Re: Topband: Info on modding 4 el HI-Z to 3 el HI-Z wanted

2018-11-30 Thread Lee STRAHAN
Hello Kevin,
   You would need to get a shack switch for the 3 element array and a phase 
controller for the three element. All the rest would retrofit just fine except 
you would have to contact me about the proper phase delay line to use with the 
three. Contact me directly if you need more information.

Anyone have any info? I have a 4 el unit but can only (maybe) accommodate a 3el 
triangle on my property. W hat would have to be done to the controller box 
etc.?

Steve, 

I haven't used the HI-Z 2 element or the JK system. I do have both the HI-Z 3 
and 8 element arrays. I find them both invaluable on 160 and 80. They do work 
on the higher bands as well, I usually use my triangular for 20M & up but I 
have only vertical antennas, no tribander. 

I can say that on a given 160 & 80 DX
signal, the 8 usually hears better than the 3 but not always, the 3 sometimes 
gets the best copy but always better by far than the sloper on 160 & INV-L on 
80. 

You'll never find better support than you get from HI-Z. 

73,
