[Elecraft] KPA-500 vs THP

[Darin Land]

Agreed, I'm a relatively new HAM and really like the integrated approach to the modular components of the Elecraft "system". Currently have a moderately configured K3 & P3... saving up for the new amp and tuner.  Really like being able to add high quality component, as needed, to my k3 system that make the "old timers" drool with envy. :)

Solus Veritas,
Darin
