Re: [Amps] Why price difference

[Mark Hill <g4fph@mjha.co.uk>]

Dan,

Worth considering not just the cost of the initial purchase but also the 
'total cost of ownership (TCO)'.

As one part of the TCO-equation, some valves cost a lot more than others 
thesedays.  Is the Commander still using 3CX800?

Regards.

Mark.
