The best way is to branch separate runs from a common supply point - not to daisy chain. That way each box gets the exact same voltage from your power supply. The West Mountain Rig Runner is a good way to distribute supply voltage. 73, Tim K3LR -----Original Message----- From: Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions [mailto:hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions-bounces at hizantennas.com] On Behalf Of Brian Sarkisian, KG8CO Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2014 2:26 PM To: Hi-Z Receiving Array Discussions Subject: [Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Phasing Units Ground Connections The Hi-Z phasing units have a 13.8V input connection along with a ground connection.

The single phasing unit and for the four square receive antenna has a control cable going to it with one supply connection and one ground connection. The amplifiers take their power from the coaxial cable. Are you referring to phasing multiple four square antennas??? You could cause a good bit of head scratching and I can ill afford to lose more hair. 73 Doug EI2CN From k3lr at k3lr.com Tue Oct 14 11:06:28 2014 From: k3lr at k3lr.com (Tim Duffy) Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 11:06:28 -0400 Subject: [Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussionsDigest, Vol 36, Issue 1 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Doug, If you have a post amplifier, the 4 square controller, the ASC and the PNP - you have four devices that all need DC power at the center box. 73, Tim K3LR -----Original Message----- From: Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions [mailto:hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions-bounces at hizantennas.com] On Behalf Of Doug Turnbull Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 3:56 AM To: hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions at hizantennas.com Subject: Re: [Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussionsDigest, Vol 36, Issue 1 Gentlemen, What am I missing here?

Sorry if I have missed any help. I have changed my e-mail address to my ARRL address to see if it will help. Apparently the list black balled my regular address because MSN (Hotmail) bounced some e-mails. We will see how this works.
