Rick, amp weights 1.5 lbs.

<It all sounded too good to be true until I read the bottom line.>
Guess you talking about no instructions. You don't need them. It's just a basic HF amp.

<My preference would be a 25w amp.
Surely there are some amp kits available for lower power!
Anyone know of any?>

Back in the 70s I built a little 15 watt amp that took less than 1 watt to drive. Etched the copper foil board with acid & it was small enough to put in your pocket. It was called boots for your Heathkit HW-8. Believe it was in the ARRL handbook of that era. Still have the HW-8, but have moved since then. I don't know of any kits in the U.S., but I'm sure there is info on the internet on how to build one from scratch.

73,
