Amazingly packaged and labelled kit that assembles quickly and easily. I am using it with a 2 metre tape measure antenna for fox hunting and it is quick and easy to set up and use.

I have used it with success on both the 2 metre band and the 70cm amateur bands.

I enclosed the kit in a diecast metal box - together with its battery and this is mounted on the handle of the antenna. Your antenna should have a good f to b ratio and should incorporate a choke made of a few turns of coax wound round the handle and this is a little insurance that you don't head off in the wrong direction.

Even seconds count in fox hunting and I cannot stress the need to take this kit out and using a fixed station to learn how to use it. Have your radio memories set so you can quickly hop up and down the band in 4 MHz steps and it is a great help that when you do this if you keep to attenuation to a minimum until you have found the correct frequency step.

Congratulations on a very well presented and effective kit.
