PA570.1     
        I returned the PA5 thinking I got a faulty unit. 
             Today I received the same PA5 stating that it was tested and 
        was in fact blown. PC Electronics stated that "Therefore in our 
        opinion the customer some how exceeded the maximum 200 mW input 
        power as specified in the first paragraph of the instructions. 
        The matching circuits are all within the SAU-4 and the input and 
        output is 50 ohms. Your PA5 is returned to you un repaired. 
        Should you wish to replace the SAU-4, I suggest RF Parts (619) 
        744-0728. Tom O'Hara"
             I'm sure some Amateurs have received good quality merchan-
        dise from PC Electronics. I'm just the unlucky one that got stuck 
        with a lemon AND a company that doesn't have a quality product.
             So Amateurs BEWARE of PC Electronics as I am now out $95.01 
        plus UPS for the return. There is NO warranty as PC Electronics 
        states "ALL SALES ARE FINAL ONCE SHIPPED BY US"! Being a first 
        time buyer I should have known. But how do you test a defective 
        PA until you apply power? Due to the design and lack of quality 
        that PC Electronics stuck me with, I know who not to do business 
        with again! 
                                 Lesson learned!
