[TowerTalk] Testing A3S Traps

[Rob Matherly, W0JRM]

Hi All - 

I have a disassembled A3S that I'm putting up. I'm 90% positive the
traps are OK, but I would prefer to test them before assembly. I read on
using my MFJ 259 analyzer with a resistor to test the resonance.
However, I notice in the A3S manual that there are seprate traps for 15m
driven and reflective. How would I verify that these traps are on the
right element? Would one have a different frequency response?
