[1000mp] Roofing Filter

[Brian Smithson]

Hi Bob!

Can you tell me which band you did your XG-1 tests on? Does the S-meter
reading for 50uV vary band-to-band?

Checked the voltage and re-did the coax cables again and reset all of them 
and it is working now.  In fact I had to drop from 13 down to 11 or 10.  Man

what a pain those little suckers are.

Thanks for the help.
