the technology is available elsewhere they want it examined in order to

Hello Tim,
I have the same problem here in Europe. Everybody making a zoo on the

Maybe some operators in Europe read this and
Hi Rich,
Technically the coax is the same. It's the same brand, Intercom, and model,
2482 RG-58C/U, coax. Had about 13 feet or so rolled in a coil so I cut it
and made two pieces, one for 144 the other for 440. BNC's on both ends.
The only difference now is the length is a little longer, by

What do you have against the anritsu equipment I used to counter the
2.65dB claim?

when I checked the calibration it was within a tenth of a dB.

Hi All,
Fairly new at all this and
I believe I hit something wrong in my CAT menu for AO-07 and changed the

What are the proper values for the Doppler file now for it to properly
track.
Thanks

I don't know about other rotators...I'm using the G-5500.
The GS-232A computer interface is ridiculously expensive...more than the
G-5500. I've been using the Fox Delta ST2...it has worked flawlessly for me
and it was less than $100 assembled (but not including an enclosure)
