Doesn't do well on digital modes Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This kit is fine if you are using it for SSB only. It handled 1000 watts on all resonant bands just fine. However when I used it for FT8 at 200 watts the ferrite overheated and failed. Now it won't hold a tune for more than a few seconds before the reflected power starts going through the roof. It failed on 20 meters with an SWR of about 2.2. Given the rating of 1500W PEP, I think it should have held up for longer than it did.
