- My IC-746PRO does not have a receive antenna port, so last season I had to manually flip an antenna switch between xmit and rcv antennas. (Yes, I know, I need to resolve that situation, one way or an

- Thanks to half a dozen of you that replied. I put a good DX Engineering 470 Ohm bev resister across the two terminals, and tested with an MFJ-259B. To my surprise, all 4 transformers tested fine! (R

- For a standard, single-wire terminated Beverage, I read recently (either here or TowerTalk) about using 2 4-5' ground rods, but I didn't understand if that was at the feedpoint or at the termination

- The IC-746PRO has a known history of getting xmit failures. The PA dies completely, out of the blue, and requires a fix and mod. The earlier units (serial # 03351(?)) were especially prone. Some guys

- I'm improving the grounding on my Beverages -- using 2 4' rods at the feed and endpoint of each. However, one of them (single-wire, terminated) ends at a point where the ground is very rocky. I can o
