I recently replace my MFJ RX antenna phasing units with a DX Engineering
NCC-1 and find it well worth the money There is a vast improvement in
the phasing controls instead of MFJ's tiny knobs. they give full
rotation and a phase reversal switch on either antenna which can be
employed instantly . By using two Beverages that are either pointed in
the same or opposite directions I can enhance the forward reception,
null out IX fro a close by local station better, or improve the F/B in
the desired direction. I use BC stations in PR and down the Caribbean
to demonstrate to myself that the the NCC-1 is a phasing properly.
Nulls are deeper and I can move them around as desired. The
construction of the unit is excellent. Yes it would be nice to have a
schematic but i can understand how this could be outsourced overseas
quickly and to the determent of the designers I like the fact that
DX-Engineering is standing by their products And that is good enough
for me.
I remember and old indisputable adage...."That which works
best....works." Who can argue with that?

I just finished speaking with Tim K3LR on the land line with regard to
my problem We had a cordial conversation and I must say in all the
years I have been a ham, I have never had the president of a company
immediately call me to address my concerns and problems with a
product. I am confident whatever is plaguing my NCC-1 will get fixed
whether it's the unit, or operator head-space.
I also received a satisfactory explanation for the policy of not
providing a schematic for the NCC-1. The repair service terms as
explained to me are quite reasonable but I hope I don't have to send
it in for repair. I certainly appreciate this fast response. Also,
I mischaracterized the service dept. email as "canned." It did have
some personalized text in it which I overlooked and I apologize for
that.
