Example Antena And Transmitter Pattern Results
While we have tested many interesting antennas and cool transmitter products at RTCE, customer data is always held confidential. However, RTCE has tested a number of public domain antennas purchased on the open market (often on eBay or "hamfests") to serve as example test programs. These examples can help you decide on which "Test Option" and resolution are best for your product.
