I've not seen these until tonight. QRP 5w Continuous SSB/CW xmit 100khz-30mhz! Wonder how long til some kid tries to blank out a 50kw am station?

Looks like an interesting rig though. Found a few YT vids on them





Anyone seen these before?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I think someone mentioned these in another thread awhile back. They didn't give any details so I started looking around and found them on line. I'm curios how clean they are. I also wonder how they can sell a radio that can cover the frequency that one does, and not get a squeak out of the FCC. I guess in time, and after enough interference issues and people hanging wide band amps on them, they will make the black list. But then again..............

From the Web site the OP linked to:

Five Ham Bands are configured with bandpass filtering. Transmitting on frequencies outside these ranges will require external bandpass filtering.

It comes programed to transmit only on the standard ham bands: 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10m. You can make it transmit on the other bands, but you have to go into a menu and switch things around. I imagine that's how they got the thing to pass FCC certification.
