Absolutely right - the K2RIW amplifier for 432MHz was a revolution in
VHF/UHF amp design and construction. Everything about it was new,
different and better.
But for the record, did you guys really mean a 2m - repeat, 2m - version
that was designed, built and published by K2RIW himself? If so, please
can someone provide the reference?
