Our prices
Does quality have to be expensive because prices in
Germany are not competitive?
Not at all!
As a company in Germany, we certainly have to pay significantly
more taxes than companies abroad.
Many “private commercial operators” save on taxes, which
naturally lowers their prices.
But that doesn't have to be the case!
Here are two examples:
(More coming
soon)
Amplifier module for an LDMOS
W6PQL 5 plus 19% import tax (€199) plus
shipping from the USA
DX-World €93,50 plus 23% VAT (€115) plus
shipping from Greece
DP-AMP €149 plus DHL parcel from Germany
W6PQL does not offer protection for the LDMOS against voltage
spikes or overvoltage. DX World-e has protection against
voltage spikes from the transceiver. Neither provider offers
protection for the gates against overvoltage, nor do they offer
temperature measurement directly next to the LDMOS, which is so
important. Furthermore, neither provider offers the option of
flexibly adjusting the input power to your transceiver using a
flexible PI attenuator.
The BIAS voltage is implemented very simply by both
suppliers.
DP-AMP relies on the proven control circuit from the DP-AMP
HVF1k2.
This has the advantage that it is completely freely adjustable
and can be precisely adjusted to each LDMOS.
Low pass filter module
W6PQL €5 plus 19%
import tax (€487) plus shipping from the
USA
DX-World €239,84 plus 23% VAT (€295) plus
shipping from Greece
DP-AMP €299 plus DHL parcel from Germany
Here too, DP-AMP stands up to comparison.
No other provider has implemented RX/TX switching, which incurs
additional costs.
The filters at DP-AMP go up to 70 MHz and also include the new
or expected bands.
This makes a DP-AMP LPF future-proof!
Looking at the figures objectively, DP-AMP is certainly able to
compete on price.
But if you take a closer look at the quality and features, it
quickly becomes clear that DP-AMP has a clear advantage.
How about a look at the
enclosure?
Gladly, because the enclosure is a
good example of how subjective the assessment of price can
be.
If you take the front and back panels and configure them with
Schaeffer's Front Panel Designer, you will find that the price
for the two panels alone is €329 including VAT.
Now all you need is the top, bottom, and side panels, which of
course also have holes and milled ventilation slots.
Given the high quality, we can definitely say that our
price is reasonable.
Our goal is not to be the cheapest
supplier.
Since 2008, we have been impressing customers with
consistently high quality, excellent service, and
support.
