Looked at them real hard at Dayton last May.  Talked to the SGC people
at length.
It is a real small amp!  They said "sure, you can leave it keyed up
for an hour at full power - no problem".
But it is single band .... If I remember right it was about $300 a
band after you get the first Mini Lini.   Somehow the thing sounds too
good to be true!
And their response to "would you like it field tested from another
country?  As in a mini DXpedition?" was a smirk, a mild laugh and a
"no".
