Re: [IRCA] LF Engineering H-800 opinions sought



Lee,

I have used an LFE H-800 for quite some time with good success. I had to replace one vertical element the victim of south Florida lightning -- the inside box was okay -- and did not consider not doing so. As soon as I get my act together I'll send the damaged unit to LFE for repair and then enjoy two H-800s. I use the H-800 for HF as well, so a second one will eliminate some conflicts.

I have no facility for any sort of wire antenna. Instead I have the H-800 and an LFE M-601. I use that antenna combination with a Quantum Phaser. Unfortunately I can't offer any comparison with a wire, but I can say the H-800 works very well with a phaser.

I can get one decent wire antenna up where I now live (a 160-80-40 trapped
dipole in inverted Vee configuration) and a number of pole-mounted antennas
(sticks, discones, that kind of thing.)

Having only the one MF/HF wire antenna makes using a phaser a teensy touch
problematic so I'm wondering how well or badly the LF Engineering H-800
might do as a substitute for that second antenna.

So, how is the H-800 in general, and has anyone ever tried it in a phasing
combo?


TIA,
