I've seen the KPA-500 at Visalia and have been following it closely (I
still want #22) and have just been on a DXpedition (ZK2A and VK9NN) with
a couple of the THP amps- That just reinforced my desire for the KPA-500.
And if I'd had my Elecraft gear, I'd have been on as DU1/N6TQS and
Hello Igor,
Really have no idea about KAT500. Same as you, I would like KPA500+KAT500 in
one box. This arrangement will give better transportation convenience.
cheers,

Hi All,
Has anyone noticed Tokyo High Price have announced what seems to be a
direct competitor to the KPA-500?
Reading the blurb it seems like they are jumping on the bandwagon for
portable amplifiers BUT the price is just a bit worrisome?
Aaaah competition seems alive and well..:-)

The THP '550 is $2950 USD and is available now. How much is the KPA-500 and

The KPA500 will be far less expensive than the new THP amp.
We'll have more to say on this soon, now that the KPA500 field test is
in full swing.

Way less than that for both the kit and build versions. We haven't set
the final price yet, but the kit version should come in about $1995.
We're in field test right now.
Stay tuned!

I remain interested in knowing if the KPA-500 will handle QSK with the K3 in
CW+ mode at 65 wpm, and if it uses PIN diode switching for QSK.

The KPA500 will do full QSK at over 80 WPM with the K3 in QRQ mode.
Yes, it uses PIN-diode T/R switching.

I'm more interested in how the KPA 500 handles a full blown 48hr CW contest
with full QSK.
What connections are on
the rear panel, etc.
I just hope someone from the contesting brotherhood has it and given it a
really good workout!!

To All,
Well I am a bit surprised at some comments. I guess my thoughts on the
'closeness' of the THP caused some angst with some.
The kit version of the KPA-500 is my choice.
My 'shack' (read desk) is a THP Free Zone...:-)

I think Elecraft under-sells the system notion of their products.
Certainly, the K3, P3, KPA500, and KAT500 will work fine as
stand-alone products, but where I suspect they all will really shine
is as a modular, but tightly integrated, system.
The K3 product line looks like it will soon allow for
This will be an unbeatable combination. Nothing else on the market will
do so much for such a reasonable price with an option to do some of the

Agreed, I'm a relatively new HAM and really like the integrated approach to the
modular components of the Elecraft system. Currently have a moderately

Hello Jack et al
Thanks for your input.
Just would like to compare it with my SPE amp.
I can hook it up with 2 Radios (SO2R) situation, the SPE has a dedicated
connector for so2r,
The down side for me with the the SPE is the relays, they are extremely noisy,
clack clack in QSK.
