Please also note that most amplifiers like the one referenced below are 
not compliant with the FCC Part 97 rules (which require FCC 
certification of all external amateur amplifiers, built or kit, that are 
offered for commercial sale ) and are not legal to sell into the U.S.  
Many also do not meet amateur harmonic emissions standards.

We are required to design to the FCC rules and to receive their official 
certification prior to sale.

Of course it is legal to buy these foreign amps as far as I can tell.

73,
