Mike,
It's your bud from Dayton. I will make this comment: I have modeled 160 rx
antenna systems, Hi-Z 4 square and 8 Circle on EZNEC with the NEC-4 engine.
Anything closer than 200 feet with a 160 tx antenna results in severe
pattern distortion. Also measured +3 to +20 dBm coming into the K3 rx port
depending on direction. I would imagine DXE arrays would be similar.
YMMV.

I have used the HI Z rx system and also the DXE ones. HI Z said in the
past no need for a sequencer to get power off the amps if the xmit ant was
close to the rx system antennas. Close I would say 60 foot. DXE has always
suggested using a sequencer to get power off the amps during xmit. I am
going to be forced to move a DXE system within 65 ft or so of my 160
vertical and wonder if anyone has had any experience of using the DXE
without a sequencer close to their xmit antenna. Just hate to install one
more thing I could get around but will if absolutely necessary. I know
moving it closer is not an ideal situation but you do what you have to. Any
input? 73 Mike K4PI _________________ Topband Reflector Archives -
