I'm also on the Beam-Ant. Since I don't have a powersupply (other than a 9v
battery) I'm a bit confused on how much power it needs.

I'm planning on running it oafa PM1 SE with this 1F Goldcap, a 3733 SC and a
1381C. This should then mean it would trigger around 2.7v taking the diode
of the PM1 into account.

Would this be enough to make my ant run? I haven't got the 1381C so that's
why I'm asking.

Thanks,

THomas
