The last thing I saw on this amplifier was a year ago.  I assume they 
decided not to manufacture it. I certainly had my reservations about the 
product, but it would been nice to have been proven wrong.

SGC states in their website that they ran into connectivity problems with the 
plug-in amplifier modules for the different bands for the Mini-Lini.  They 
said the plug-in connectors were unreliable and they will have to try to 
redesign the connectors or come up with a whole new concept for the amplifier. It 
looks like they used banana-plugs for the connectors in the pictures I have seen. 
They do plan to offer a complete single-band amplifier for 20 meters by the 
end of this year. Just type in SGC Mini Lini in google and a link to their 
current website will come up. 73 Todd WD4NGG.
