Hello, Jack --
Yes, I will pass along to you the LXC "secret dimensions". The 402CD has
phone, mid and cw dimensions. Split the difference between mid and cw and
you'll be all set. That will give you 2:1 points at 7.000 and 7.250. Any
other setting won't give you this much usability. Works every time. Should
resonate around 7.075.
BTW, you may want to check out TowerTalk, the tower and antenna
reflector. Lots of interesting and knowledgeable folks hang out there and
this is just the type of info that is available. Send a message to
towertalk-request@akorn.net with subscribe in the message and you'll be all
set. See you there!
73 and good luck, Steve K7LXC
