KPA1500, KPA800 rollout delay

W0FK

The KPA1500 and KPA800 amps were earlier projected for an October/November
rollout. Elecraft has advised me that they are now looking after the first
of the year (the January/February time frame).

Lou, WØFK

Hi Lou,
   
  That's probably for the best.  I have to say if the YL knew I was even entertaining the idea of the KPA1500 before Christmas.  I don't think I would be able to afford the the divorce attorney and child support. I'd never get the amp then.  Especially after buying the K2 & options I just bought a few weeks ago.  I would say waiting till after tax refund season is here is not a bad idea at all.  HA HA!
   
  Have a great day all

Refresh my memory.  What are these?  Linear amps, 800 and 1500 watts out?  100 watts in?  Price?

Here's what I got from Elecraft last May. This may change, as this was some time back.

"The KPA 800 is a single box amplifier with an internal custom designed 60V switching power supply.  It weighs approximately 36 lbs. Dimensions are 16.5"w x 15.5"d x 7"h.

The KPA1500 uses two enclosures. The main desktop RF deck is the same size as the KPA800. The power supply enclosure is approximately 4" high and is the same depth and width as the main unit. It can sit under the main enclosure or under your operating table. The KPA1500 easily makes 1500W+ on 160M - 10M. We also plan for it to cover 6M with lower power.
>> (Approximately 400W). The main RF box weighs about 40 lbs and the power supply box about 15 lbs.

 Here is a short list of additional features:

 �    Full Break-In Silent Diode T/R
 �    Microprocessor Controlled
 �    Auto Band Switching (RF Sensing)
 �    Built In Auto-Tuner. Matches 3:1 at 1500W
 �    SO2R ready. Two Rig Inputs / Two Antenna Outputs (2nd rig routes to alternate antenna)
 �    RS-232 Port for remote control and firmware downloadable updates.
 �    Key-In / Key-Out sequencing for older rigs
 �    Custom Designed witching Power Supply (RF Quiet)

The assembled version of the KPA1500 should sell for about $5,900; The KPA800 about $3,900. The kit versions for these should be around $300-500 less. (These are not final prices and may vary several hundred dollars.) We will pre-assemble the power supplies and the internal RF cards on the kits."
