Combiner for 2x KPA500?

[Jim AB3CV]

I saw someone joking about such a thing but how difficult would it be to
implement?

I'm tapped out on antennas in my restricted location so if I wanted more
reach, more power would be required. I am working a bit more on optimizing
my receive antennas for low bands.

I'm sure I'd lose some automation unless Elecraft provided some firmware
mods to let two amps track the K3.

I'd use it on resonant antennas so the KAT500 wouldn't really be needed.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone!
Got back from Dayton today.
First time there. What an event!
I just wanted to mention the following:
no other HF radio-selling booth was as busy as the folks at Elecraft! Not by a long shot!
Made me very proud to own one. I saw the jealous looks every time a K3/KX3 was mentioned during Rob Sherwood's presentation (Contest University).
I did order my KPA500/KAT500/W2 kits so my K-Line is pretty much completed (once i receive/assemble them all).
Got a lot of valuable info from Wayne. Met Lisa and Eric. What an amazing bunch...

Anyways, thanks for making these awesome products!!!

Hi Slava,
 
I had the pleasure of sitting directly across from you on Friday night at the SWODXA Dinner. We had a great group at our table with your two friends from Staten Island and the others from W0-land. Lots of laughs! That dinner is a great Hamvention tradition.
 
I also echo your comments on Elecraft and what they do. I've had my K3 since February 2008. It was a great purchase and still is a great performer.
 
I hope to see you next year with the multitudes at Dayton.
