[hpsdr] new 100W AMP from Germany on eBay

[Chris Smith]

Erm ... It seems to me that this is rather expensive compared to the 140W kit from Communications Concepts for $96 without heatsink (extra $23). Admittedly that doesn't cover 6M & requires 5-10w input for full output but a lot less money. Even taking into account the cost of Pennywhistle to raise the 0.5 w to the required input level it's still expensive and the shipping at $115 is ridiculous. Not for me - I'm retired and saving my pennies for Alex.

Cheers
