So true! I sat down last night and built a couple more matching transformers. I had none to spare before I left, so now I'm back up numbers. They're easier to make in bulk, it seems! 73,...Walt On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > A matching transformer might have helpe

A matching transformer might have helped Walt, though a separate ground on the antenna side would help further. A ground rod in your luggage might raise questions also, hi. best wishes, Nick At 07:15 24-01-16, Walt wrote: That was my mistake. A 30 ' random wire fed into the SDR IQ yielde

Once again, congratulations Gary, better nulling than the 100mm length one, but somewhat larger diameter, is that correct? How does the weight and balance vs. the PL-380 compare? Amazing stuff to be sure. best wishes, Nick At 13:40 23-01-16, Gary wrote: Hello All, The first of the new ha
