I've been following this subject as I need 4 each of the 3.5" sheaves so I can finish up a TRX-80HD tower raising setup. I have an HDX-589 and purchased it used, unfortunately it did not come with th
I'm interested in the Rotor Genius for a new tower project which will have two rotors. An Orion and a Tic Ring. I think the advantage to using the RG with the TIC is not needing the POT to determine
I am no longer operating SO2R so my 4O3A filters set is no longer needed. See my add on qrz. Thanks Rich - N5ZC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________

The hairpin is a good place to start. The weak point is the ring terminals used to attach the coil to the feed point bolts. I found the hairpin coil laying near the base of my tower. The winds here f
I have a 140' rotating tower. 130' above the rotation point with several yagi's mounted from top to bottom. Has anyone gamma matched a rotating tower on 160m? Or would it be possible to run a 1/4 wir
And of course I meant Rotating tower not Rotation tower in the subject line. Has anyone gamma matched a rotating tower on 160m? Or would it be possible to run a 1/4 wire up the side of the tower, spa
And the wire would have to be real close to the tower in order to go between the tower and rotating ring. Probably the only way to do this is shunt or gamma match the tower as long as the matching wi
Steve, I recently took a lighting hit that took out quite a bit of my equipment. I have a WISP antenna on my tower and I feel it came through the ethernet to the computer then to all devices connect
Elliot, I have several JK Antennas including a 3040SR which has 4 elements on 40m and 3 elements on 30m. All 7 elements are coil loaded. These are robust antennas and the hardware is excellent. We
Elliot, Check thewireman.com They have cable specifically for the Orion 2800. It's part # 306. Dxengineering carries part DXE-CW1812OR for the 2800. That cable has an extra ground wire. Rich - N5Z
I have a 1022 Tic Ring, new in the box, that I won't be needing. This model is for 45g/55g. It comes with two motors and the control box. The motors have a stamp that it was manufactured in May of 19

I use chassis mount power poles on my entrance bulkhead for my control wires (stack matches and rotor control). The bulkhead mounts allow for 4 pairs (8 wires). I used frontpanelexpress.com to design
JK has a nice compact 80m dipole (JK801) with T-Bar loading. It uses a Tornado tuner for moving around the band. You can cover the entire 75m/80m band. It's only 55' long and is very stout. I used th
Mike, Another rotor to consider is DX Engineering's TR-4500HD. It looks similar to an M2 Orion. One of the neat features is the ability to easily change out the pulse counter switch without having

One option is to use a green heron rt21 controller and setup soft limits. That way the rotor will stop before the antenna or side mount hits the tower. Rich - N5ZC Sent from my iPhone _______________
