I'm gradually trimming them down & making thumbnails as time permits. The regulator was a TI (nee PowerTrends) unit, they give free samples - all I did was add a couple of caps and a bridge rectifier. I'll be sure to post a schematic when I put the page together. > (8' of heliax?? Thought it was mast mounted and didn't need more than 12" of > it?) I could have used less, but I wanted to mount the connector at the bottom of the box, and have a drip loop. Quoted loss is 0.3dB, the connectors probably lose me more. -- andyw at pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634
