Hello Phil,
Yes, good exercise. Except ICPW1, all the prices are WITHOUT antenna tuning
unit.
Based on that, the price per watt for SPE is say $3.9 per watt but with built-in
ATU. THP will be sure out of my consideration.
cheers,
Johnny VR2XMC

主題： Re: [Elecraft] KPA-500 vs THP
Of course, this little exercise (below) is not exactly comparing apples to
apples but it is a rough idea of relative cost per watt:
THP Amplifiers: HL-1.2KFX 750 watt $2600 $3.47 per watt
HL-1.5KFX 1000 watt $3500 $3.50 per
watt
HL-2.5KFX 1500 watt $6000 $4.00 per
watt
HL-550FX 550 watt $2950 $5.37 per
watt
ICOM Amplifier: IC-PW1 1000 watt $4600 (price I paid 4 years
ago) $4.60 per watt
Elecraft KPA500: KPA500 500 watt $2000 $4.00 per watt
The THP prices are from HRO web site, the Icom price is what I paid retail from
HRO, and the Elecraft is recently quoted here by Eric (I think). I know that
these are not all exactly the same kind of configuration but it gives
you an idea where things set. Elecraft is not the cheapest and it is not the
most expensive -- sort of right in
the middle.
