I'm not sure where you got the extra $1000 from.  Currently, HRO is
selling the Quadra for $2999.  Great price for the Quadra, but still
pricey for a less than full power HF amp.

OK ... I had not priced the Quadra in some time.  Last I looked 
it was $3895 from most sources.  In any case, $2999 is a coupon 
price - HRO's regular price is $3499.  If you want to compare 
selling price the ALS-1300 will probably end up between $2249 
and $2499 if the retailers discount at the same 15 to 20% rate 
as they do on the other Ameritron amplifiers.  

The ALS-1300 will not be in the same class as the Elecraft amps 
(whenever they are available) but it is an interesting option 
for someone who does not need the last fraction of a dB in power, 
performance, or features.

Thanks Joe...

Actually, in a way, Elecraft KPA800 and 1500 and the Ameritron ALS1300
are in the same class...NOT YET AVAILABLE.  :-)
