For the part of the question before the "such as"..... Yes, you certainly can phase two reversibles, but you won't be able to do it unless you can insure that a "top" and "bottom," or + and - , or brand and no brand wire are used the SAME or electrically verified on both beverages. >From a commercial product standpoint and writing KISS instructions, knowing that a customer may buy two of them and phase them, without notifying the installation manual writer or the manufacturer, I would certainly write the instructions with a plus and minus in them, and that as straightforward and simple as possible, so that if the same instructions are used for both, then phasing occurs without any outcome other than what the length of feedlines, combiners and physical placement would dictate. Make sure that RTFM works. Not to do so will cost profits, both in irritated customers who say your stuff isn't worth sh*t, regardless that it's their fault, and paying someone overtime to deal with MORE customers over the phone who can't get it right. That explains W8JI's text, to me at any rate. To the second half of your sentence.... Whether reversibles perform WELL in any phasing situation you can conjure up, just depends on the dang details and the ugly modeling math that no one (including me) wants to do on a given day. 73, Guy _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
