more on the KPA800/1500

In the KPA series, we're using a different construction technique than
that of other amps. Rather than interconnect modules using a slew of RF
and control cables, we use a single large motherboard, into which all
functional modules simply plug in. (It's very Elecraftish, and looks
better, too :)

The modules are arranged on the mother board in the same locations as
they appear on the electrical block diagram. This makes signal flow
very clear to the builder or service tech.

As a result of this arrangement there are far fewer cable assemblies,
improving reliability. It's also quite simple to swap modules in/out in
the field, should that ever be necessary. Complete diagnostic hardware
and firmware is included to isolate modules that might have to be
replaced.

Wayne, N6KR
