What catches my eye is that comparing the amps on page 1 and page 9, you have to pay $2,000 more for an additional 1.7 dB of gain with the amp on page 9.
Sure. you have to know how to adjust an amp and actually tune the one on page 1 whereas the one on page 9 is "no tuning" (assuming the antenna is tuned or you do the tuning with an external tuner). I guess that's significant to the hard-core contester, but for that convenience along with the 1.7 dB gain you must pay $2,000 for those who demand the ability to QSY across the band or between bands instantly, or who want to operate their station remotely through a computer.

No stated expected delivery Not enough "specs" for my liking, but still, rather interesting. Is this "contest grade?"
