Quoted: Couldn't you do the same with a cb and a 100 Watt LNA? For more cheeper?

Well... yes and no. CBs operate on the 11 meter band only. You could get that kind of signal out with an lna, but it is illegal, it's bad enough we have the ATF to deal with, the FCC is a different ball park. And you give it away that you are using an amp for the CB, because anyone listening to your signal will hear an echo or ringing.
This sucker operates on all bands, which gives you flexibility for making the best out of conditions, sunspots, temperature, time of day, everything has an impact on signal propogation, much like ballistics.
Can't do morse code, radio teletype, packet, APRS on cb either without modifications as well, which would be a waste of time and energy.
