- - Hams are obviously willing to pay 5000 bucks for an amp, so why destroy the market by making amps that sell for 700 bucks? The intermediate option, making amps that are cheap to make, and then sell

- The BLF578XR is rated for use between 10-500MHz, which is something of a limitation for ham use. A pity because it appears it might be a lot more rugged than the Freescale MRFE6VP61K25H which is rate
