[Amps] The cost of amplifiers, radios

[Catherine James]

OK, then the Henry was the wrong example to make my point.

I don't think I've ever seen one at a hamfest, and as far as I know none of the local hams use one. They run Ameritron, Dentron, or Kenwood. So I'm not really familiar with Henry price or size.

(It was all I could do to carry the SB-220 back to the car after purchase. Can't imagine doing that with a heavier amp. Next time, cart or dolly for me!)

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the $/watt for solid state amps to equal that of hollow state. Right now it's still 2:1.
