[TowerTalk] Topband: Broadside vs end-fire phasing of RX ants: MFJ-1026?

[VE6WZ_Steve]

Hi Rich,
I used the MFJ 1026 (I had 2 of them) and also used the NCC-1.
I used them to phase various antennas including my en-echelon Beverage pair which were fed with CAT5 instead of RG-6.
They worked just fine.  The NCC-1 is a more refined box, perhaps a bit less noise, but at my city QTH I really didn't notice much difference.

I can't use either now at the remote.

Steve, ve6wz
