Centre loaded modulator

Post by slamjam »

Has anyone ever used a centre loaded modulator for static mobile? Would be interested to see if anyone has done any comparisons.

Thanks

I have had one, to be honest I couldn't tell any performance difference between it and the base loaded version.

They do look impressive though.

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

Which 3 do you have Andrew? I have only ever seen the original and the 2, but was led to believe there were at least 3 more.

They also did a black widow which was centre loaded but had a very long coil.

They did a Modulator 2000 base load as well, and a couple of smaller antennae called the Thunderbolt.

I have a Original, but it is a newer original with a shorter coil than the first ones.
