I found this on ebay, I would like a labby with >75 mW, does anybody know if this is the same one as DX has for ~$60?  :  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...item=120225312532&_trksid=p3984.cWAT.m240.lVI

Yup, it's the same one from dx, the circuit board has the same components as the 35mW one:

Why? I think, with some luck, one may get one with 75 to 100 mW!  They even say it will go ~40 to 80!

Re: Found on ebay, anyone know?

why would they rate it as 15mw when DX rates them at 35mw?

DX doesn't have time t double check their stuff, imagine the equipment just for testing they would have to carry if they did.

Well I just gotta see what it can do so I ordered one.  I think for $46 shipped, if this unit goes continous with over 20 mW I will find it useful and well priced!

[highlight]EDIT: Boy was it! Came at over 50 mW and no duty cycle![/highlight]

Re: Found on ebay, anyone know?

Yes! dar303, I got it, it seems it was a definate case of under promise and over deliver!  It came in an ESD plastic bag with a label which stated 50 mW, (although sold as a 15 mW). I think at the adjustment it was then set at as rec'd, output seems was >50 by a comfortable margin.  I don't want to kill this beauty, so I have yet to but slightly budge the pot.  90+ is a hot beam and lights up matches at ~2 feet.  If I get a little more sure of myself, I think I'll try to push it to just over 130 mW, that would outdo my Nova X105 that Sawt_al_Hurriyah sold me!

[highlight]Great luck for my first purchase of a labby![/highlight]
