Re: [IRCA] BOG question

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Neil and Nick for the responses.  Neil - Yes, experimentation
is always an option.  KAZ, thanks - forgot about inductively coupling
it.  That would be the easiest, most fool proof way!

Nick - on the 400 I think just one would be used for an unbalanced
antenna and both would be used for a balanced input, like my old
Sanserino.  Just not sure what to do with the unused terminal, if I was
just using one, as an unbalanced BOG.

Forgive me as I am not familiar with either one of those rx's. However,
you can just try and see what works better in the field, or wrap a few
turns of the BOG around the rx to inductively couple into its internal
loopstick.
