Petr,

        I understand your concern. I doubt that W&S will sell very
many (perhaps none?) at this price. 100 watts is not much power at
this frequency and 690 GBP (827 Euro) is a lot of money for this TX.
In any case a ham would have to build the antenna and obtain a means
to measure swr - there is still work to do even if you don't build the
transmitter.
 Ropex was hampered by having a single crystal controlled frequency
and the crystal was relatively hard to change - BUT it was much
cheaper that the TX-2200a!
