>Henry SS- series
>Ameritron ALS-500M
>Worth-More
>RF Electronics 500/1k 'kits'
>SGC SG-500 'PowerCube'
>Windjammer
>Metron (used only/out of business, apparently?)

>Would anyone care to float unadulterated opinion on the good/bad/ugly side
of this list?  Anyone I forgot?

>So far from info at hand I'd have to say my favorite is the SG-500, mainly

the front marked 'Band'???).  But you pay...
