Yes, I didn't get that right and makes sense. Only 50W on my Radio.. 1/2
power into Amp.
I'm obviously not electronically edumacated (as they say in Hawaii :-).. just
trying to figure out how to reach out without spending an arm/leg or hurting
anything :-)
I ordered the Array AS-RXFEB to try it out. It's the easiest way to install.
I'm going to use the TS-570 for TX and Yaesu 987 for RX.
For me, I should be able to tell pretty easily if it works or not I would
think? The Beverage itself should be a nice improvement as a directional to
NE (Mainland U.S.)
What's the RX with and without the product attached to antenna? Can I tell a
difference by ear? See an S difference?
I would try 5 watts without the filter on and see what it shows? Maxed out?
Try 10 watts with and without etc...
I looked up the instructions for DX RTR-1 Switch and Diagram 2 is what I'd be
using. 811H amp. Beverage, Amp Buffer etc...
If I'm not satisfied with Array on 2nd Radio (having to adjust volume might be
an annoying issue).. I think the DX is the second choice.

I'm using a DX Eng. 4 Port Switch for Hex, 40, 80 and 160M dipole. I might go
with the Cushcraft MA-160V if not satisfied with Dipole. (limited space and
height issues).
When everyone was trying to reach PT0S a few days ago.. I was getting clear
signals from all over the U.S. & East Coast was no problem 5-7 (my noise is
usually around S3-4 on low Dipole - with 200ft ocean drop nearby). Not too
close to city.. on point.
East Coast from me is nearly 5000 miles and it was a pileup. I recorded it on
phone to have friend tell me call signs (getting ready to learn CW now).
Yesterday.. Noise level was S0-S1. Very quiet.
Thank you!!
Bryan.
