I'm wo...Yeah, it's a pretty neatt program.<br /><br />I'm working on getting the M2 EB-144 2 Meter Eggbeater with my "spare" SSB Electronic preamp installed today.<br /><br />I cleaned it up, treated the connections with some Penetrox, and swept it with and without the radial kit, and man, is that thing <i>flat</i> over the entire 2 Meter band.<br /><br />Almost made me think something was wrong with it until I swept it outside the band, where it looked more normal.<br /><br />It also looks like it will work very well for the 137 MHz NOAA APT weather satellites.<br /><br />The preamp has helical bandpass filters built in to it, so I'll probably have to turn it off for wxsat use.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-29978100176573376332013-11-28T10:32:22.125-08:002013-11-28T10:32:22.125-08:00Thanks for link on HDSDR - I think I need to play ...Thanks for link on HDSDR - I think I need to play with that.
