Does anyone have an idea what reed switch is used in the Spid RAK-1 rotor? Manufacturer and part number? Without actually having the rotor on the bench yet, I think I need to replace the reed switch.
Thanks to those who responded both here and in private. Sorry ... I did leave one important thing out which is that the tower took a lightning strike. The XM-240 at the top took the hit and blew out
John, I recently bought a few Vishay 534-11501 from Mouser 594-53411501 as a replacement. However, I am already having problems with what I believe is an intermittent wiper after only 7 months. Part

First of all many thanks to all who responded here on the reflector and also in private. Several options were offered. Jim VE7RF has it right on for what happened here at this QTH. Besides being hit
Unfortunately, October of 2014 I had a fall from a ladder (tower would have been safer - Hi Hi). 3 surgeries so far and 1 more to go later this year. So I am not able to climb and need tower work don
Has anyone tried to mount a KT34XA on a TIC ring rotor? It looks like the boom will need to be mounted more toward the back of the beam (Reflector end) causing a weight imbalance. Is the KT34XA torqu
It has been years since I made the conversion of my CC XM240 to a 40M Moxon antenna. It has sat in my basement and I still have yet to get it up on the 100' R55 tower. I am expecting to finally do
