No, you wanted a unit but were unwilling to buy it.  As a distributor
I do not have "evaluation units" and will not sell a "B Stock" unit
as new (and will not turn a new product into "B stock" by allowing
anyone a free trial).  Even ARRL purchases the products they review.

If you can't read network analyzer plots, that's your problem. 
microHAM's products consistently meet or exceed published
specifications and to say they are "not recommended" based on
your inability to read the network analyzer plots is wrong.

Again, the number of other (failed) switches replaced by microHAM 6 x 2
and 10 x 2 switches is plenty of proof if their quality and reliability.
