1. Operates from 240v - 3-phase generator on trailer pulled behind.
2. Tetrode-with-handles tube using a mesh filament.
3. Hydraulicly raised /lowered antenna to allow passing under
bridges/overpasses.
4. Anti-corona disk at top of antenna.
However, the limiting factor when I used to run mobile of 40m during the
day was not being heard, it was mobile received noise from power lines.

14V is sucky if you want ur mobile signal to be real ducky.

>Do you consider the thermal and current trips in the Metron adequate or
