I just can't resist writing this. If you're tired of praise for
Elecraft, please delete.
I bought myself a KPA-1500 for Christmas, 2018. It worked just fine,
though with a couple of quirks. In particular, I had two quite
dissimilar antennas for 40M, and while working Assisted S&P with
occasional large QSYs the amp would sometimes throw a high reflected
power fault.
This fall, I wrote to Elecraft Support about this, and found myself in
very detailed correspondence with Dick Dievendorff and Bob Wolpert.
Dick's the firmware author, and he produced at least two beta versions.
The latest one, which is now the production version, completely solved
the problem - now when I move 60 KHz and change antennas, the amp
gracefully retunes itself and settles in for the fun part.
It's like having a 1500-watt transceiver
