Weak, a serious, stock, as in a proper uPD858 chassis, Realistic TRC-449/Robyn 510D/Early Grant, may eventually damage it. When used between a "driver" as in a 2-3 watt AM, no more than a 12 watt SSB output it will last for years and be a great addition.

I'm still a bigger fan of curing the problem , if one exists, at the antenna.

If on the other hand the issue is at the input to an amplifier fix it there.

I have always felt that these devices were a solution in search of a problem. I'm more in favor of curing the cause, not treating the symptom.

just my $0.02 worth ...

...and where's my change ?
