Remote Tuning for the Alexloop

[Edward A. Dauer]

The recent discussion here of totable antennas led me to look into the Alexloop.  I found one video in which Alex was demonstrating his then-recently developed remote tuning device.  But I could not find the remote for sale on his website, nor any other mention of it other than a few Internet comments about a prototype.  Does anyone know if it ever came into production?  In the video it looked like a finished product.

Tnx,

Ted, KN1CBR

Hi Ted,

I remember that he experimented with a remote that was basically a stepper motor that had a reduction gearing and range control switching to prevent running past the stops. IIRC don't think he was entirely happy with the results but it worked. He doesn't mention it as a product.

Write him at the email on his web site and you will get an answer. He is a nice guy and will probably point you to possible solutions.

As of Dayton, he's still working on the prototype and nothing is yet for
sale.
