antenna dimensions and save them in the controller's memory.  They also
make the antenna available as a basic dipole, a basic 3-element, or even
more elements, if you wanna work with their guys to make it happen.

As far as not having adjustable spacings between the elements, the answer I
got was yes and no... you can configure the beam manually (like, when you
assemble it), but as far as having different element spacings later, well,
it's no different from your TH3 or TA33... it's the same a compromise
there.  What you CAN do is retract an element to a non-functional length,
and just use it as a 2-el, or even as a dipole.

In all, it's a slick idea, and the mechanism worked very well at the
display.  If I had a fountain of money, I'd dip some out and mount ten or
so of these elements on a 50-foot (Telrex-like) boom, network the
controller to my PCs, and spend some quality time with an antenna program
to make a bunch of configurations for everything up through 2m... take down
the 6-el 6m Telrex, and find a new home for the TH3SR... and start enjoying
massive monobanders...
