Very cool! Xiegu makes one that matches up with the G90, but it really jumped in price. I have a lot of fun with low power, but I understand. I tried last night to work a guy from Chile but didn't have the legs to get there.

He worked me using 1 watt! QRP is fun man. |

I worked a guy in BC canada with 1 watt. I kept turning down the power, and he could still hear me. That was fun.
I chase small signals on the waterfall, and look for a few seconds of signal, then nothing, like someone calling cq. If I hit a good one when they are getting started, I have a good chance of getting them. I just wish I could hear better.

Quoted: Does anyone have experience with this QRP amp? Had one - never used it - sold it. Does that count?

Good for you! While QRP is a lot of fun, it's nice to be able to flip the switch for 100 Watts.
FULL DISCLOSURE: About half of my QSOs are uner 5 Watts. Often during the SKCC and SST contests, I'll "jump the pond" while pumping 5 Watts into my dipoles. |

OP is on the lam for robbery! |

I can relate, while working CW on 30 Meters* I happened to get a QSO with fellow in OK. He was saying how there was usually a 'pipe line' between our QTHs. I had the KX3 on the bench and the lowest I could set the TX output was 50 mW. It worked!
73, Rob * I meant 30 Meters, not 10 mHz, 10 mHz to Oklahoma from here would be short skip. |

Just wanted to come back to the thread and post a photo. This amp works perfectly with the Icom 705. I’ve used it heavily for the past few days running FT8 on several bands.
