farm)
 but I very much appreciate you correcting the website and honesty Tim.

Hello Mike

The website has been updated - 10 and 15 meters are not available, I am very
sorry.

We will continue to work on this project and I hope we will find a good
solution that works well

Hi Tim and thank you for weighing in.

 

I just got my ACB-15 going this week and hope to work your big M/M station
on 15m with it next weekend.

 

So, on a lark, I just checked your website and see ACB-10's apparently now
in stock and for sale, so please set the record

straight.  Are these for sale or no?

 

For the record for anyone reading this, I was told by your staff (nicely)
that after waiting many months, they were NLA.

 

Tnx, Mike VE9AA

There is a reason DX Engineering/Comtek does not sell Comtek 4 square boxes 

above 14 MHz. The inductor and capacitor values are very low and losses can
be 

a real problem. We are still trying - but it is not as easy as dividing down


the values. Believe me - we tried.
