Looks good. I just got my amp cable to go from the 705 to Mercury amp. Now I just need the amp (haha) Thanks for the video

It should work great for you. I didn't have the cable for the 705. Did the quick vid just to show that it works. I think you will really like the amp they work great. 73's

Wonderful video and thanks for the inspiration! I have a 705 and have been looking at a larger than QRP option so your video came just at the right time. I also another 5-Watter, the ELAD FDM-DUO, and the Mercury IIIS seems to be an even better match for the shack. I would love to hear any other thoughts you may have since you released the video. Thanks again!

Just change the 10dB Flange Attenuator to a 3dB (maybe 10-15USD on Ebay) and you will get the max output easy with less then 5W from your 705. The Gain of this LDMOS is +/- 25dB and only restricted because of this stupid 15dB max gain FCC rule
