SGC SG500 $2.60 per watt.
PW1 and Quadra around 4 dollars per watt. (these are $4K ea. right?)
Centurion $1.66/watt. Okay, now it's more like $1.83/watt.
Titan III $2.33/watt
(based on list prices rounded off.)
You just flat-out always get more watts for ur money with tubes. Now,
that may change in the future, and for now if you have the bucks for solid
state, FB. I guess it's a matter of operator style. I don't make
sudden wide QSY changes; I park somewhere for a few hours and
ragchew. Therefore manual tuning is okay for me. In fact, I kind of
enjoy it. Part of the ham experience and allows me to keep my eye on how
the gear is doing. I liken it to the feel you get in an automobile with
manual transmission.
