John, I replaced the stock mast clamp on my 2800 with one that K7LXC used to sell via championradio.com . I don't think he sells it any longer. I picked it over the K7NV style for ease of installati

Tom, I have considered this idea as a backup plan. Ordering directly from M2 is an option, albeit the most expensive option. This is why I'm looking for pre-weathered aluminum vs new. If I have to go
Steve, I have a F12 C31 a few inches above the tower and a F12 230/240 6' above it. The 230/240 is mounted on the opposite side of the mast. Mark Hooper (N5WEB), the owner of F12 at the time I purch

Fred, The solution to the direction indicator issue is to use a Rotor Genius from 4O3A. It uses an electronic compass mounted to the aluminum boom of the yagi your turning. All you need at that point
The SWR on my F12 C31 (pre JK) went wonky. I climbed the tower today and immediately saw the issue. There was a significant burn mark in the middle of the Jacket Feed (romex house wire). Its going to
