[NLRS] Directive Systems THANK YOU

[Ronald Bergantzel]

 Hello Mike and all . I have had very good experiences with Terry at Directive Systems . I currently have multiple DSFO25 for 432 MHz and am completely satisfied with their products . Although , if Donn is selling you a 2M12 , it is a good antenna also - as I use a single 2M12 out at the farm QTH . On the 2M12 , I've worked EME , meteor scatter , etc running legal limit power levels .... the only drawback over all the years of using the 2M12 is it is very , very suseptable to rain static ( even if it thinks its going to rain or snow or any kind of precipitation - bad enough rain static to blow a FET in one of the preamps ). I don't know if the FO15 for 2m is as bad for precip static or not - maybe someone that's running one could jump in on the discussion . If I were going to do it all over with a 144 MHz antenna out at the farm , I would be doing it with a 15 ele Directive systems yagi . As the old saying goes - your mileage may vary ..... 73s and have fun . Ron KA0RYT     On Monday, April 20, 2020, 10:47:08 AM CDT, Mike Cizek W0VTT <mgcizek at gmail.com> wrote:  
 
 Thanks guys!  Now I'm just waiting to hear if they are working these days,
and if so, I will order it.

Now for an amp....  Looking at a BIG home brew one here in Rochester, but
it's way more than I want.  Ideally, solid state, 10w in 500w out, more or
less.
