Not a radio guy, but have noticed that some use a second antenna, so matching to a radio/transponder (?) is not as critical, as the 'splash back' (returning energy ) is reduced by the extra antenna......Correct or Somewhat Correct?
CldLk-Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Langford" <[email protected]> Oh, and a corollary to the transponder antenna thing is don't turn on a transponder without an antenna attached, and definitely don't push the ident button without an antenna. The 200 watt pulse can kill the transponder if it has no place to go, but a long ident blast is really asking for trouble... Mark Langford N56ML "at" hiwaay.net website at http://www.N56ML.com
