They have issued a refund. The seller said that my antenna was defective.
This is kind of a strange outfit. They are in Russia selling Chinese goods,
shipped from China.  Since I don't have to return it, I will disassemble it
to see what went bad. I replied that if he could assure me that it would
work on 12 volts, I might order another.

Hi

Sitting here casually reading the data sheets for some of the modern Trimble
survey receivers - they have gone to 7.2V (just below your 7.5V trigger point)
as an antenna supply voltage.

Who knows what that might imply relative to this antenna.
