[TenTec] KPA 500

[Rick - NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

I had trouble with the protection circuit kicking in too soon on the
ALS-600.
Sold it after about a year.
Was a real problem in contests in the winter time.

Otherwise, I loved the little amp, and I would buy one again if I were smart
enough to modify the protection circuitry to work like I need it to work.

I saw the KPA500 at the Orlando Hamfest.  Yes, it looks nice.  It also looks
cheap much like the rest of their equipment.  For the kind of money they are
getting for their equipment, the mechanical aspects have, in my mind, a lot
to be desired.  I would think that for not a whole lot more, they could
double the thickness of their aluminum panels but then again, I am not
falling for the Elecraft MoJo any more.

I think the Ameritron ALS-600 is a better deal.

Flame on:-)
