Hi Greg,
I have an ALA1530, an ALA100 and an AVA100, all from Wellbrook.
Very fine antennas indeed.
Of course I have tried to open the units and see the circuits ! Very
disappointing : the units are filled up with a sort of hard black wax which
makes impossible to see neither the components nor the circuit. That makes
of course the construction very safe for outdoor use.
But I think it's also very safe for the industrial secret !
Don't you think it's the main aim of the constructor Andy IKIN to prevent
any chinese imitation ?
Have a nice week end
Dominique

¡§what should the microprocessor be doing in there?¡§
Exactly !.
I just looked at the welbrook site and I didn't see any mention of a
microprocessor in their latest antenna.

Perhaps I'me wrong , but I don't think there is a processor in there
at all.
Perhaps a previous message writer saw (or heard of) a chip inside and
confused that with a processor , where as in reality , it might have
been a voltage regulator or a mosfet in an odd package.(who knows?)
As far as your question is concerned , I just cant image a use for a
microprocessor in an active RX antenna like that.
