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:

Amplifier module for an LDMOS
W6PQL 5 plus 19% import tax (€199) plus shipping from the USA
DX-World €115 plus 23% VAT (€141) plus shipping from Greece
DP-AMP €149 plus DHL parcel from Germany

None of the suppliers offer protection for the LDMOS against voltage spikes and overvoltage, no temperature measurement directly next to the LDMOS, which is so important, and no optional possibility to flexibly adapt the input power to your transceiver by means of a cooled PI attenuator.

Low pass filter module
W6PQL €5 plus 19% import tax (€487) plus shipping from the USA
DX-World €295 plus 23% VAT (€362) 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 €400 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.
