Hi Allen: I built the 6-20 meter version when they first came out
a year or so ago, and it works great. It was fun to build, a real
good set of instructions, and hit on all cylinders from the get-go.
It has great Pin Diode switching for QSK and automatic switching.
The LNA is terrific. Mine has excessive gain on 20 meters, about
10 dB more than necessary for use at the operating position. However,
that is perfect for those who mount it near the antenna. The gain
overcomes transline losses.
You'll enjoy building and operating a cute little rig.
