Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 additional info

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Unfortunately, a power limit is much like a speed limit on the highway; I'm
good unless I get caught. 

Ever since I've been a Ham there are others like that. In the west in the
1950s we called them "California Kilowatts" who would brag about putting out
5 or 10 kW or more on the Ham bands.

Once in a while the FCC would catch up with one. It was always good
entertainment to read about it.

For the rest of us, we learned that complaining "Why are you picking on me?
Other kids did the same thing!" was not an excuse when we were small
children. But not everyone learned the lesson.

That is also why we are licensed as we have proven we know the rules... 
different from following them.

Bill,

While it may be possible, I do not believe the amplifier itself will 
impose power limits on 30 and 60 meters.  Other countries do not have 
the same limits that we have in the US.
It is ultimately up to the operator to not exceed the power limits for 
those bands.
