I haven't done it, Ron. Looks like a recipe for disaster, though, depending on what "field" means. If it means operating in the backyard on the patio furniture with the XYL trotting out beer, it might be OK. Operating in the RAIN, in a TENT, at NIGHT from Pulpit Rock...mmmm, not so much. The standoffs between the RF board and the ATU are a pain, as you undoutedly know. You just KNOW your going to lose one of them or strip some threads or bend some of those very long header pins. The possibilities for disaster are infinite.
When 80 is the band of choice, it's Nature's way of saying, "Hit the sack, Ron. 20 will be open tomorrow."

Have the 2 band board made for 80 & 17 meters and the 4 band board made for 40, 30, 20 & 15 meters. Then swap them out in the field. Just wondering. 72 and Thanks, Ron Polityka WB3AAL www.wb3aal.com www.n3epa.org/ K1 - SN 01011 K2 - SN 01392 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
