Thanks Wes,
You are entitled to your opinion which is sound and me, mine which is
also sound. Yours seems based on long-established theory and mine based
on 32 years of DX'ing practice.
Maybe there should be no need for an ATU option for the K3-100? And..I
would not have 342 DXCC with 100W and all with non-resonant wire. I have
no physical capability for multiple resonant antennas here at my QTH.
Do I /need/ an amp?...no...It's a /want /only. Plenty of folks like the
SPE 1K and have said so on many forums.
I'm patient and not ready to jump to conclusions here as I 'm sure its
still a ways off... but If there isn't an ATU on board as I recall there
was with the earlier prototypes of the bigger Elecraft amps, I wish that
there were one with the KPA 500 and I'm disappointed if not, that's all.
The folks at Elecraft are savvy, proficient and clever, more so than
most others but they are not perfect. There is plenty of room for
discussion and disagreement on points. (I'd still like to have had
dedicated bandswitches on the K3.)
YMMV,
Offered in the form of good spirited debate.
Come on guys at Visalia, we need some GOOD jpegs.
