[Elecraft] Elecraft - Full Line Manufacturer

[Lee Buller]

Well, now that I have got your attention with the subject line.....

The recent threads on amplifiers has been interesting since I am looking at adding an additional one to my station.

I know the Elecraft people are very busy with the K3 roll out now, but with the advent of power transistors capable of delivering adequate power, I would like to suggest that Elecraft look at developing their amplifier again.  Whoa now....hold the phone.

I know they are busy....and I am willing to wait....but it seems that the day of the transistor power amp is here and the players right now are IC, Y, Ameritron, and THP.  I am not sure I want to shell out 5500 to 6500 bucks for one of these amps that can run SO2R....but.....

Could there be a middle ground where a KW SS amp can come in at an affordable price...say below 1500 to 2000 bucks?  Little do I know about cost accounting.  Just asking questions...and making conversation.

It seems the market is growing for this type of amp.
