Burghardt is getting out of the retail business. They have some PW1
units in their remaining stock for sale at under $3K.

I've used a PW1 with my K3 (and K2) with good success. You'll want to
use a band decoder with it to get automatic band switching, and should
modify the K3 ALC circuit to accept negative-going ALC (to set a
protective drive limit, not as a power control signal).
Another nice amplifier is the SG-500 SmartPowerCube, which puts out
500-600 watts on HF (no 6m). It uses positive-going ALC and protects
itself well from those who would do it harm.
