I have been using a 2el doppler DF aerial for many years on DF fox hunts, but
ossacionally have toubles with it, & had to revert to just the FT290r & it's
case screened telescopic aerial. This has been supprsingly sucessfull!

WHAT U HAVE TO DO
1/ To reduce any wrong signal pickup, remove all leads, mic & headphone etc.
2/ Hang the rig on its strap around your neck, tune to Fox frequency, adjust
volume & squelch etc.
3/ Set hight of the telescopic aerial for a mid S meter reading.
4/ Turn around using your body as a signal screen, note the direction for min &
max S meter readings.
5/ If the maximum is opposite the minium, for at least 2 readings, taken a few
meters apart, you should be able to trust that the Fox is in the maximum
reading direction.
6/ Built up areas are full of reflections, eg. Metal fences, Telegraph wires,
Street lamps etc, so do alow for some fauls readings!
IN USE
I have won 2 fox hunts his way so far, but it does help if someone else also
agrees with the direction readings on their rig.
See tech Bul "Doppler DF Aerial Design" & "4 Aerial Doppler RDF".
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
