[Amps] re dishtronix amp

[Pete Smith]

I don't know whether the Dishtronix amp is any good, but the pricing isn't 
that nutty - there are a number of people running 2 Alpha 87As or two Acom 
2000A amplifiers for SO2R contesting.  If the SO2R switching operates 
properly, one Dishtronix would be less expensive than that.

A couple of years ago, at Dayton, Elecraft showed a prototype legal-limit 
amplifier with similar SO2R capabilities and a built-in antenna tuner, that 
they tentatively priced at US$6000.  If they bring that to market once the 
K3 is well launched, and it works as advertised, then it would be a bargain 
compared to two self-tune amps by any manufacturer.
