    Question on the Vector

    Bob, There are only few manufacturers who make antennas because of the joy of making something. There are many who try to create a hype in order to sell I perfectly understand one has to make a living.. But i often wonder: if such a antenna manufacturer sees a "bob" and looks them in the...

    Question on the Vector

    But, I have claimed this is all a mute point now...because DB's new 4Nec2 model has shown us the kind of gain that Sirio reports for their NV4K, Donald claims in his real world testing, and we see the model suggesting the gain noted as CMC's. No it does not... As previously mentioned.

    Question on the Vector

    Question on the Vector

    Think fastes way for u would be: copy paste the wires provided of "model DB" into a .txt document (wordpad) Open eznec. Go to wires screen "press" other. Go to import wires from ascii file .....replace exsisting wires Go find your .txt document done.

    Question on the Vector

    well i hate to be the party breaker... but I think we are missing the point.... What i tried to point out yesterday: Im afraid the model is inaccurate. When done as one should...the gain is drops with say 3 to 4dB I allready told you both where the main part of the error is. Besides that...

    Question on the Vector

    No, im afraid it shows less.. if you include material losses we are somewhere around 1,5 dBI (give or take 0,5 dB ..i forgot) You can upload that file in enzec by the way... And just to have it said, was the first time i saw the model with "two wires" (u know what i mean) really like the...

    Question on the Vector

    I would love to know Henry's thoughts on this model. That being said, at the same time I wouldn't blame him on not wanting to dive into this mess... @ DB, Perhaps u could run the model again. But this time include material losses. - Go to the new editor menu - Select source / load (select...
