understand the reluctance to add the KPA100 but at the same
time
suggesting a smaller, non-Elecraft amp to drive the new
KPA800/1500. You can
build your KPA100 in a separate case if that's the problem.
Otherwise, you
will be one of thousands of Elecraft customers happily driving a
KPA800/1500
with a K2/100.

Subject: [Elecraft] KPA100 Elimination?
What with Elecraft's eventual HF AMPLIFIER(s)
product, becoming available - I'm wondering if this
will mean new K2 builders will not need to go the
KPA100 in-chassis amplifier route? I've never felt
good about building and layering a KPA100 amplifier
on top of the great little K2 bare bones rig.
With the new Elecraft AMPLIFIER(s) - will us with
bare bones K2's - need to beef up the basic K2
output, to drive the new Elecraft amplifiers? Will
I need a HF PROJECTS 35W amp in-between?
Plannning for 2007 ..............
