They're actually quite a bit less $$ than that unless you're looking in the high-power, 5 kW+ category. That being said, you're stuck on one frequency, everyone will complain (with some justification) that you're too wide, they don't work on SSB or CW and most of them have cooling systems that are just too damn loud!

But here is one of my favorites:

Commercial-grade SSB equipment ain't much to write home about, especially in the audio quality area.

Why not buy a commercial quality broadcast
transmitter?  It only works on one frequency and
you'll need to rig it to reduce the power but just
think about the audio.  For about $75,000 there would
be no dispute about the audio quality with that baby
on the air.

Quit messing around with amatuer transmitters, they
are for amatuers.  Go for it....
