I have recently added a 2 element K1VR Spitfire to my shunt fed 100' vertical. The NE element corner is approximately 75' from one of my 4SQ elements. I noticed last night that I have no indication that the array is working on 160m. I can apply power to the array and hear no indication that the array is working. It is working fine on 80m and 40m. I am thinking that the array is now being influenced by the 2 elements of the Spitfire. I would like to test the array controller and have a RigExpert AA-54 antenna analyzer. Can I use that to inject HI and LOW signals into the array? I can also detune the new Spitfire elements and see if that changes things. I have an older 4SQ system with 80' per side spacing about 200' from the TX vertical. Any thoughts? Thank you! -- Randy Lake N1KWF 73 Gunn Rd.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <517AB002.1050009@bellsouth.net> Steve, They should work OK with the Hi-Z Triangle array, but not as good as the Hi-Z 23 ft verticals . 276" is going to hear better than 102". I have the Hi-Z 8 vertical array. It works great. 73, John, W4NU On 4/26/2013 11:59 AM, Steve Lott wrote: > I have two of the 102 inch whip active rcv antennas from DX engineering > and am contemplating getting a third and using it with the HiZ electronics > package > > Thoughts ???? > > Steve > KG5VK > _______________________________________________ > Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions mailing list > Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions at hizantennas.com > http://mail.hizantennas.com/mailman/listinfo/hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions_hizantennas.com >
