    Please help me decide which 4 element beam to get

    With the Yagi you are limited to rx/tx on the horizontal or vertical depending on how you set up the yagi. With the lightning 4+ you get both at the flip of your coax switch box, better ears than the yagi, More gain per element than the Yagi, and Quads are lighter than yagis.

    No it does not get hot... Just warm to the touch with 1KW average watts into it. I looked at the specs again Its rated for 1.5 KW continuous and I am putting 1000+/- continuous watts into the thing. So I guess it is a combination of Harmonics and running it close to its limits. I have a ICE...

    Bencher YA1 Low Pass Filter

    Is it normal for a low pass filter to get warm to the touch when operating :confused: I have a Bencher YA1 inline. I am running less power than what the filter is rated for, connections are tight and my SWR is below 1.5. Thanks
