Hello,
I am trying to set up a DX Engineering receiving antenna phasing box
but there appears to be something wrong with it and I need to
troubleshoot it. The manual I have does not have a schematic for it.
If anyone has one I'd appreciate getting a copy. I'll cover postage
etc.
Thanks 73
Rob
I am happy to report that after several years of not hearing a peep from
Europe - G4ERZ was coming through last night. This is a very positive sign
that conditions on 160 meters are starting to to recover from the sunspot
peak. His signal appeared to have long QSB - but was "arm chair" copy on

update: I just received an email, perhaps a canned response from DX
Engineering telling me they won't give me a schematic. In addition,
rather than work with me to find the problem, they only offer their
repair service. I am very disappointed in this after spending over
$1000 over the past two
Rob,
I just looked at my NCC-1 manual. No schematic.
It seems odd they wont provide one. I wonder what their
reason is ? I would give them a call.
I may call them myself, I am contemplating the purchase of the
new model but would like a schematic
I like your callsign :-)

I just finished speaking with Tim K3LR on the land line with regard to
my problem We had a cordial conversation and I must say in all the
years I have been a ham, I have never had the president of a company
immediately call me to address my concerns and problems with a
product. I am confident wh
Because it's considered propriety information. You paid for a black box that
does what it says it will. You did not pay for the why or how it works. This
is not unusual business practice. You bought a car with dozens of black
boxes in it, do you have schematics to those?

I have always found DXE customer service to be excellent!
I have connection to the company.

Tim is an outstanding ham and a super nice guy, but he unfortunately
inherited the "no schematic" DXE policy when he took his job. He does his
best to provide customer support, which I appreciate, but there's not much
he can do about changing the policy, which customers have complained about

Jeff,
Good point. !

I hope hams are not becoming strictly black box users. I also hope that there
isn't a parallel being made between a licensed ham buying a piece of amateur

I recently replace my MFJ RX antenna phasing units with a DX Engineering
NCC-1 and find it well worth the money There is a vast improvement in
the phasing controls instead of MFJ's tiny knobs. they give full
rotation and a phase reversal switch on either antenna which can be
employed instantly

Oh, a time ago I considered to buy the NCC-1. My final "NO" decision was caused
by the "no schematic" policy or "Proprietary information" balast (also know as
a Trade Secret). I will never buy such product although there are many. I
believe that such "Trade Secret" can put both the seller and th
This is a blatant attempt to keep this thread from getting too far out of

Martin, its all about reputation and DX-Engineering has the best. Back
in the 80's some periodicals were marketing the MaxCom baluns which

I have used the RTR-1 from DXE for many years. Flawless performance.

Thanks to the 15 or so hams who contacted me offline to assist with this
issue. The resolution:
1. The RTR-1A units are working fine (no surprise there)
2. It is NOT operator error (BIG surprise there)
After some more research on different message boards, and a great discussio
Friday morning at 1041z, about 10 minutes before sunrise, JA9FHB called in
for our first JA QSO of the season. Another JA9 called right after but
unfortunately we did not complete that QSO.
Nice to hear the band alive!

Hi guys,
I hope you will forgive me for adding to a thread that the moderator has
requested be shut down, but all the traffic on this happened around 2 AM
while I was in bed.
My own view is that anyone intending to make a business in the field of
amateur radio needs to understand the domain
