Is there a 1500w amp from Elecraft in our future??

Greetings all,

I heard a rumor this afternoon that Elecraft is going to be marketing a 1500
watt amp at approx $6000.00 very soon. The rumor mill continues with the
story that Elecraft is going to buy the amp. From a "unknown" European
company and stick Elecraft's name on the product.

Sounds kinda far-fetch to me, but you never know..

Is this a very belated "April Fools" joke??

Best regards,

Jerry, W1IE

This rumor or a close cousin bubbles up out of the stinky mud every now and
then. Don't believe anything until you hear it from the principal owners.
Back to sleep.

Both statements are false. Demote your source :)

If Elecraft were going to re-brand and re-sell an amplifier from someone
else, which one should they choose, and why?

As far as I'm concerned, putting a KX2 or 3 (or any Elecraft transceiver for that matter) out on 1500W is insulting to Elecraft and the user. While I am typically a "brute-force" type of guy, it just seems like such a waste of such an elegant product. Now if I had to communicate with somebody on Pluto through crazy storms, then yeah. But here, even with these current band conditions? There are other ways to spend my money. Skills trump gear.

I am very fortunate to have been to the SWODXA DX dinner one year and saw a
1kw or more Elecraft prototype. I am sure there are photos out there
somewhere but it was a nice looking amp. It created lots of buzz that
evening. Then it was scuttled off to parts unknown to never be seen by the
masses. It might be in Area 51. Anyway I am sure with Elecrafts business
plan a large amp is not on the "list" .

It'll happen again at the end of January. Twice a year for the last 10.

Time to catch a clue boys. If it was going to happen it would have by now.
