[Lowfer] Grabber @ W5JGV

[W5JGV (Ralph Hartwell)]

Rather poor reception tonight, as there are thunderstorms in progress
and the WD2XSH/7 beacon transmitter is on the air tonight.

I built and added a line driver amplifier to the output of the E-Probe
antenna that feeds the Band Viewer and the Grabber.  I want to feed
several other receivers, but the output level was not high enough to
handle an 8-way RF splitter.  Adding another 10 dB of gain did the
trick.

I plan to re-rack all the Grabber hardware and do some rewiring,
probably this coming week end if things go well.  I'll likely have the
Grabber and Band Viewer off line for a couple of days while I get it all
worked out and reconfigured.
