Subject: [Amps] RF2K+ LDMOS linear
<I would like to clear up the information on the RF2K+ by RF-Kit.de in
Germany.
I have tried to join the list but have not been able to get confirmation.
If this message goes through I will followup with another message
answering the questions I have seen here.
BTW, I am not an Agent or Employee of RF-kit.de. I have built several of
these linears and I have volunteered to help with the English version of
the Manual.

## At $2685.00 to $2985.00 + another $270.00 for shipping + misc parts
= $3255.00
for the amp + tuner, + shipping, raspberry pi3 for the full blown version.
## At that price point, this now spells the end of the tube era. Done,
finished. End of story.
SS 160-6m Auto tune amp, auto tuner, no expensive tubes to buy, super light
weight etc.
## No auto tune tube amp covers HF + 6m. To get HF + 6m from say Alpha,
with 2 of their alpha amps,
you could buy 4 of these SS amps, and have $ left over.
## The ameritron AL-1500 lists for $4295.00 + shipping...doesnt have 6M,
no auto tune, no auto tuner...so its toast.
## alpha 9500 lists for $7995.00 + shipping. No 6m. No auto tuner.
Its now toast.
## alpha 8406 manual tune 6M amp. $4995.00 + shipping. Toast.
## all these current tube amps are now kaputsky. Emtron is already doa.
Eimac has priced themselves into oblivion.
If the chinese stop making tubes, your tube amp will become a door stop. Get
rid of it while you still can. Hats off to the
german folks who have now put the final nail in the coffin of the tube era.
