Message-ID: <5449384E.26985.27FCD5@Gary.ka1j.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I ordered a LED kit from Idiom Press to
replace the burned out 1819 bulb in my
tailtwister controller but Idiom stuck me
& kept the money, sent nothing, won't
return emails and the phone isn't
answered, and there's a default message
saying the user has not set up the
mailbox.

So I'm looking for a better alternative to
the 1819 bulb & if there's a known better
LED alternative, does anyone have a source
or link they can share.

Also, I saw Idiom has a digital mod to the
Tailtwister but after this experience I'm
not sending anything to them again. Is
there an aftermarket rotor that has a
manual digital input of some kind? I don't
want to have the rotor aim every time I
enter a call into my logging program.

Talking about Idium Press, I bought a new hand key from them a few years ago. The knob had been either purposely broken off or accidentally broken off and then glued in place. The problem was the knob was tilted on an angle and looked terrible. When I complained the jerk said I could buy a new knob from him at some ridiculous cost. I never bought a thing from that A** H*** again.

They are the anti-Idiom Press: great products and great customer service. If you get the ERC-M you can control two rotators from one USB port.


Supported by PstRotator software and others I?m sure.

Cadweld probably works well for wire. I use 2" copper strap and PolyPhaser
clamps.  Is Cadweld available for strap?

I watched the video about Cadweld and read the info, but I'm still not
convinced it is better than old fashioned ground rod clamps.

Comments?

Look on ebay for 12v LED strips .. 3 per section ... 200+ sections on
