    Actually several other XA owners told us that theirs were identical to 
the test antenna. 

    FYI any XA that came out of KLM once they moved to Washington State was 
suspect since they made wholesale aluminum substitutions that created problems. 
They couldn't get the parts from their suppliers because they didn't pay them 
so they shipped anything they had in stock that was close.

    Sure. Get us a KT36XA and we'll be happy to include it in our next round 
of tests.
