Nate, Thanks for the info, I have 4 or 5 clean 4076s that won't go below 444/449 and still look good separation wise. I had made a call about 6 months ago and was told the cables were all the same but the loops are slightly longer on ones spec'd in the ham band. (wonder were those notes are hmmm). I would be happy to get the details on your final measurements for cables.
73 Don Kirchner W5DK snip frequency. The slight "double-hump"/"flat-topping" at the peaks made it so we could tell it was a bit off... on a spec-an/tracking generator in the HP service monitor... so we fiddled with the center "tee" cable length to get it having nice sharp peaks, top and bottom. Basically, just getting that 1/2 wave length (including the loops, etc...) right between the output of both sides into the tee. Once we added some length to both sides with experimental connectors and extensions, we made up quality custom cables by "eyeball" of what we figured the electrical length to be after getting to them experimentally with various L-connectors and N connector extensions to the right length. used prior to them coming for a ham shack visit. But the individual cans themselves are fine down at 442/447 in the two I've now worked with. Others with more experience can pipe up with what they think of them. (Special thanks to Jeff DePolo for his comments when I was first messing with that first 4076!!! That and some local Elmering got me on the right track to use the low-pass and high-pass as "advertised" on the labels, no matter what the original pair was, or if it was "upside-down" from what I was using it for. That was a key piece of information because I had tuned it ALL wrong at first, resulting in one of the strangest looking patterns I've ever seen, trying to drag the low/high-passes the "wrong" way!) -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:nate%40natetech.com>
