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?
