Why didn't you call his superviosr and report him? You can make complaints about law enforcement officers and they will usually contact them and tell them to cool it. I called in about a deputy sheriff one time as he had his unrestrainted son in the back seat of an unmarked car, and he stopped

You could scale the part values into a low band range. The Z matcher is a pi section filter/tuner/match circuit with a diode sampling line section built in. You could find the scaled values for 6 meters in a lot of different ARRL Publications. skipp Robin Midgett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

That's odd... all solar charge controllers worthy of the name include a low-voltage disconnect as an essential feature, so there's no need for a separate device. Was this a jury-rig? 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL
