[Elecraft] KPA-500 Features and Pricing

[juergen]

Hi Ken

We all have our requirements! Mine would be good IMD performance.

Its certainly a very competitive market place. The new Ameritron ALS1300
is selling for $2500 dollars. The KPA500 certainly would have to deliver  very good performance against such a competitive price with  double the power output. The MRF150's also have very good IMD performance.
