Topband: NCC-1 Phaser

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

I did reverse cables constantly on the MFJ but the operations was always 
troublesome and time consuming with the 1026. The DXE NCC-1 operation is 
smooth and with the large phasing know obtaining nulls on much more 
reliable.  From what Ii have been to do with two major DX-peditions on 
160 in phasing RX Beverages to me there is no comparison.  Although the 
NCC-1 is a bit expensive I have come to the conclusion that it is worth 
every penny.
