Yes, from 2006. Two versions of the amp were on display at Dayton, the KPA800 and KPA1500. Both were working prototypes and both were putting out power, the KPA1500 at 1800+ watts continuously into a dummy load, if I recall properly. Both were things of beauty and planted the Elecraft seed in

I am very fortunate to have been to the SWODXA DX dinner one year and saw a 1kw or more Elecraft prototype. I am sure there are photos out there somewhere but it was a nice looking amp. It created lots of buzz that evening. Then it was scuttled off to parts unknown to never be seen by the masses.

As far as I'm concerned, putting a KX2 or 3 (or any Elecraft transceiver for that matter) out on 1500W is insulting to Elecraft and the user. While I am typically a "brute-force" type of guy, it just seems like such a waste of such an elegant product. Now if I had to communicate with somebody

Greetings all, I heard a rumor this afternoon that Elecraft is going to be marketing a 1500 watt amp at approx $6000.00 very soon. The rumor mill continues with the story that Elecraft is going to buy the amp. From a "unknown" European company and stick Elecraft's name on the product.
