Wow, the famous 'cigar' antenna. At that price you can afford to play with it.

Has anyone tried one of the itfs mmds downconverters like this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110523087399&ssPageName=S TRK:MEWNX:IT for ao-51 s band downlink? 75 ohm out and looks cheesey but less than $30 shipped. it's cheap enough for me to play so I bought one to experiment with, maybe just to remove the downconverter. I would welcome stories of your experience or just advice. Thanks John, kn4ge _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
