[HCDX] Antenna phaser sold
Sorry David, Bruce, 
Geir and others, the APU100 is sold.  A Swede beat you to it, I hope it's 
not an omen for the Winter Olympics :-)
 
To those who asked 
how the APU100 compares to the MFJ-1025/1026:  Its amplifier is a push-pull 
version which gives it much better strong signal handling than the MFJ (I know, 
I've tried both).  Phasing is somewhat simpler with only two pots vs. three 
on the MFJ, and of course it does not need to be modified for use on MW.  I 
have a feeling (without having had the opportunity to do A/B testing) that it 
produces deeper nulls too.  But this is a subjective 
statement.
 
I don't know how 
many units Andy Ikin made before he terminated manufacturing of this unit.  
The general advice should be:  If you see one, buy one.
