He's used it for a number of years. The problem is that it's a bit of a mechanical nightmare, with all the switches and different lengths of window line. Remember that the window line has to be separated from other conductors by a couple of line-spacings. You also don't have a lot of flexibility on how much line there is from the antenna to the first switch. If you don't QSY a lot, it's certainly doable. 73 de Jim, N2EY ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
