I don't have much of an idea of what Elecraft's thinking is on high power
other than the available history. From postings here it would seem there is
some variance in what users might want or accept in an amplifier.
It is hard for me to discern what proportion of the community those who post
may represent. Nor can I guess the desires of those who choose not to post.
Surely there are many who want and can afford 'it all.' And no doubt many
who would be quite pleased with less. Maybe Elecraft knows its base well
enough that the following need not be considered.
Perhaps Elecraft could survey their customer base by emailing them with a
link to a web-based check-off (secure?) form.
To get my serious attention an amplifier must have...
____ Watts Output
____ Internal Tuner
____ Auto-Band switching
____ Feature...
____ Feature...
____ Capability...
____ Capability...
____ Specification...
____ Specification...
I would consider the following if offered as modular/other
options...
____ Internal Tuner
____ Desktop External Tuner
____ Remote Automatic Tuner
____ Antenna Outputs
____ Computer Interface
____ etc...
So on and so forth...
____ ...
____ ...
The following are not important to me in an amplifier
____ ...
____ ...
?Pricing Information?
____ Mid-power base model @ $????
____ Full-power base model @ $????
____ Everything @ $????
____ A kit should save me $___ over an assembled unit
A similar form might apply to other development projects or general planning
for Elecraft.
Just as well, Elecraft may know the market and their own capability. It
could also be that development of an amp or amps could be at a point beyond
the need for such information.
Myself, I could be interested in a basic mid-power SS amp and definitely
with auto-band switching (option?). Small package(s), matching
enclosures(s) are appealing. Add-ons could be a consideration...W2-like
option added into basic amp, added automatic tuner...for examples.

PS I hope this posting doesn't look like a mess as you receive it.
