[Amps] vl2000

[Jeff Blaine]

Too bad Joe.

But I sure would  like to have a pair of those DISH units on my bench here. 
Every time I see those bad boys at dayton my mouth goes a "waddiinnnn....."

No, the amplifier was ready ... Yaesu have decided that they can not
sell the amplifier in the US at a profit.  The Yen has increased about
20% vs. the US Dollar which would require selling the VL-2000 for more
than $10,000 US in order for Yaesu to make a profit when the Dollars
were converted to Yen.

Yaesu believe they can not sell enough VL-2000 at $10,000 to justify
building the amplifier.
