My experiences are similar to those by Igor.
I use K3 with SPE 2k. Very convenient with 6 antenna connectors with 3
antennas per band. Turns on and off with K3 and follows bands. Antenna
switch and ATU are active with teh amp off. But 2k is heavy and the PS
generates some spurs.
I used KX3 with

be a blending of the two systems… ;-)

I have used SPE 1K with my K3 for almost 8 years. I am now using SPE
1.3 with both K3 and KX3 connected for SO2R. No issues with integration
at all (just coax and 3 wire control cable), cheaper then Elecraft,
weight is under 10 Kg even with antenna tuner built in, SO2R with just 1

Mine too. Normally, there are three amps on my desk -- two 87As for high
power, SO2R contesting, and a KPA500 for 6M and instant on). For about
two weeks, I've been running a borrowed

I haven't seen any yet. I did have a conversation last year with 4O3A,
designer of the Power Genius. From what Ranko said, the Flex amp seemed
to have more headroom than the KPA1500, which

Rick,
I have a KPA-1500 and a KPA-500. To be honest, with my decent antenna system,
500 watts is plenty, most of the time. I purchased the KPA-1500 as I plan to
get serious chasing DX

I have yet to see a pre-owned KPA1500 for sale but I do
After much investigation and consideration I elected to purchase the
KPA-500/F. Since I have the K3S and now the KAT-500, I've "trained"
the KAT-500 for the antennas and frequencies on each band. With the VFO
tracking, I dial the frequency and everything follows.
Specifically the KPA-500
I have yet to see a pre-owned KPA1500 for sale but I do see a lot of used
KPA500's and KAT500's. I saw this one earlier today:

I ran my 1;2 KW amp at 500 watts for close to a year before springing
for the KPA500 just to see if it made any difference. It probably would
have were I an avid DX'er or contester. At my casual level, I really
noticed no difference. With a K3 I think the algorithm is:

If you already have a K3 I would stay with Elecraft and get either KPA
