Yes, I had a feeling about that and confirmed it earlier today. Thanks
Alan. I never got a chance to actually look at the amp close up so I
knew very little about it, including its FCC status. There's no cheap
way around this so guess it's back to HRO or Universal Radio.

Is this amp good for HF Freqs 10 meters down to 80 meters as the

claims?
What purpose does the preamp serve?
With a boost in transmitting power, how will this affect receiving?
Would I be transmitting further than I can actually receive?

Sorry for the dumb questions. I have absolutely no experience with
linears, and this little amp seems too good to be true, so it
probably
is!
Anyone know where there's information online for this amp?

Thanks!
