O'Brien, it was done in 2015-16 at another place & really top specs, sorry to cool your enthusiasm, but truth can ve painful.
Norden Millimeter + Norsat joint + Sage Millimeter + whatever co. are not advertising much such basics, AmpliTech makes a big deal of yesterday's market demands. I do wish AmpliTech success, but can't lie & paint it "feel-good rosey" either, while reality is "it was done" years ago & at prices/performance ratio hard to beat by AmpliTech, I actually know ALL front-end devices in those competing LNB's (LowNoise Blocks taking SatCom freq, BDC it & eventually modulate 5GHz carrier for WiFi in-flight. It's year 2019, wake up... no longer hot/new. Ironically, key front-end pHEMT's are produced not far from here WestCoast, their CEO's come by & chat often, also Japan not far... I swear Fawad's secret dream, obviously, isn't to help you average/little investor, but to up value of company to SELL it so he'd retire nucely &/or start a new one after 2-3 years of NCA (non-compete agreement vs. own sold Corp.) In this regard, he's like most every CEO of such small sized company that isn't growing rapidly enough (18 years since 2001, 20 years since its predecessor AmpluComm), best hope is someone buying whole company when owner loses interest in it, meanwhile he's trying Inorganic growth (thru acquisitions) but you've seen how it's going... someone named Nick in 2010-2011, Mind Technilogies, MicroPhase, flirting w/x-Miteqs from L3... while years, decades of life pass by.
If he suddenly sells AmpliTech, while it sails higher, don't be surprised b/c Recession seems tobe on horizon (economy can't expand forever, it's cyclical) and like houses in 2008, selling while high might be reasonable. But I maybe (& hopefully) dead wrong. Just ponderung, possibilities.
