I wonder how much these are. Do you think the FCC would approve them on this
side of the Pacific?

Too bad the site doesn't have an English version.

Good Day All,

I am continually amazed & perplexed at how some Hams will readily dole out
HUGE $$$ for amplifiers like this (see earlier eBay reference item
220304468622), when they can just as easily homebrew one that will be as
competitive as most ANY available "appliance", AND for one heckuva savings,
too...

Homebuilt power amplifiers and QRO transmatches are, IMHO, the last bastion
left for those of us who enjoy "...rolling our own." HALF of the fun of
using an amplifier is the journey getting there --- and by "journey" I mean
the journey of coming up with a suitable schematic, collecting the parts,
laying them out, drilling / bending metal, soldering etc. etc., and NOT the
journey to the local Ham Radio Emporium...!

Best of all, the doggone things continually teach one something new, AND on
a regular basis --- or so it seems with my stuff here, anyway!

You certainly don't get that benefit by packaging-up a broken rig, &
delivering it to the local UPS depot for returning to the manufacturer...

My $0.02, anyway!
