[Elecraft] What became of the Elecraft's KPA1500 and KPA 800

[Bob - W0GI]

Alpha 8410 - $5K, but you have to tune it, and your grandchildren will,
because it will outlast you.

Alpha 9500 - $8K, and you will still be dead while it still works, but the
grandchildren don't have to tune it at all. Pretty boring for them. :>)

The fact is, for people that have the money, it will be hard to convince
them not to buy an Alpha 9500. It is the amp most of us would love to have.
At the same time, I can get full legal power out of my Henry that was made
in the 60's. It just takes turning knobs. :>)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Spend $5K for an Alpha with a pair of 4CX1000A's which will
do "brick on 
the key" all day and night or the same $5K on an amp that can't (THP 2.5K)? 

I would encourage Elecraft to drop the whole idea unless they can build 
and sell an "Alpha Class" amp for less. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
