I agree with Jack's comments below 100%. Sounds like the amp is way over priced to me.
Joe N9VX no K3 at this time, but thinking about another one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like Elecraft may be abandoning their traditional "most bang for the buck" market position in favor of selling over priced "matching accessories" to stupid yuppies. Unlike the K3, a $2000 500W amp is not going to be in the "best value" position in anyone's analysis, although I'm sure they will sell a few to the "true believers". Currently, used prices for ALS-600's run $800 to $900 and ALS-1300's are showing up for sale at $1800 to $2000. In my case, there is a finite amount of money available for radio station enhancements. When I can buy a solid state MFJ for ~$1.50/watt or an older no-tune ETO Alpha for ~$1.00/watt, a $4.00/watt Amp that's principal virtue seems to be matching my K3, doesn't have a snow balls chance in Hades of ever gracing my desk. But maybe the rumored ridiculous price point is just a smoke screen and the real product will show up with a more palatible price. 73 Jack KZ5A K3 #4165 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
