[SCCC] Amplifiers

[Raymond Benny]

Hello Dennis,
I purchased a KPA1500 a couple of years ago. Its a nice amp with all bands
included, it works well!

My only drawback is when one of my antennas developed a bad intermittent
connection that caused the amp matching problems. I continued transmitting
thinking it was no big deal, but it eventually caused one of the two RF
modules to go dead.

Guess it was my fault, but it cost me close to $600 for repairs and
shipping.

In the future, I may purchase another KPA1500, but like you, I'd do some
comparison shopping to see if there may be others that have better internal
protection.
