Re: [IRCA] Pixel Technologies AM-2 Loop Reviews?

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm a little surprised that the ALA1530 seems so wimpy, Les.  I use a 
similarly sized loop with an ALA100 amplifier (not recommended by the 
manufacturer), and it puts out more than enough signal for domestic 
DXing with bonus high power trans-Pacifics, and pretty darn good LW 
performance (i.e. not much electrical noise).  Have you discussed 
this with Wellbrook?

best wishes,

Nick
