Hi Steve:
Traps have almost gone the way of dinosaurs.........if you want to buy em'
.... I don't think the W2DU/AU....Rondilla/Reyco Div. traps are as readily
available as they once were. You might try AES........What you need is trap
part
number KW-40, resonant about 7.150.
My personal preference?...............Coax traps. They are free for the
winding and everyone has a piece of PVC pipe in their garage to use as a coil
form!
Suggest you take a look at the following QST article:
"Optimizing Coax Cable Traps" by Robert C. Sommer
This article appeared in December, 1984.
Or, you can find several programs that will design coax traps 4 U on some of
the ham Websites....
FWIW, I use coax traps wound out of RG-58U at legal limit with my Alpha
87A.........no problemo'
Hope to C U AGN at Dayton this year.........looking forward to the antenna
forum!
