[Elecraft] Elecraft] KPA1500 ?

[Kevin Stover]

The $5K part just isn't going to happen...ever.
Bare naked 500W KPA500 factory built sans tuner costs $2300 multiply 
times 3 and you get $6900 still sans tuner.
When you go up in output and duty cycle you go up in cost, especially if 
using solid state devices and the requisite anti-stupid hardware and 
firmware to keep your average ham from roasting transistors.
