They are on the expensive side for a stamped out surface mount board. Most amp builders start with a copper board and actually build an amp that is then hand tuned. I would rather pay for that kind of work. The mosfets they use are not even transmitting finals. When you read the specs they seem to require a lot of peak drive. I prefer a switched SSB delay. A local guy tried one years ago when they first came out, sounded a bit crunchy or harsh on SSB. I wish they were class AB with some filtering like the blue face Palomar/Cobra/Magnum amps had years ago. That said the best part about this hobby is anyone can try what ever amp or radio they want. At this point maybe some members here can test them out and hopefully have good results.
