Group: How about adding an extra pre-drive stage with automatic gain which takes anywhere from 5-50W and drives it to the level needed for full (800 resp. 1800W) output?
That's how some of the other amps seem to do it. If you feed it 5W, the pre-drive stage does its 10dB thing first. If you feed it 25W, etc etc. up to the point where you feed it 50-100W, where it doesn't do any pre-drive at all, possibly even some level of 'input overdrive' shutdown protection. I'd like a KPA1800 for use with my K2/100, but being able to use it with my bare K2/15, as well as with e.g. my FT817 would kick ass. "One good amp serves all", and I'd prefer it to be an Elecraft ! Given the cost of R&D and the sheer desire to actually make money on things, Elecraft should think (or perhaps re-think) their design into a market position where they can grab a big load of sales, not "just" K2/100 owners...

I am curious if there any other benefits of installing the X60XV apart from not having to switch antennas?
