[Rover] Re: DEMI transverter interfacing question

[Robin Midgett]

Hi Jacob,
I have two of the TIB boxes; they work well. Just calibrate the ALC output 
of the TIB for your HF rig & you are off to the races. I did however, 
replace the stock TIB load resistor with a higher power handling version to 
allow me more tune up time. I had a couple of 5 watt 100 ohm resistors 
which I connected in parallel to make the load...work good, last long time.

Yes indeed..remember, this is easily a lifetime hobby.
