One of my junk drawers just coughed up a B&W cast aluminum center insulator for dipoles. It is a two piece clamshell design that is really heavy duty with eye bolts, ceramic insulators, gaskets and s
Many thanks to Pete, Norm, Kent, Jim and Clint for the feedback on the B&W dipole center insulator. No doubt I will need to fab some kind of rubber bushing to replace the long gone original. I recall
I will be selling my rotor system and seek a manual or its copy, paper or otherwise, and am willing to pay for it. I have the current 300A version but seek the manual for the original HDR-300. Any su
Anyone want to part with their Tower Jack? The combo is what I probably need since Murphy always strikes me. Please contact me off the reflector. Tks, Al N6TA ________________________________________
Finally my turn again. T2X will not rotate, all of a sudden. Brake sounds like it releases with the loud 'clank'. Diretcion meter will not move from its last indication, at JA. Voltages and resistanc
Thanks for the various suggestions. Problem is not at full CW or CCW but still tried the 'rocking' technique. No go. Disconnected from the mast so no loading and still won't turn. Took it down and pu
My T2X is not quite up to the task anymore so I thought I might replace it with an old HDR-300 that I have had in storage for 25 years. Anyone know if it will fit the AS455G accessory shelf that supo
Thanks for the info, John. My problem is starting torque for the SteppIr with 40 M dipole mod. he T2X worked FB on the TH6DXX but now the existing rotor seems to be very fussy about the alignment fro

My HDR-300 will become my T2X replacement to turn a 4 el Steppir on my Rohn 45. It is a lot more cost effective than buying a Spid or Prosistel . However, it has been sitting in storage since I acqu
Well, I replaced the T2X with an old HDR-300 (S/N 40) and it turns the 4 el Stepp I r fine. But, the digital readout is hosed. As currently wired, I get no numbers, only three dashes. I climbed to
Rick, Your observations are helpful. I did reverse these two pins 9 and 10 and now have readings but they are way off, ranging from 328 to 870! Yes, 870. That indicates the shaft traveled some 540
All, Thanks for the all of the suggestions. I have since found that there are issues with the documentation on my rotor and its actual build details. I have reversed two of the pot connections and
Doug, Thanks for pointing out the A-B shorting instruction. It is referred to when the PCB is replaced which I did not do. So, missed it. Considering the big service loop I now have, I also see n
So, I watched the 2x6 float to earth and decided the TowerJack was a good. idea It worked well and I would recommend it. Good for installs and take downs. So, I also dropped it and it stuck like a
Yeah, ur right! My other bad habit was to climb with using the Klein bole belt bought at the flea market. I now have a real, new, harness and y-type fall arrest lanyard. Always connected. I fixed
