Hi again!
Oh boy, 2 questions for the group in 2 days for me!
Does anyone have any experience with Telewave Antennas, like their 4 or 8 pole on 2 meters? They seem to be priced right up there with DB.
I love the 44 Wattmeter, but I've never played with the antennas.
Thanks, Brian, WD9HSY

That depends on which Aux Output you program to be TOR. But that still
doesn't change the fact that you can't control encoded tone once the
transmitter has come up. Sorry but not even Dean can change that :-)

Much of what happens directly relates to the battery condition and

And the design is one of the best methods for this
type antenna. Antennex has also lifted the feed
method for some uhf beams I've seen. Look for other
antenna mfgrs to start using the same feed method
over time. Lots of bandwidth, true dc ground, simple
construction and a low relative cost.
