I have PolyPhaser coax and control-line surge protectors, but they were all purchased before the company became part of the Smiths Group (to which Transtector -- of which I had not heard previously -
Now that I have looked again at ICE's document comparing their devices with PolyPhaser's, and at the description of the Polyphaser devices on the DX Engineering Web site, I see that both say that Pol

A few years ago on Long Island Verizon dug up one of their own optical fiber cables that wasn't where their drawings said it was. Of course there were redundant circuits -- but all in the same bundle
Anyone bought from AllRFCables.com? They are advertising "similar to LMR600" cable marked "RFC600" for what seems like a good price -- if it's good quality. 73 Alan NV8A _____________________________
Anybody bought connectors from Coax Warehouse in Hacienda Heights, CA? E.g.: http://cgi.ebay.com/Type-N-male-clamp-male-connector-LMR-400-9913-10pcs-/370375243932?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item563c1
Mike's figure of 3973 is for all who have dealt with this seller, irrespective of the products they have purchased. Your figure of 4 is for the 10-packs specifically. Somewhere in between is an unkno

You don't say what kind of tower it is, but Norm's Fabrication (which I think is located in Clinton Twp., Michigan) exhibits all kinds of add-ons for Rohn towers at hamfests in Michigan and probably
I retired before I ever started. :-) I was planning to get a fixed tower I would have to climb, but my dear wife said, "Even if it costs a lot more, buy one you don't have to climb." I now have a cra
A few years back I was considering one of these, but one of the long-time "inhabitants" of this reflector -- a tower installer in another part of the country (so he wasn't going to be getting any bus
I stand corrected. My memory failed me. It was the Aluma towers that were so described. Alan NV8A _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tower
I ordered my US Tower crank-up with the cable standoffs that are made for it. They bolt to the top plate of each section. The only place U-bolts could be used is at the top of the top section. 73 Ala
I don't think I'd encountered the suggestion to use a PVC sweep to ease the strain on the cables. I used "Kellem grips," secured by small hose clamps to the loop on the top standoff, to suspend the c
The US Tower catalog on line seems to be exactly the same as the printed one I got before I bought my tower -- copyright date is 1986!! Although it shows U-bolt-attached standoffs, what I received we
A few years ago I.C.E. was being offered for sale -- on eBay! I don't remember well enough to be sure of the "Buy it now" price, but ISTR that it was high. 73 Alan NV8A ______________________________
I see that there are different models for <30MHz and >30MHz. Any idea how the <30MHz one would perform on 6m? Since the RX2 input on my FLEX-5000A is used for everything through 6m, having two separa
Did you buy the tower and the winch separately? my HDX-555 came with the winch already installed. Is it possible that the mounting fixture for the hand winch does not suit the MDP-750? 73 Alan NV8A _
