With SSTRAN sponsorship I don’t know if I’m about to make an undesirable entry here but…..Is anyone using this transmitter?

With SSTRAN sponsorship I don’t know if I’m about to make an undesirable entry here but…..Is anyone using this transmitter? http://www.am1000rangemaster.com/index.html the Hamilton Rangemaster. Their site is claiming pretty considerable (legal) distances. The unit itself is in the $950-1000 range.
I’m curious in part because their site seems to take the tone of it being a bad plan to install these types of equipment yourself, recommending you hire a professional unless you are well versed in radio/electronics.
The site seems…oh I don’t know, loud and bragging. But the testimonials are pretty convincing.

I’ve just discovered it this weekend. I casually mentioned it to my wonderful wife of 31 years and she lit up like a chandelier. I know acting has been a dream and she sees this as an idea for a place she could practice with no risk or consquence.

For myself, it’s a lifelong gadeteer’s dream. I even gave it a shot as a youth, selling American Seeds from the back of comicbooks in order to get my first am transmitter. I didn’t stick with the antenna end of it and lost interest with the 50 foot range.

Now The idea appeals ideally…ha…wish us both luck as I work to get on the air in the next few weeks!
