This should do as well as a trapped dipole on the bands the dipole is tuned for and better elsewhere. You'll have to twiddle two more knobs for optimal reception but it's worth it. I'd be interested to hear your opinions of the 2010 by the way (especially the performance of the synchronous ECSS). Richard Shapiro/RSHAPIRO@BBNA -------
