Gary,
"Jumping on the bandwagon"?
THP has been driving that "bandwagon" for about 4 years with the previous
model - the HL-1.1KFX. The new one, the HL-550FX simply adds 6m to the
previous model.
I would wager that THP is not aware of the developments at Elecraft. In
fact, the HL550FX was envisioned/planned long before Elecraft first
announced the KPA-500.

Hi All,
Has anyone noticed Tokyo High Price have announced what seems to be a
direct competitor to the KPA-500?
Reading the blurb it seems like they are jumping on the bandwagon for
portable amplifiers BUT the price is just a bit worrisome?
