First thing I would say is that if Rick is selling it, assume it works. I run an Eagle unit and would be glad to do comparison testing if someone would like. I have run a number of tests with the Eagle on various pieces of equipment and could repeat some of the same tests with the Amtronix unit.
The Eagle unit came in a complete kit for the HP service monitor including cables, precision load and short and two attenuators. http://www.eagle-1st.com/kits.nsf/F221!OpenFrameSet My experience with the Eagle is also tied to the RFT-1000 program / HP service monitor. http://aa9nv.r2i.net/HP8924C.htm The Eagle unit has performed flawlessly on the HP and the IFR service monitors even after traveling between DC and Wisconsin on many trips. Should buy Rick's unit and leave it up North. :) Travis AA9NV --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Don Kupferschmidt" <dkupf...@...> wrote: > > It would be nice if *someone or many* on the list would be nice to respond to > this.
