Jeff! I reiterate...  I am in a very rural (and depressed) area...
I know of NO one that has an analyzer.  Thought I made this clear, sorry.
ALL: Isn't there an Elmer out there that recognizes this array ???
     Or has some suggestions of mfgr/model numbers ?  I don't mind
     contacting several mfgrs to obtain diagrams of their products
     as long as I eventually find the same one.  There CAN'T be THAT
     many different units in HamDom configured this same way ?!?!
     I'm SURE it's not a "new" unit (as it shows MUCH wear at the
     slipjoints and on the elements), we're probably looking at a
     model that was in production around 10 (maybe more) years ago.
Sincerely,
