Define went dead? SWR is infinite?  Can you hear anything? Which model?  Is it the newer model that uses a Capacitor or the old style 40-2CD which used a simple coils of coax for the choke?

  Gang,

My Cushcraft 2 el 40 went dead on me and after checking the coax it seems 
either the coax or balun may be bad.

Is there a way to use the MFJ antenna analyzer to check the problem from the 
ground.  The beam is mounted 10 feet above the TEnnedyne T-10 so its not easy 
to physical check out.  I will probably have to get a tower professional to do 
the work.
