Fellows,

I am looking for a CU 872 antenna coupler.
About 20 dual triodes, a nifty panel meter.
I is receive only. I antenna in and 8 receivers out.
You could run these about 3 deep and fan out to 512 or so receivers off one 
antenna. They were used with R390 R390/A and covered the range. You could get a 
little higher than 30 megs. They have a low pass filter that cut the bottom 
off at 2 MHz. This filter could be bypassed with a BNC barrel connector.

The gain of these was zero. The noise was not worse than not having one in 
line. Using them two or three deep did not loose any signals. If you could hear 
it with an R390 off the antenna, you could hear it with 1, 2, or 3 CU 872s in 
line.

The unit has gain as it spread the input out to 8 outputs. I would like to 
rewire
one as an RF amp. I know some of you fellows need all 8 outputs and could 
likely use more than 1 unit. However I would be happy to use only 4 outputs.

Thanks
