Yes. For the power you cannot beat the KPA500. I would own one, if I didn't already own a very nice 1.5 KW amp. I only collect radios, Elecraft, but not amps.

After reading about the Tokyo Hi-Power HL-550FX review in the March, 2013 QST, I realize how much the KPA500 really shines. The review states the 550FX: 1) Needs 50 to 80 watts of drive power (depending on band). 2) Protection circuit will not reset for at least 5 minutes. 3) Two SO-239 sockets on back (transceiver and antenna). 4) Rotary band switch. 5) Analog panel meter. 6) High speed mechanical relays that can keep up with full break-in in CW QSK up to at least 35WPM. 7) $3000.00 price tag. This is a real bargain, ain't it!!!
