Buying a K3-100...Want a KPA-500!

[N4WVE]

Hello All! I am purchasing a K3-100 with the P3 and am wondering if I should hold off and wait for the KPA-500 amp to come out. Should I wait or go ahead and take the plunge? I have done months of comparisons with the Flex and Yaesu rigs and have decided on the K3.

The KPA500 is a separate box from the K3, so it is easy to add it later
- just plug in the cables.
You can enjoy your K3 and become familiar with it at the 100 watt level
(or use an existing amp if you have one).
I would suggest getting the K3/P3 now.

OK, guys...great points! I thought maybe there was some sort of internal add-on that I would need for the amp, just to clarify things . I will plan to go ahead with the K3, second receiver and 2 meter mod as planned! Hope to have all this done by September.
