HI,
"The fault lies in thyself", was uttered many moons ago but that quote now applies to me! In summary I could not get my SSB 70cm preamp to work with my Icom 910; Jerry of SSB gave me terrific support to try get it working, and found it hard to believe that the relays engaged and it did not function. He said in 15 years not one was DOA, and said the only conclusion was that it was connected to the wrong antenna. I did the system checks that were suggested by this BB and still no joy. Convinced that the unit had a problem I sent the SSB Preamp back to Larry, no surprise it checked out fine; guess what the coax was put to the wrong antenna upon installation. I'm the "village idiot"! I want to thank all those that responded, this BB is a terrific asset to anyone interested in getting help with Satellite activity, thank you and my sincere apologies for taking up the bandwidth an so much of Jerry's valuable time.
