I've emailed two or three times in the last couple of weeks with no response. I haven't tried to call yet. Jim N7US --Original Message-- Anybody had any live dealings with Rob at Idiom Press in the l
I received an email from Rob a few days ago, and we had another email exchange after that. He sent some replacement parts for my LogiKit CMOS-4 keyer (purchased in 2002!) immediately after that, and
Clint, I have the old ones too, and I still have the data sheet that came with them. Model R-T and LT - "for use with solid state receivers, transceivers or transmitters running up to 200 watts outpu
Does anyone know why US Tower now has a snow or ice warning on their website? http://www.ustower.com/subpages/ham-towers.php Jim N7US _______________________________________________ _________________
I moved my HDX589MDPL, including a 20' Chromalloy mast, three times when I relocated. It went into the moving van with furniture and other stuff and was "swallowed up." It was tied down inside so it
I have an HDX-589 (with the older Z-bracing) through the procedure would be the same with any similar tower. I didn't remove the antennas or the 20' mast. I have only tilted my tower over when I have
How old are you? How's your health? How long to do expect to own the tower? I previously had a Hy-Gain 72' HG-70HD that wasn't positive pull-down and wasn't motorized. It took more time to crank it u
My well is on the other side of my house from the tower. The tower is about 60' from the house and probably 175' from the tower. I suffered a major strike, and my well water was cloudy for two weeks.
I bought a replacement RMC-1000 remote control package with limit switches for my HDX-589 last June. Both limit switches are Allen-Bradley Cat. No. 802T-AP Ser. J. The original switches were differen
Dick, In answer to the last question, US Tower sells a hand crank. It is mounted to a round plate with bolts and nuts and fits into, more or less, the pulley on the gearbox. It is difficult to keep i
Larry, I used to have a Hy-Gain HG-70HD, which had a manual winch. I don't have the specs, but I don't think that's what you have. That tower does not have positive pull-down, so the winch and cable
Another, I think more likely, possibility, given the Phoenix real estate situation these days (the one posted below is in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix), is the ham owner lost the house in a foreclos
On my US Tower HDX-589 I use factory coax standoff arms, with a 90-degree PVC sweep on the top one arm to minimize strain from the weight of the hanging cables. I use the US Tower inverted vee hanger
The Kellem Grips look easier to use than my PVC sweep. I used a 2" gray, electrical PVC which runs through the loop at the end of the coax arm. My tower and arms are 1994 vintage, and I think the new
I used one and noticed no noise at all. Jim N7US --Original Message-- Hello, What do you guys think about ICE RF limiter (http://www.iceradioproducts.com/reconly.html#rflimiter)? I need to protect my
I'm aware of the current situation of ICE, but in the past every problem I've had with an ICE product has been fixed/replaced by ICE free of charge, Jim N7US --Original Message-- http://tinyurl.com/4
I have a 4L SteppIR. I'd guess a bad coax or something similar too, but you can easily check the EHUs from your shack with an ohmmeter, and you can measure the voltage output of the controller. I use
Is my assumption correct that using grout under a US Tower T-base makes it impossible to remove and reuse the T-base if the tower is relocated? Or does the T-base not adhere to the grout? My tower ha
John, One way is to use brackets from DX Engineering http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=3320&PLID=105&SecID=94&DeptID=19&P artNo=DXE-CGB-150 . I have one but haven't used it yet. I have a DX E
