Jim,
Very well built. I am curious about one thing. Their write up states
that this unit
uses 4 cascaded ferrite cores. In the picture I can only see 2.
Thanks for sharing !

## It has 4 x cores in total. 2 per stack. It just isn’t readily apparent
from the pix.
However they do mention the use of 4 x cores in the write up.
## double braided teflon coax used, silver braids + center conductor.
Not shown in their pix, ( pix shows one per core assy) but on the actual
units is the use of two mounting
assys per stack, forget what they are called, very similar to whats typ used
to clamp bifilar rods to standoffs.
Sorta like a white nylon wrap around mounting strap, which is then machine
screwed down. It doesn’t
budge, even if inverted and shook.
## Plenty of mounting options on each end of the casing flange. Bolted solid,
or quick release. It’s a well
thought out piece of kit. Even though its totally enclosed, water proof, and
UV proof, and zero ventilation,
I cant see it getting hot. Both the Z + RS is sky high, through the roof on
every band.
