I'm embarking on QRP projects and I'd like to find a (preferably freebie)
spice-like circuit simulator to run on Mac OS X.  Any suggestions?  There
seem to be quite a few variations out there.

Andrew;

Two suggestions for you. Go to http://www.machamradio.com/
and take a look around. They have some interesting pointers there.  
Before you do that, though, go to Version Tracker  
(www.versiontracker.com)
and look up Spice. A new version of MacSpice was released last week.

Hope this helps!

I'm going 100% QRP so I have for sale my KPA100 from my K2.
I bought it new last year and built it myself.  I'm an electrical engineer
with plenty building experience, and this was my second built KPA100.
Quality is superb - used a temp controlled iron, fine tip, minimal solder,
etc.  I'm proud of the build.  The amp works perfectly, looks great.  Comes
with manual.

$395 includes shipping within the U.S.

Note - I can't remember too well but I think a few parts supplied with the
KPA100 kit are installed on my K2 board, such as the mating connectors for
some of the wires going to the KPA100.  You will need to procure such parts
yourself (through elecraft for example).  The manual should detail which
parts these are.
