I would like to see a 160-6 meter, continuous duty 1500 watt
amplifier capable of QSK that was instant on.
Greg,
The new SPE 2K-FA should meet your wish-list criteria:
http://www.radio-ham.eu/download/Leaflet%20Expert%202K-FA%20inglese.pdf
I believe it's still awaiting FCC certification.
I don't understand what you mean by export model. We can and could buy an
amp that will produce power way over the limit. We just can't transmit over
the limit. A Henry 2K will output 1500W and a 3K much more.
A 2500W amp driven at 60W to produce legal power is cleaner then an exciter
and amp
The only rule I know of is that the amp won't have ten meters, and you will
need to produce a ham license to get a ten meter kit.
On October 4, 2006 the FCC issued a Report and Order that did away with
that rule.
Now, according to FCC Rules Section 97.317, external amplifiers must not
a soldering iron...

Frankly, It seems to me that good QRO amps are a glut on the market. (see
THP, etc.)
To be competitive in that market, any Elecraft offering would have to be
highly innovative and I just don't see much more that can be done.
Gotta disagree with this comment. There is no Elecraft-quality

Hi All,
I'm voting/hoping for the 'KPA500' referenced once by Elecraft
(accidentally?) on this reflector last fall.
If such a hypothetical amp were to feature a built in A/T, watt
meter/swr bridge and built in p/s it would be the ideal complement for
my K3 and many more I suspect.
And it

What happened to the Elecraft Amps? Did they get beyond 'proto: gee I want
one' stage?

:) I think I will continue to turn bandswitch, roller inductor and air-cap
knobs, and use the other $9000 for other stuff.

As far as I know, no one makes a full 1500 watt output, continuous-duty, no
time limit, brick on the key amplifier that covers 160-6 meters with full
QSK and instant on. It would be nice to have a built in precision
wattmeter, too.

To be inovative, they could make it a full kit, or some assembly
required like the K3. I think a full kit would be a little daunting for most
of us, so the 2nd option would be better. It/they have a lot of wiz-bang
automatic control and proably a lot of surface mount circuitry.

Alpha 8410 - $5K, but you have to tune it, and your grandchildren will,
because it will outlast you.
Alpha 9500 - $8K, and you will still be dead while it still works, but the
grandchildren don't have to tune it at all. Pretty boring for them. :)
The fact is, for people that have the money, it

If the goal was a 100% duty cycle 1500W amp for $5000, then the answer why it

they like losing money.

Greg,
You have some serious expectations for a full power amplifier?
My Henry is instant on, but it doesn't do 6 meters. You also have to tune
it.
That pig was made in the 60's, and still puts out full legal power. Go
figure?
