[Elecraft] KPA500 vs. other amps

[george fritkin]

What a reflector.  Sounds like a bunch of rationale to justify paying so much for the KPA500.  In my not to humble shack I have 18 transceivers in active positions each with an amp.  Some with "El Cheapo and some with "El Expensiveo" [HI] amplifiers.  Did someone say value?  I just do not see it in the KPA500.  I love my two K3s and they are the favorites of my visitors yes even over 10K radios.
 
So I probably never will buy one, but for those who like the feel of a fully integrated station and ignore the fact that on the air and your watt meter can not tell the difference, buy one
 
My opinion do not hate me!
 
Love my two K3s
