Nice...their website doesn't show any links for purchase price.  Did they
mention a pricetag?

With all of the discussion recently about SS amps, here is one that might be
worth checking out:

http://rf-kit.de/en/2k_Kit.php

RF-KIT, a firm based in Germany, was exhibiting a legal-limit HF Amplifier
Kit at the Hamvention. The unit on display was using two LDMOS power devices
and sported a 7" color touchscreen for amplifier control and status. The kit
includes everything necessary to build the amplifier except the Raspberry Pi
3 CPU, and three fans. The company's literature states that it can be built
in less than a day.

My roommate placed an order at Dayton.  It was all for under $3000 for the
"1500 watt" version, with LPF.  If I remember correctly, the lead time was
six weeks.  It did include the low pass filter.  Final assembly was
installing the fans, the Rasberry Pi, and connecting the internal coaxial
cables.

We spent a lot of time at the booth and I was impressed by the specs, the
price, and the consideration that went into design.  And the product
history.

I plan on being involved in the final assembly, and I'll update this thread
with my impressions.

It does have 2kW LPF.
The price is about 2700 without antenna tuner and 3000 with antenna tuner.

I have a google photo album with pictures I took in Dayton -

It is also missing LPF (Low Pass Filter) and that is most important, You
will need a minimum of 6 filters. Additionally you will need either a 6

exciter for filter selection. Perhaps other hardware.

Looks good, though i'm not wild about the red color or the huge model
numbers on the front panel.

Jim:
That's an overlay on the front panel.  Someone else does them. rf-kit is
sort of swamped right now.  They're going to come out with a brochure
down the road that covers the overlays.
