[TowerTalk] What am I missing....balun

[StellarCAT]

I have to throw this out there and its not directed at any one individual - 
Jay at Array Solutions is a straight shooter - I do not think he'd do 
something to intentionally mislead someone and/or take advantage of their 
naiveté ... if truly interested I'd suggest he is contacted and given an 
opportunity to answer any questions re this or any other part they sell.

I'd absolutely not suggest he or AS is in the business of false advertising.

[I have no connection to AS - although I do think they charge stiff prices 
for items I would have to also say that everything they sell is very well 
built!]

Hell all,

I think I agree with Wes.

How else do you show a prospective customer how it is built and quality
of the parts used.  Since it's 'built to order', there would not be one
in stock to open up for pictures.

Years and years ago, furniture salesmen would have smaller exemplar
pieces available furniture.  I have a love seat that is better suited
for 6 year olds.  Easy to carry and small to store and transport.

I would expect this may be the answer to the 'do-nothing' choke.
