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.
