... Also, is the DG8SAQ VNWA pretty much the same principle, or will it also assess transfer functions? What is inside that VNWA? Is it true that it relies on harmonics for UHF operation? |

Don't let the troll fool you. Most people over here understand English royalty, and respect them. We don't go crazy over them - that we reserve for the likes of Lady Gaga. But we don't think them at all silly. But a few people think anything and anyone different is archaic and silly - and try to convince you that's the norm here. It definitely isn't. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry Stuckle ================== |
