Does anyone have experience of the antenna of the title, which came
with all 3 suppliers info included? I purchased it at Longleat about
5 years ago, but never got round to using it. Now trying to install
it at my friend's QTH to get him going

I've just spent a very frustrating afternoon trying to put
this thing up, and when it was up, it exhibited a resistance of
200 Ohm between coax inner and outer.

Assumption - error in soldering PL259 - no - still does it.


On 27/06/04 you posted the following:

"Apart from wave guide joiners, it is the maximum frequency of use
which is the main consideration - your N plugs are usable right down
to DC. and will, in fact, give a better DC than any banana plugs 'cos
a step function has infinite AC frequencies in it which are better
preserved by the N."

Perhaps the antenna manufacturers were following your theory, and had
introduced a 200 Ohm step-function to "better preserve the infinite AC
frequencies". HTH

Google is you friend. Unless you are a still prat like Gareth ;-)
