[ARC5] Heath GDO People

[John Watkins]

I also have the PRM-10, The complete coil set and a few spares.  Works great to set up antennas, and very stable.  I use an HP counter with a pickup loop for frequency control.  Also easy to use for spoting receiver freqs especially on my BC-348.

Oren Elliot made the capacitors for Heath. They are still in business.

I wonder if they still stock the GDO capcitors? If so it would not be cheap.
