[hpsdr] Interesting amp kit (maybe)...

[tbruns]

FWI - I received the following email from the designers (note the first 
rough price estimate of a JUMA PA1000 kit is 2000€ or $2706 at today's 
exchange).

--------------------------------------------

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in JUMA PA1000. We appreciate your 
encouraging comments.

We are continuously getting lot of questions concerning the 
availability, price, performance and other features. Possibly the reason 
for the high interest is that JUMA PA1000 might be the first published 
HF application of the new Freescale 1kW MOSFET. Here is some information 
to you.

We have currently only one prototype, which is shown in the JUMA PA1000 
site. Everything is looking good and promising but you understand that 
it will take some time to evaluate the high power wide band performance 
and all the other features. We also need to build more prototypes for 
type testing. Additionally our intention is to develop a more 
sophisticated user interface with related software including auto band 
selection and other useful features. Unfortunately we have rather 
limited resources and there are plenty of other JUMA kits which need 
support.

The first rough price estimate of a JUMA PA1000 kit is 2000€. Kits might 
be available in the first or second quarter of 2012 if everything goes 
smoothly. So please be patient. We will update the JUMA PA1000 site when 
we are ready.
