Related to ham radio stuff, how, though?
If you want to hipot things like 8877s and 4-1000s and such, you'll need
more than 6kV. Ditto goes for HV connectors and HV cable assemblies and
such.
But 2200V would be sufficient for AC primary stuff, AC power cords and
connectors, etc.

The application is to ham radio related stuff. Not commercial. I do not
know what I may need to test in the future, so I do not know what to get
in a tester.

A lot of off-the-shelf hipot testers for consumer electronic
equipment
stop at 6kVdc (because that's the limit of the requirement for
compliance testing on a 240V circuit) and that's not nearly high
enough
voltage to test, say, a high power transmitting tube.
Are you looking to do compliance testing, which requires a
stipulated
ramp time, dwell time and leakage limit? Or just to see where
stuff
flashes over? How high a voltage?
