Chas, You should have received the rotor, 16 bolts and washers, 125' cable with connectors attached, control box and manual. They originally did not come with the "pin" bolt. The SDX was the first in
I have used the RCSV-8 for 6 years and it has been trouble free, more or less. I selected it because it was available new for $119.00 at the time. Note well that I mounted it at ground level and have
I would contact Skip Bolnick, KJ6Y, for information. He erects and removes towers in the Los Angeles County area and should be a great data source. Good luck in your quest. Semper Fi, Tommy - K6YE DX
Bill, I totally concur with Harry. I have an FTDX-5000MP, IC-775DSP, and FT-1000D. They excel when used in conjunction with a Hy-Gain HG-54HD 54' tower and a Force12 C-4XLD yagi. I agree with the sta
There are at least two possible solutions to ponder. I see connectors, from time-to-time, on Ebay. HRO sells a 100+ foot length of cable with both connectors attached. I am sure there are other opini
Tom, You are correct on the antenna. Semper Fi, Tommy - K6YE Rob I believe the antenna is a Force 12 XR-5. (C3 with 17 and 12 meter elements on an 18' ft boom) 73 -Tom KA2D -- Original Message -- Fro
To All: I am planning to put up a 3 element Cushcraft six meter yagi above my Force-12 C4XLD on a 54-foot crank-up tower. The C4 is about one foot above the tower. Specifically, I am looking at heigh
Paula, I have the HG-54HD, A50-3S, C4-XLD, and a triple wall 15' mast. I feel that the tower handles my "little stack" with ease. Your loading, in my opinion, is about the same. Kudos on factoring in
Chuck, I have a T2X on the tower and a Yaesu 2800-SDX on my desk to replace the former. The bolt patterns are not even close. You can download both patterns (Hygain/MFJ for the T2X and Yaesu for the
Gary, You may want to go with 11.0 figure. You need to factor in "moment of force" (aka torque). This may help you sleep better on very gusty days. Good luck in your choice. Semper Fi, Tommy - K6YE D
To All, One of my good friends, N4BNM, has encountered a problem in the top C-49R. He has a stack of three: one at 55', one at 95', and the final one at 145'. All are fed through StackMatch. Each ant

Anthony, Maybe you should try K7NV's prop pitch http://www.k7nv.com/. I have no experience with them but I checked out the build at Visalia this year and it great. Good luck in your quest. Semper Fi,
Roger, A few antennas come to mind. I am using a Force-12 C4XLD (now called Delta-4XSL) and it works fairly well. Other choices are: SteppIR (several choices), Mosley PRO-67C, M2 7-10-30LP8, and Opti
The MA-40 is rated at 10 sq. feet in 50 mph winds. This criteria should be carefully considered with respect to antenna and rotor. Good luck in your quest. BTW, the T2X ix rated at 20 sq. feet which

Stephen, Jack's idea of asking the rotator repair folks is good. If you have to replace it you may consider the DCU-2, the new DCU-3, and/or Green Heron's RT-21. Semper Fi, Tommy - K6YE DX IS and CW
Jim, I replaced a T2X Tailtwister with a Yaesu G-2800DXA and other than rewiring the plug on each end, I had to change nothing at all. The fit was perfect. I do use a thrust bearing to carry all of t

John, Have you considered a smaller tri-bander such as the old Cushcraft ATB-34 or a Hexbeam? These are small footprint, great performing antennas that may fill the bill for you. Good luck in your qu
