KPA1500

Bill Breeden

Eric, WA6HHQ, gave a presentation titled "High Performance Ham Radio:
Inside KPA500 & Elecraft K-Line" at various hamfests in 2011, including
Huntsville where I attended.  He explained that before Elecraft settled
on the KPA500 they built three different sized prototype amplifiers for
proof of concept and to establish the cost for each.  He explained that
when that effort was complete the KPA500 was thought to be the best fit
for the market at that time. When a member of the audience asked what
happened to the legal limit amplifier, Eric replied that it was in his
shack.  Eric can correct me if I have failed to remember his
presentation accurately.
