My experience has been just the opposite of Jim's. I have seven each of the 419's purchased at various times. All have been used extensively in a contesting environment of multi-multi, both modes simultaneously.
No failures. Absolute perfect performance. No complaints. YMMV.

There was general agreement that while ICE filters "work," they are rather prone to fail at their rated 100W power levels, and everyone who said they owned them reported failures. I've had two such failures in the two years that I've owned two of them. Quality control is also poor -- of four single-band filters and two 419's that I bought, all arrived out of alignment. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
