Having started this thread I needs say when talking to the manufacturer while ordering my Isotron and he told me that the ground on the outside mounted Isotron was for discharging static electricity. I believe somewhere on their site they state that an indoor or apartment patio mount doesn’t require a ground. I plan to use the antenna with a PCS electronics AM Max II transmitter although I’d like to try it with my SSTRAN too. It’s on the PCS site Forum that the home made Isotron is discussed along with Isotron entries on several of their Forum threads from which one can piece together the necessary information for a home brew. As to part 15 compliance of the Model 200B, although the height is less than 3 meters, when the additional length of the capacitance caps are added the 3 meter length is exceeded. I do believe the FCC counts the capacitance cap length. JimB
