If you are experiencing consistently low voltage from excessive cable run
resistance, you'd be better to consider a Variac or a buck-boost transformer
at the station. Either of these options are significantly less expensive
than a CVT and wont generate the heat and humming noise that CVT;'s do when
they are making up for lost voltage. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=-
