Swapped out the DAT MIX for the U4000 again. This time around I installed a rotor. By doing this I was able to find a spot at 100 degrees (by...

The DAT 790 MIX is working again. I am definitely seeing stronger signal gain on the weaker Dayton channels compared to the U4000. Almost as strong as when I used the Super G 1483 with a pre amp. ...
