[SJDXA] ICE 196 RF Limiters

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

SJDXA members and W2GD CW Team,

As I previously mentioned, I went ahead and ordered a set of 3 RF Limiters
from ICE. They arrived Saturday. I had also ordered a 197 RF Limiter for
myself which is the same RF Limiter however it also has lightning
protection. I will be using this in my home station once I set up my new RX
antenna. 

For the upcoming 160 SSB contest, we will be using these RF Limiters on our
equipment. One each (model 196) installed on the RX antenna (beverage) input
to each radio. Plus one (my model 197) (remote RX vertical) installed on the
main feed before divided to each radio's second RX input (K3's only).

Since these will be used by both the CW team and SJDXA, I suggest that the
cost be divided between the two groups.

Total cost for the 3 196 RF Limiters at $38.00 each:

$114.00

$   6.80 shipping

$120.80

 

We will be needing at least 4 extra RCA/RCA male jumpers (small coax).

We will also need 4 ground straps with small lugs on each end for grounding
the limiters. Long enough to reach our ground points in the trough. (A few
feet each I guess to be safe)

Can anyone provide these from their junk boxes? 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!
