<div dir="auto">"Good luck" is not how I would word it. The combo of mANT30 and BaseBox5/RB912 work well together, but I had two RB912's go deaf this month at Crystal. They were mounted about 8 ft from a 100W VHF transmitter. I'd recommend a metal case at least if you are collocating on a busy tower. You can order the RB912 board by itself and aftermarket cases are available. <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Tom KD7LXL </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Aug 17, 2017 15:31, "Nigel Vander Houwen" <<a href="mailto:nigel@nigelvh.com">nigel@nigelvh.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>At this point, in most any circumstance I’d recommend going with a dual pol client.
