Hi Ken We all have our requirements! Mine would be good IMD performance.
Its certainly a very competitive market place. The new Ameritron ALS1300 is selling for $2500 dollars. The KPA500 certainly would have to deliver very good performance against such a competitive price with double the power output. The MRF150's also have very good IMD performance. 73 John --- On Thu, 9/9/10, Ken Chandler <g0...@sky.com> wrote: > From: Ken Chandler <g0...@sky.com> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA-500 Features and Pricing > To: "tom_k1tl" <k...@cox.net> > Cc: "<elecraft@mailman.qth.net>" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> > Date: Thursday, September 9, 2010, 1:03 AM > What I'm more interested as a big CW > operator, rag chewer, DXer, es Contester, is It's ability to > handle full seamless silent QSK using quality vacuum > relays. > Have Elecraft got that bit right!! > > Ken..G0ORH K2, K3, P3. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > > > On 8 Sep 2010, at 21:14, "tom_k1tl" <k...@cox.net> > wrote: > > >> From what I heard that the price may be $2000+. > That price may not be "set > > in stone". > > It suppose to put out 500-600w even into the 6m > band...neat!!
