Guess I have to get an electrician to come out and give me another quote on a dedicated 240 VAC line to the shack. And all new baluns. And I have to check if the remote antenna switch relays are rated for more than 600 watts; if not, then replace that. Several hundreds of feet of coax to

I REALLY, REALLY hope that it does NOT contain an internal power supply, but I fear that it will. It doesn't matter... not a deal killer. Just take my money I'm so glad I delayed a little building my own (though I'll still be building my own). 73, __ Clay Autery, KY5G

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Something is brewing in the Elecraft skunk works and they're getting it ready for Dayton. That is keeping Wayne and Eric too busy to play moderator. So let's all go crazy and guess: K4? KPA 1500? Buck, k4ia Honor Roll 8BDXCC EasyWayHamBooks.com On

So now the standard questions are: Matching KAT1500 (internal) tuner? With the same 10:1 range as the KAT500? Price(s)? Availability? Very cleverly done Wayne, kudos. No I don't have to be concerned with mixing/matching amps to the K line. Nice! Rick nhc On 4/20/2017 10:22 AM,

And note the different TX button than on the 500! At the top of the photo note that the last 5 parts of numbers visible are all 4 digit labels so my guess is that here comes the 1500 watt amp for viewing. Note the feet are not bail type. Either a working prototype or a new release. 73,

I could see that, it depends on the font (none of the exiting K line displays a 9) it lets the other numbers that are ALMOST shown (clever) make more sense. If that is the case, it's showing full legal (US) limit output with room to spare. Woohoo! An Elecraft legal limit amp! The
