I found an interesting YouTube video, testing the PALOMAR ERF 9530. An "eye-opener" . . . https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/palomar-erf9530-source.265632

I have been watching a ton of Mark's videos on YouTube. Although I have learned a lot, much of it is way over my head. I would love to ask him a few questions, but he doesn't do that, apparently. For those of you who might be curious, from info in his video's, I believe I've located where he...
