Using a Wellbrook ALA1530LN on an RSP2
Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2018 8:00 am
Currently, Port A is attached to an active mini-whip antenna that I believe provides really quite good reception from VLF through MF (at all times) and >7 Mhz (most times - haven't done much above 15Mhz at HF).
Port B is populated by three-way external switching to an H/V/UHF discone, an alternative active mini-whip (reasonable from 5 Mhz and up) and a hula-loop or an RF Systems EMF antenna (either with an atu).
The HI-Z is currently attached to an end-fed long wire and preforms well within the antenna's limitations.
May I ask advice or opinion on whether to start by attaching the ALA1530 to the A Port, taking advantage of the MW/FM filter and what is thought to be it's pretty reasonable performance, at least <5 Mhz and >7 Mhz with the antenna currently fitted or attaching it to the Hi-Z input.
I intend to mount it a couple of meters up and about 5 - 6 M from the nearest point of the house, using an existing run of RG-58, but no rotator yet - it may at least help to improve my fitness, going up and down stairs (all my kit's in an upstairs "shack"), in & out to change orientation.
