Thanks Michelle as always.

73, me

Closeup of the ATU meter:

TheLegacy: Please let me know if this is the same one. I listen to our LPFM on it and I was very pleased with the sound. Nighttime AM reception was phenomenal.

Hi Mark,  It sounds very good especially considering the size.  Like I said, it’s a Sony. LOL!

Based on the appearance, it utilizes clock oscillators that throw spurs all over the place. Rich F: what’s your take?

First of all you have no idea how I am going to install this. We all understand the rules and the manual is very clear on this. Are you going to sleep nights knowing that the extender will be mounted on a fence post about 4 feet above ground. Please stop these unsolicited comments to the same crowd you’ve been preaching to for the last several…[Read more]
