Just a couple of things:

1) Unless all of your antennas are very well matched you'll need a tuner. An 
autotuner for 1200w is relatively expensive. So 'no tune' is not exactly true.

2) It doesn't appear to include QSK; the band decoder is also extra.

3) It says "1200 watts of clean SSB output". I suggest this means 1000w on CW and 
600w RTTY.

Because of 1 & 2 it's not so cheap.
