I get product not found!! It is probably one of those clever bits of web technology that use dynamic URLs so that they can't be passed on or linked (probably to frustrate discussion like this)! Search for 8010ABD100 on their home page. Owen Is the URL complete? wrote: The BuxComm Antenna Company sells what it calls an All Band Coax-fed Dipole. http://www.commparts.com/catalog/pro...ffad91005875fb It consists of 135 ft. of wire, a balun at the center feed point, and the RG 8X coax transmission line. I don't claim to know a whole lot about antennas, but this configuration is contrary to everything that I have read about feeding mutiband antennas. When I wrote to the company with a question about this, I received a response from K4ABT, Buck Rogers himself. He attached to his note a section from the ARRL Antenna Book, which seems to indicate that coax should not be used with this type of antenna if one wants to use it as a multibander. I have a lot of respect for Buck, based on his years of Elmering a lot of us through his articles. But this one has me stumped. Any input will be appreciated. -- |
