Thanks to everyone for the replies. It turns out that the whole thing
no longer matters. The idea was to use the rig to activate a nearby
relay, based off of an old, re-programmed Motorola Minitor-II two-tone
paging reciever. However, I'm having some issues triggering the pager,
so the project is scrapped.

Thanks to all for the advice. When I place my next order from one of
the dealers, I'll buy a good dummy load in case I ever need it again.

Bruce - yes, I'm sure it was covered somewhere. But I was more worried
about getting the numbers and formulas and physics for the test, and
had no problem remembering the 'easy' stuff...when taking a test at
least.


Based on what you're saying, I have a hunch what are you trying to do, is
test the Minitor with a 2 meter rig? I am betting you were using a "PL" tone
to try to open it up to receive. Not sure what you know about Minitor IIs,
but there are probably no less than 2 reeds in it. A "single" tone, won't do
it. And you couldn't possibly switch tones fast enough to make it work. It
is milliseconds of a difference. If you'd like some help with the Minitor
II, give me a yell privately. I repair them all the time.
