>From DX Engineering's manual for the RBS-1P Reversible Beverage System manual:
"The antenna ladder-line is connected between the feed point and reflection units observing the polarity between the units. The + side of the ladder line on the feed point unit should be connected to the + side of the reflection unit. Since you may be twisting the ladder line along its length, correct polarity should be verified using a meter. An incorrect connection will result in poor front-to-back ratio or sensitivity." It is my understanding that W8JI designed the RBS-1P. It would be interesting to hear his comments on this paragraph. 73, Ken - K4XL On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 12:43 PM, Bob Eldridge <[email protected]> wrote: > 1. It could be a convenient accident. > 2.
