Gary, This is a pretty neat little Industrial Scientific and Medical band transceiver. (adf7020). Sells for three bux. Problem is the package. Hence the dev board. Tend to agree if they sell, just buy. Problem is usually it's just reel quantity. I will have a little fun asking for a sales rep on Mon.. Sparkfun's website introduced me to the fine art of skillet reflow. I absolutely wish my wife would let me do that in the kitchen. Not single anymore.. Norm
