  1. Look what showed up today Damn this is some nice stuff! I am too busy to play with it today but i will soon. We have some testing to do here too so this should be fun! check back ill post more pics here! Make sure you check out all the info over at http://www.termpro.com (if interested). I posted the link because i know people will ask.

  2. i could yes! but my only problem is time. maybe i can arrange a meter session for some people to drop by and see how they do. But again it is hard. Weekends are best but i also have chores at home...so sometimes i don't come out then. But maybe i will see what i can do.

  3. Here is a little bit of what i have been working on today. Well first, i wanted to take a few pictures of these terminals with those outrageous 2/0 copper lugs on them. Just to see if they would actually fit. I knew they did but since people been asking i just wanted to clarify. You can use ANY wire that has a ring terminal on it. 5/16" opening on the hole. You can use 2/0, 1/0, 4ga, 8ga (as pictured here)...heck you can wrap a small wire around one of the bolts, oldschool style if you have to haha! Oh, and if you scroll down, there is something you might REALLY like....i know i like it so far

  4. RF HLC and HLC-4 will likely give you the same problems. The RF BLD should work well for you though. Here is the problem, the inexpensive LOCs use a transformer to take the high level signal and reduce it down to low level. Transformers work by creating a magnetic field and transmitting the signal that way. Like wireless communication. As you may be aware wireless transmission works best at high frequencies, at lower frequencies it basically stops working. That is what is wrong with all the inexpensive LOCs out there, they use transformers. It works fine at 1kHz, but below 50Hz the wheels start to fall off. At 40Hz they are so distorted the DD-1 will report distortion at any level. By 20Hz there is nothing that resembles a sine wave coming out of those things. The transformer coupled LOC is a great example of a product designed by a marketing person. No electrical engineer would ever recommend that.
