You're not missing a thing, Jim. This emperor has no clothes. And it's $900! 73, Jim K9YC What am I missing here ? Appears to be 2 turns through 6 x type 31 cores. These are standard 2.4 inch OD core
It looks like more turns would be possible in that enclosure. I am curious why costs $900. John KK9A What am I missing here ? Appears to be 2 turns through 6 x type 31 cores. These are standard 2.4 i
...and this device (choke) would give you over 30 dB attenuation from 1 to 30 MHz!! I'm definetely missing something!! How can this kind of advertising be allowed? I'm no expert but I've made a few c
Not defending this at all but... there shouldn't be any, or close to no attenuation. It's a short length of high quality coax. Since they claim it's built to customer specifications, and they don't q

Some years ago I noticed an advert in QST by the purveyor of a soundcard interface that claimed it could allow FSK RTTY through your soundcard! Of course this was AFSK and clearly, the advert took ad

QST also exposed the so call Max-Com balun that claimed when hooked to a dipole (length not specified) it would give less than 2:1 from 1.8 to 30 Mhz. And they were correct since that's what it did.
Hell all, I think I agree with Wes. How else do you show a prospective customer how it is built and quality of the parts used. Since it's 'built to order', there would not be one in stock to open up
I've been trying to divine a defence for this box, but can't. If I read K9YC's choke cookbook correctly, there's no way this could achieve the level of broadband choking claimed. Moreover, not only i

I have to throw this out there and its not directed at any one individual - Jay at Array Solutions is a straight shooter - I do not think he'd do something to intentionally mislead someone and/or tak
Absolutely not. The way I read the data presented, it's all about input match, which says absolutely nothing about the common mode impedance, which is the actual choking mechanism. Return loss, SWR,
I've known Jay at a distance for a while, and while we don't get along, I strongly agree with your assessment. Jim Thompson's original post was cross-posted to the Amps reflector, and Jay responded t
Is there any chance this is an April Fool's joke? Chris The unit is optimized for the 11m folks like I thought. Hence the 26.980 mhz marker on the screen. Kelly, return loss is just another way of ex
Just a side note, but I wouldn't be so quick to advertise that I sell components to those who violate Federal Law. 73, Dick, W1KSZ _______________________________________________ ____________________
Hi all, I know Jay Terleski and Array Solutions and like Gary - K9RX I agree AS's products are not cheap but they are well built, and I have not yet heard them called a scam outfit. AS does serve ham
seriously? There are amps that are sold all-day-long that will easily do 3 even 4 or more thousand watts! The statement when advertised for sale as "used" that says "to a dummy load" as if they think
This was Array Solutions response to this on the AMPS reflector. What your missing Jim is this is a Balun for the band below 10m 8o) [Ed Note: 11 meters] Where the real ampllifiers are used. We sell
Why won't PTFE coax with a tan jacket hold up outdoors? John KK9A And when you criticize the enclosure and believe it is unnecessary, you're wrong; the outer jacket on that coax would last about 15 m
