I find that I am in the market for a two meter band amplifier. What I
could use are opinions from those who have used both the RM ITALY and
MFJ Mirage amplifiers. The cost of a new RM ITALY amp is about the
same as a used Mirage at the 100 to 150 watt level. If you have used
both and would be willing to say which you prefer and why that would
be very helpful.

I have a 35 watt Mirage.. Very good company behind it.... (Check out the
pedigree of Mirage that is who they are a division of)

The unit I have is for use with a hand held. and it is a dual band and I
have nothing bad to say about it.. As for good.. Well, it works as it
should.. The only time I've had a "Problem" with it it was that the unit
was not working at all.. When I looked I found the "Problem" on test
procedure #1.. (Push the button to make sure you turned it ON dummy)..
Soon AS I turned it on ... Worked perfectly.

Thing is 4 years old. And still works perfectly.
