Larry, the obvious would be to call Sinclair and ask them....you might also contact Bob VE3BFM at www.mapleleafcom.com he used to work for Sinclair and might have the answer for you.
Maybe it's part of the matching network and they forgot to stuff it inside.... :-)) 73 John VE3AMZ ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 12:27 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] New Sinclair 2M Antenna Question | We just purchased a new Sinclair 2-Meter Collinear antenna for our 2-Meter | Repeater to replace a similar Celwave "Stationmaster" antenna that was | about 14 years old (turns out we probably really didn't need to, it still | looks almost brand new). | | The new Sinclair 2-Meter antenna arrived (ordered for our 2-Meter channel) | and we found a second cable going into the base of the antenna. There's the | main antenna connector, and there's also a short length of what appears to | be RG-142 cable, hanging out and going nowhere. We've worked with many of | these "Stationmaster" type collinear antennas for many years, but have | never seen anything like this. The instruction sheet and frequency sweep | don't mention anything about this loose cable going into the antenna. Has | anyone else seen this and know what it's for? Our dealer that we ordered it | through hasn't seen anything like this, either, and was at a loss to | explain what it might be. | | We also ordered a brand new 10dB Sinclair collinear for 440 MHz, and it | doesn't have this "extra" cable. | | LJ | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | mail2web - Check your email from the web at | http://mail2web.com/ . | | | | | | | | Yahoo!
