I have an AS455G plate that had TB3 installed in 1998. It was taken off a tower that was located near the Gulf Coast. Upon removal of the TB3, it was discovered there was no rust in the holes. There
Your original should be just fine. Just take it apart, un-solder the wires, clean the pins and re-solder new cable. That plug is expensive because it is made by a company such as AMP (mil-spec stuff)
I have a Rohn catalog. There is a note by the AS25G that indicates the hole pattern may be modified to accommodate various rotors and other appliances (e.g. TB3-TB4). I read this as "user drilled." K
Force 12 is a long-established antenna development company that plows much of their income back into developing new antennas. SteppIR has an excellent design and is trying to get a foothold in the in
Yes, it is an excellent appliance operator's antenna, although a bit pricey. Also detrimental to have support if one is not adept at solving problems associated with a complex feed system. Keith NM5G

No need to bash F12, or any other reputable (still in business after several years) ham radio dealer. Those folks are all we have to supply us with equipment we desire. BTW, I offer testimonial to th
ROTFLMAO! Bet that would bend a few meter needles. <grin> Keith NM5G And there's a demanding test for the IP3 of all of your receivers' front ends... I assume you plan on running a kilowatt on each b
I have two of the F12 antennas. Both have the relay box for CW/SSB switching. They were difficult to tune, but offer stellar performance once tuned properly. Keith NM5G This is an absolute no brainer
What method other than coax is there to connect an unbalanced signal? Does this answer the question? Keith NM5G Okay, I have what must be a stupid question. I say that because I have looked for an an
