See the link below to this "KIT" amplifier.

http://rf-kit.de/en/

It's very obvious that whoever designed the software for this amp is a highly experienced Ham that's putting a great deal of time, effort and understanding into the ergonomics, workflow and snap-shot readability of the data being presented.

Designers of more high-end and more expensive products should take note, this is not just "eye candy" but actually what discerning operators are expecting as standard.

    My understanding of the 2.0 Interface is that it will be very similar to what we have now

    The website says "B26 RF-2K+ complete kit ready to deliver" but there are no links for pricing or ordering.  Do you know of any other links?

    Jerry, I would just email Reinhard.  He responds pretty quickly.  I traded emails with him this morning and he replied in less than an hour.  I think the price was about 2700 Euros including shipping without the tuner, but that was my Dayton price.  It is a complete kit, other than you have to add some fans and a PI computer.

    2700 Euros translates to 3008.00 USD. I'll keep my Maestro, it hasn't failed me yet.

    The GUI is for an HF amp, not a replacement for the Mestro.  :)

    $3000 for a 2 device LDMOS amp is a bargain. If they made one for 2 meters I might get it.
