Yes, good point, Jim. The Elecraft stuff offers more integrated with
the rest of the E brand range, than when paired individually with other
gear.
I got to play with a friend's full K-line station, and the degree of
integration is, itself, a noteworthy feature. It must be a major
factor motivating K3 owners to buy the KPA500 over, say, a less
expensive, even higher power, but not integrated, MFJ solid state amp.
Oddly, I don't get the feeling Yaesu or Icom owners buy Y or I brand
amplifiers to match their Y or I brand transceivers as loyally as the E
brand guys buy the E brand amp and tuner. Part of that it could be
price, but I suspect the there is more to it than price because many
operators add an Alpha or other brand amp, rather than an I or Y brand
amp, for the same or even more money. I see a lot of Y and I radios,
but more often with other brand amps, whereas the E guys buy the E brand
amp much of the time.

I think I would add the Telepost LP-Pan instead of the P3.
I agree. The P3 integrates very nicely with the K3 (and I love mine),
but many features are not available when used with other rigs, and
Larry's software is quite nice.
