Don: thanks to you and all that commented. I now have a link. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ Incidentally I have 5 is a misnomer actually a running - providing the VAC starting capacitor used on the T2X rotor?
Carl: Thanks! I ordered 2 today. Maybe I'll have them in time to work on the control unit this weekend. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ couple cased motor starting (AC) caps. Since I switched to VAC starting cap
Lee: I have a HyGain T2X that has been in operation for about 30 years. All I have ever done to it is replace the "motor" control capacitor in the shack mounted control box. For ten years it turned a
Thanks Phil and Larry! Your explanations make a lot of sense. One additional question. Do they sell different power supplies for the rotor (the 12 to 24 volts), or is that adjustable from the rotor c
For what it is worth, I had a HyGain TH-7DXX 2 ft above the top of the tower and a CushCraft A3WS 10 ft above that on the same mast, for over 10 years, with no problems with a T2X. I do not know what
No, I didn't see much in the way of interaction. The VSWR curves and the "patterns" looked like they should. Before I put the CushCraft up, I did a little analysis for the spacing and "observed" that
SJ: From your very well written post, I think that you already know the answer. I have found that making tough decisions is really not all that tough. The problem arises when you just don't like the
Bill: You wouldn't have a picture that you could post of those stacked 80M quads, would you? I sure would like to see that! 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ around Weather Stations", and lot's more. Call Toll Fre
WOW!! 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ 80M 160 "Wireless any Weather Stations", and lot's more. Call Toll Free, 1-800-333-9041 with any questions and ask for Sherman, W2FLA. ______________________________________
I must admit that I have not had good experience with Mosley. Years ago, I bought their 40 M dipole. It just wouldn't work right. I had a very high VSWR. After several trips up and down the tower, we
Daniel: About 11 years ago, I bought a 67B shortly after they came out. To make a very long story short, I had nothing but trouble with it. The problem was high VSWR and low Front -to- Rear. I could
Not an easy question to answer without more information. 1. How old is each one? 2. How many hours do the tubes on each on have? 3. Have any of them been repaired? If so, when and for what? 4. Probab
You might want to consider the 3 element SteppIR. It works 20 - 6 M on a 16 ft boom. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Suppo
Jim: have you owned a SteppIR? I suspect not. Over rated? I think not. 20-6 M coverage, optimized frequency segment by segment. Higher priced than the ones you mentioned? Yes. When is the last time t
Byron: I had a TH7-DXX at 78 ft and a Cushcraft A3-WS 10 ft above it. Use this setup for 10 years. It worked very well. I replaced all of that hardware with the 3 element SteppIR. From what I can tel
I have a sick tailtwister. It won't rotate either CW or CCW. I checked the fuses, OK. I measured the voltage at the control unit with the cable disconnected as per the manual, Voltages=OK. I measured
Unfortunately, I can't hear the rotor from the ground. It is about 70 ft in the air. 73s Bernard, WA4OEJ Barry, while the brake is released, can you detect any hum from the motor indicating it is try
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my inquiry with hints and suggestions! As I had mentioned, I had made a complete set of voltage and resistance measurements. They were all "right-on."
I am in the process of installing a U.S. Towers MA-850 tower with the MARB rotor base. I will be putting up a 3 element SteppIR with the 40 M add on. I am strongly considering the PST61D Big Boy roto
Some time ago, there were posts about Whitmore Wire Rope Lube and where you could buy it. At the time I didn't need any, but I would like to purchase several cans for a new M-850 installation. I have
