[Elecraft] KPA-500 Features and Pricing

[Byron Servies]

Hi all,

I have been following the discussion of the KPA500 with interest.  While we
will have to wait for full specs when the product is actually shipped, a
question I have had for some time is whether the SGC 500 Power Cube would be
a more comparable amp?  SGC makes high quality products, in my opinion, and
was curious why they are not mentioned more.

The amp is solid state, does 160-15m, automatically switches bands and is
$1400.  No tight integration and no blinky lights (I'm an engineer.  Never,
ever, underestimate the power of blinky lights!), and it is not a kit.
Still it looks pretty nice, if they were not currently having parts supply
problems and were shipping them.
