[BC] Part 15 LPAM Question?

[Robert Meuser]

I am not that sure that these units are in the rangemaster league.  
There is a certain amount of 'black art' when it comes to matching a 
legal antenna. Without looking at the schematics or at least the PC 
board, it is hard to state with authority that these units are equal to 
a Rangemaster. The only way to determine this would be a head to head 
shootout.
