These are short verticals. HI-Z AL24. I'll ask about turnoff delay when I call DXE tomorrow.

If they do, there is a fair chance the caps may hold the preamp on long enough for it to suffer damage. But, I am wondering why you are using preamps at HF at all? Unless the feedlines are extraordinarily long and you are talking 15 or 10 meters. We use a NCC-1 here with the main and "sense" antennas 200 or 300 feet from the shack, on 160, 80, and 40 meters, with no problems. Careful use of the NCC-1's internal adjustable attenuators has solved any gain differential issues so far. - Jim, KL7CC > On 1/24/2015 1:17 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > I'm getting ready to add a RX array which includes remote preamps and an > NCC-1 phasing unit. > > I'm planning on sending PTT to the NCC-1 which will in turn kill power to > the preamps.
