[Elecraft] KPA-500 Features and Pricing

[Wayne Burdick]

All of our products are priced based on the cost of goods and on  
recovering our cost of development over time. The KPA500 will be  
fairly priced using these same criteria.

The KPA500 includes a built-in linear power supply, with a toroidal  
transformer, to ensure no added transmit noise. There's no way to do  
this cheaply. It's also an extremely compact amplifier, matching the  
K3 in size, which was not easy. These and other features make for an  
apples-and-oranges comparison to other amplifiers.

If the KPA500's unique qualities are not what you're looking for,  
there are other alternatives at lower cost.
