100W Amp for the KX3?

Ronald Lodewyck
I am planning to operate mobile from all 50 states in the near future.  
The KX3 is exactly what I have been looking for EXCEPT for the 10 watt
limitation.  The Elecraft KPA100 amp option for the KX3 would work great
EXCEPT that it apparently won't be available until after my road trips
have concluded.  So I went looking for an alternative amp to boost the
KX3 to around 100 Watts or so.  The following reply to my query from
Tokyo Hy-Power looks very promising and I thought others might also want
to check it out:
-----------------------------------
The HL-100bdx... available only direct from Japan is a better
choice...... Designed for QRP rigs.... 10W IN = 100W out >>
http://www.thp.co.jp/english/hl_100bdx_e.html
The delivered price is in the $650 range...
If you're interested  I can have Japan quote you an exact  price to your
door......

endorsement of this product.

Pretty, but I don't see any technical specifications, like IMD,
harmonics, and other spurs.

Just an FYI:  I have the HL-45B Tokyo Hi-Power amp that I use with my
FT-817.  It puts out a solid 50 watts and works surprisingly well
mobile. It looks identical to the HL-100Bdx so I would assume it's the
same product family.  I think it's a quality product.  (I am, however,
saving for the KPA100.  I wouldn't want my Elecraft collection to be
incomplete    :-)   ).

The guys producing these juma boxes are usually pretty good - perhaps an
email to OH2NLT or OH7SV
would clarify this. I a bit surprised that it wasn't listed in the specs.
