If you're talking about the PC-Electronics ATV transmitter, I can give you
a quick review.  I like it.  It works as expected, and has plenty of versa-
tility to meet most needs.  The licensing requirements are indeed amateur
technician class or higher, since it uses (large) portions of the 70cm band
(440 MHz). They also have models that operate on 902-928 (along with all of
those cussed Part 15 transmitters) and 1240-1300 MHz.
