Amplifier

Ed Pflueger
I personally would like to have a solid state amp capable of 1500 watts.  I
have an Alpha 9500 and Palstar HF-Auto that works just fine but I enjoy the
way my KPA500/KAT500 along with the K3S works seamlessly with one another.
Surely a solid state amp and tuner could replace my present setup with less
real estate.   I took the time to train my KAT500 with my antennas and
really works nice.  With my other setup the Palstar has to do its thing with
RF applied and the alpha has to do its thing.  The Alpha takes three minutes
to warm up and the KPA500 instantaneous and has 6 meters as well where the
Alpha does not.  I'm not degrading the Alpha and Palstar at all because they
do work and quite well.

I would like


   - Attractive Price Point
   - 220VAC (given)
   - 1 antenna port
   - full RS232 or TPC/IP remote control
   - Good self protection due to antenna issues.
   - No tuner
   - No multiple antenna ports
   - Good metering for power, current, temp, etc...

In other words, make a great amp, by simple and bullet proof.  Leave the
antenna switching, tuners, etc to other devices.

Keep the price down.  By doing this, it makes it simple to support as a
company and easy to build.

You'll sell more by doing this.
