Straight from the Micrometals spec sheets and then some testing. There is a 
huge difference between using it in a SS HF VFO and with actual power with 
much larger wire which limits the low frequency. The 6 and now the 7 mix is 
very stable compared to the 2 mix and popular with the QRP crowd. OTOH the 2 
mix is the "standard" in 1.8-30 MHz 4:1 baluns....far from perfect but 
useable.

Palomar makes nothing besides CB amps and little accessories, they buy from 
Micrometals the same as I do.
