Hmmm, why is it necessary to run 1500 watts?

Seems like a huge investment in amplifiers, antennas, accessories and cables along with the associated maintenance.

We here you guys but you often don't her us. Perhaps power does not replace an efficient antenna system?

Although we are restricted to 400w in VK, most operators seem to do well running around that power anyway.

Is the US different in as much as you have high QRM/QRN ? And 1500 watts is what you need to be heard by other stations?

Just curious, no criticism meant....(:-))

I would still like to see a KPA-500 released regardless of the older pair once mooted.
