Has anyone tried one of these outfits?

I'm intrigued. It appears it can be used with NO connection to the feedline for Part 15, hence wasting no prescious power. The only reviews I can find are from hams who all seem to love it. I do have the ability to test one vs a Belar in a commercial radio setting, but maybe someone has tried one?
As modulation is very critical to sound and coverage we need a good way to determine that we're putting out what we can. I've noticed that just a slight adjustment to lower volume (hence lower modulation) makes a noticeable difference in coverage area and clarity of signal. But how far can we go before distortion moves in? It's hard to determine just listening on a radio. The quality of the radio is so much a determining factor. I'm hoping this device/computer setup might give us an accurate gauge to determine modulation.
