tower. The current owner (not a ham) inherited it with a home purchase, and
wants to sell it as he has no use for it. He doesn't know if it's the
"Standard" model TX-472 or the "Heavy-duty" model HDX-572. Is there any way to
tell?
Do they possibly have different widths at the base section, etc? I'd like to
know what to look for when I go look at it to determine the model number
before I consider buying it, as I live on a mountaintop where I get
substantial
wind gusts.
Don't have specific details but a 472 has a #4 top section and a 572 has
a #5 top section. I think the #5 is bigger so the whole tower would be
bigger and beefier.
