Hi Bill et al, A comment: My first NCC-1 went "down the drain" but got the updated NCC-2 a few yrs back. It is even better with sharper and stable nulls and pro PC boards which the NCC-1 did not have. Will take a short listen now. Hope you are all ok 73 Len SM7BIC

In my case the NCC-1 is invaluable because you can tune it for very high rejection of signals from the Gulf. Unfortunately lightning took out my NCC-1 and I haven't yet sent it to DXE for repair (no schematics from DXE, Tim). 73, Bill W4ZV _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
