<---I knew Tom Liddy pretty well (as a matter of fact, I worked for him when he was Chief Engineer for an Alarm company in the late 70's after he left TPL). At the time, he was touted as some miracle worker with RF. Personally, I never found him to be the Wunderkind many believed he was. Personally I liked the guy but Chip Angle he wasn't <g> Anyway, I've used TPL products over the years (since his leaving the company) and have never had any more issues with them than any other amplifier, be it Henry, Mirage or whatever.
