Jim,
I have a Truetime XL-AK and have tried several 5 volt antennas with it
including the little square magnetic ones. They all worked OK as long as
they were outside. I did find a $30 imported bullet on ebay that I am using
now. Since I installed the bullet last winter I have had no dropouts. But
then it is mounted higher and in the clear. I think almost 5 volt antenna
would work for you as long as it has a reasonable look at the sky.
The XL-AK does measure current to the antenna but other than a short or
an open I don't know what its limits are to be happy.
Al, k9si
I picked up one of these from the usual site, and it is supposed to be
in working condition. I wonder if someone may have a suitable antenna
for it I might acquire, or a pointer to one that will work.
It is the type with a 5v amplifier in it from what I was told, and is
working.
I have the manual, but it doesn't mention anything but "bullet" antenna
as far as the one to be used with the unit or the optional
downconverter. Multiple discussions are in the list archive about that
requiring switch settings, but I have only found a user manual for the
RS232 interface online for this unit.
thanks
Jim
