<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.
