[TenTec] Mega Sale Pricing

[K8JHR]

Yes, good point, Jim.  The Elecraft stuff offers more integrated with 
the rest of the E brand range, than when paired individually with other 
gear.

I got to play with a friend's full K-line station, and the degree of 
integration is, itself, a noteworthy feature.   It must be a major 
factor motivating K3 owners to buy the KPA500 over, say, a less 
expensive, even higher power, but not integrated, MFJ solid state amp.

Oddly, I don't get the feeling Yaesu or Icom owners buy Y or I brand 
amplifiers to match their Y or I brand transceivers as loyally as the E 
brand guys buy the E brand amp and tuner.   Part of that it could be 
price, but I suspect the there is more to it than price because many 
operators add an Alpha or other brand amp, rather than an I or Y brand 
amp, for the same or even more money.  I see a lot of Y and I radios, 
but more often with other brand amps, whereas the E guys buy the E brand 
amp much of the time.
