Craig, Any chance the antenna might have swung past the limit switch while the rotor was unlocked? I had this happen to me once --it would turn a little but then the "wrong" limit switch came into pl
As has been said so many time, check with Mosely. The antenna (S402) is still, or at least close to, current. If you strike out, advise and I can help. Believe me, the manual isn't much! John, N0IJ -

With all the talk about the expense of guying (phily and EHS), it might be a good time to remind folks to check out Rohn 55 over 45. I have 110' of 55 with a 20' mast and it's guyed in two places--50

Steve, I have had one of these for several years now and it's worked nicely. I recall having a problem at first while using a F12 balun. I removed that balun and used a simple coax choke balun, and t
