- After looking at their literature it appears to me that this is nothing more then two beverages, one in each direction, with the "feed unit" being, perhaps, a couple relays. I don't see the merit in

- What do you give if you listen to the signal on a beverage? Does it have a preamp and do you take that into account? A S9 on the transmit antenna won't be S9 on a beverage. I think the idea of using
