solid state amplifiers at the show.  We are now going through the FCC 
certification process for these amps  (basically to show that they can't 
be used as CB amplifiers). We can not  take orders until after we receive 
the final certification, which usually  takes 90-120 days.

The KPA 800 is a single box amplifier with an  internal custom designed
