[AMRadio] Different bands

[rbethman]

I've been using the Alpha Delta fan dipole.

The TS-930SAT/LK-500ZB, or the DX-60 with the amp do just fine with it.

I haven't melted one of the coils yet.

However, the BC-610/T-213 just flat do not like the coils.  It has to do 
with the Final PA circuitry.  The SWR just goes off the end of the metering

It is precisely why I had to string a separate 40mtr dipole just to use 
the Beasts.
