[Amps] Amps Digest, Vol 261, Issue 7

Sun Sep 22 16:43:38 EDT 2024

Excuse me for addressing the group on this topic again. I was vague and offered insinuation instead of just saying the truth. In the U.S., there is no such thing as an illegal RF amplifier regardless of what frequency it is designed for, or how someone else thinks it might be used. This is called "Freedom" and I'm sorry if some folks disagree with that. Lots more could be said, but that's enough. Mark BitterlichRetired MarineWa3jpy
