Hi Tod, K0TO,
I have a Radar Engineers Model 240 which I use for locating noise sources on
power lines. I highly recommend it. I also have a Radar Engineers Model 250
Ultrasonic Locator. The combination can not only find the offending pole, but
usually I can pick out the noise making hardware while remaining on the ground.
I like to use my Tektronix Model TDS-210 Oscilloscope with the 240, larger
display and easier to see. I run the scope off of an Astron Model Pi-250W power
inverter. It has a remarkably accurate crystal controlled frequency. This allows
synchronization with the power line frequency.
Normally I use a two or three element beam on 144 MHz to locate the "suspect"
pole with the 240, then I use a 440 MHz 6 element yagi to verify the pole, and
finally I use the 250 to pick out the hardware item on the pole. The Model 240
really is an outstanding piece of equipment, as is the 250.
You can read a story I wrote about my locating experience in Marv Loftness' new
edition of his AC Power Interference Handbook, available from the ARRL. Marv's
book is a "must read" for information on how to locate power line noise sources.
I hope this helps you. If you have any questions, but email me.
Sincerely, and 73s,
Alan, W4LKE

one should stay one....
that is your system common for both the directional and brake "paths"....
unfortunately my manual is not here but....
I know 4 and 8 are the motor capacitor....
so I would guess it just may be 2 and 3 that need switching....
Lift the line and put you Voltmeter on there - see which combo moves
when you hit the directional buttons!
As memory serves its 24 volts I think
