How many $per watt for the Ameritron 600? Ameritron lists the ALS-600 at
$1299. For base station usage you need the power supply. Total package
list price of $1428. Or, $2.38 per watt [SSB]. [600 watt]

The AL-811H lists for $799 or $1.00 per watt [SSB]. [800 watt]

The AL-80B lists for $1349 or $1.39 per watt [SSB]. [1000 watt]

The AL-1500 lists for $3045 or $2.03 per watt [SSB]. [1500 watt]

If you are considering base usage the AL-811H is less than 1/2 S unit
below the AL-1500 at about 1/2 the price.

The ALS-600 is only 1 1/4 S units above a 100 watt base or mobile station.

I own the AL-80B. It has about 1/4 S unit below the AL-1500. [SSB]

Save some money and put it to good use on your antenna system.
