[Moon-net] Opinion on this e-bay item

[Edward Cole]

Thanks for all the replies...general opinion is they are internally 
compensated and are not usable at 23cm.  At $20/each that would make 
for cheap eme at 1296 if they would work.  Apparently they will work 
nicely at 902.

I already have a 150w 902 amp so will pass on the e-bay item.

Perhaps in time the cost for 300w on 23cm will come down to a 
reasonable price.  It would be nice to just clamp a couple to the 
back of the dish and forgo the bulky 1-5/8 inch hardline run from the 
shack.  I have both a GI-7b and TH328 amp for 1296 so will run one of 
them, eventually.
