It's only for radio operators that want maximum range from their rig.


Along with maximum splatter.


In looking closely at his photos, it appears his circuit is based on the
Analog Devices SSM2166 (product data: http://tinyurl.com/6eadpn). The
specifications indicate it *can* be operated cleanly. Of course, to set it
up requires at least an oscilloscope... which many hams don't own (or know
how to use).

Based on the photos I've seen, I wouldn't buy one because of the poor
soldering:

I'll just continue to use my 2-tube (2x 3-500Z) speech "processor":
