73, Rick, K7MW
Collins 30S-1 Linear Amplifier (1 KW), 1958, original cost: $1556, cost in 2017
dollars: $13,264
So, a new technology K-Line is not that bad as something equivalent from
Collins back in the 1950s
could easily cost 4 times as much today!
It is interesting to see the price comparisons of a high end K3 set up
against some of the higher end (back in the day) equipment. I wonder about
the definition of "affordable". The cost of a K3 system for me is not
affordable.
