 I know Matt reads this yahoogroup.  Maybe he will chime in and

  Yes, the DB420's (in omni configuration) came with the top four pairs rotated 
90-degrees from the bottom four. A DB-408 (in omni configuration) alternated 
the rotation for each element pair. It also shows this way in the photos in the 
catalog.

On most of the ones I've seen, the model numbers were the same for both 
models.
All of the elements can be rotated 90 or so deg if you want, but these are 
ones that came form the factory that way. ?

So what does For Export Only mean, they won't ship to a foreign country.

reason, the device is not meant to be sold OR USED in the USA.
 
  I see this all the time on medical equipment. If they put it thru the FDA and
got approval, it can be sold and used in the USA. If they didn't, it's not.

That language used to be included (along with a nod and a wink) for CB 
equipment which was too powerful or frequency-agile to be used legally in the 
US, yet was made available to US buyers.

Ramsey Electronics similarly disclaims broadcast-band equipment which exceeds 
power limits for legal Part 15 operation:

Joe,

I hope you do not need that much power to align 'water heaters, ie.
cavities.  

I use a 20 or 40 Db in line CATV amplifier. It does not seem to mind
working at 50 ohms. Covers from 50 - 550 mhz.

[Repeater-Builder] UHF Motorola MCX 100 info.

2009-01-01 Thread John Everson
Hello to the group.

Has anyone used the MCX 100 as a link radio? I had a friend burn a 
couple of proms for the frequency and pl, now I just need to dig up 
some locations for the signals in and out of the radio. The ptt, audio 
in and out seem simple enough. Does anyone have any shortcuts for the 
pl and cos logic? Also, I did not receive any cables with the radios I 
obtained, does this radio share cabling with any other radios? 

These things seem pretty sturdy and I thought they would make a good 
choice for linking.

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all.
