Subject: [TowerTalk] Beverage Antenna Problem
I have been trying to repair my 4 beverage antennas. Wires and terminations
are good. 2 of the beverages work well, 2 are "dead" I have checked the
coax and connectors are ok. Other than broken wires, what can go wrong with
the transformer? What the heck am I missing? Short to the core? I will
try moving a transformer from a working Beverage to a dead one to see if
that is the problem. Both "dead" ones have RG-59 coax with foil and shield
to them. The working ones have other types of coax. All have transformers
from ON4UN that used to work great. 3 are 600' one is 800' the 800' and
one 600' are not working.
I guess I should try the substitution of another transformer first...
Thanks
Chuck W5PR
