Nope.....I saw the same thing, looked up the product on their site and saw that
it was limited on 6M. Clearly stated on the website. NOT in the print ads,
tho. Caveat Emptor, and read the fine print. Always best to do some research
before buying. Maybe a comment such as "Warning" would be better than "bad
advert."

My nickel's worth.

I know of one person who bought it via catalog. He didn't know of it's
limitations because he doesn't have internet access.

Good point. The folks at HRO (think it was them I had asked) did tell me that
6M was limited wattage....and you're right...this is something which SHOULD be
made more clear in the ads. Have you emailed LDG directly (and add in the eHam
comments URL for emphasis)? The LDG folks are darn good, and an asset to the
ham community...doubt they'd want to alienate a portion of their customer base.

BTW, a friend uses one to "tweak" his Moxon, esp. for AM and FM ops. Says is
works well at 100W hooked to the DX70TH, but the antenna VSWR is not very far
off even at 52.XXX for repeaters. Try emailing LDG directly.

My Z-100 is noticeably lossy on 6m and I usually bypass it on known good
6m antenna anyway.
