And the Green Heron is so much easier to use than the 2800 controller. Use the pot to select where you wan t the rotor to turn to or use the two push switches to manually rotate. 73, N2TK, Tony --Ori
Mike, You may want to try NCG Co. in Anaheim, CA. 714-630-4541. Just received a gear I had ordered from them for my RC5B-3. I understand they are distributors for Create, at least for rotor parts. N2
Are the 97517A015 (AD42H203 - old number) from McMaster's the same as what Force 12 uses? N2TK, Tony Also just for informational purposes.....keep in mind that the type of rivets used by FORCE 12 for
Anthony, When I assembled my Force 12 antennas I coated the insulators with black liquid tape. After several years they still look like new. None of the rivets have loosened on any of the antennas. I
Joe, By any chance have you run the numbers for the MonstIR too? 73, N2TK, Tony It is relatively easy to do that comparison for yourself if you already have the second edition of the K7LXC/N0AX "Trib
Davis RF is one source. http://www.davisrf.com/rotorcab.php N2TK, Tony Anyone know where I can purchase Direct Burial Rotor Cable? Thanks! Dick- K9OM ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______
Is there a simple way to calculate the voltage at the feedpoint? As an example, say I wanted to find out what kind of voltage I should expect at the feedpoint of a 40M dipole when it is being driven
For JIT to work well, someone at the beginning of the food chain can't believe in JIT and must stock parts so everyone else down the chain can benefit from JIT. If not, then you have the headaches de
Hi Tim, I had my Warc-7 at 104'. I especially liked having 2 elements on 30M. Had no problems with the antenna. Initially it took some playing with to get it resonant in the middle of 30M. I got gree
Hi Tim, When I first assembled my WARC-7 I got the following resonances in the shack with the antenna at 104' and using 250' of 7/8" hard line. 25.13 - 1.1:1 17.8 - 1.2:1 9.77 - 1.1:1 The coil spacin
I do not have the manuals for these rotors and I didn't find the info I needed on Yaesu's web site. What bulb is used for the dial lamp? Can the 2700 be changed from North end-of-rotation to South en
Hi Bob, Besides going direct to Create, I have used the following for Create parts. NCG COMPANY 1275 North Grove Street, Anaheim, California, 92806-2114, U. S. A. Person in Charge: Mr. Mick Stewertni
Hi Dick, I had this problem many years ago with a 40-2CD. It turned out to be corrosion between the coil and element. I cut back the covering over the coil so the screw was exposed. There was corrosi
Hi Gerald, Based on SteppIR's manual I first wrapped an element joint with electrical tape then covered it with fusing tape for UV protection of the underlying tape. This seems to be the opposite of
I have had a few BN-86's fail with the core breaking. I do not know if that was due to lightning, transmitting on the wrong band or that it just couldn't handle 1500W. Replaced some with BN-2000 HyGa
Hi Alex, Keep the XM240 and C3 as far apart as possible to minimize interaction, especially on 15M. Put the 6M beam in the middle. I would think the Ham IV should handle this, depending if you get hi
Can someone tell me if the antenna side of the ICE 196 is a capacitor or coil? When I took off the cover to change from 1/4" phono to F connectors, the cover fell so I am not sure which way is the in
If you have a good condition TB-3 that you want to part with, let me know condition and price. Tnx N2TK, Tony _______________________________________________ _________________________________________
I found I had some intermittent changes in SWR on 160M (shunt feeding the tower). I put a grounding strap from the mast to the top of the tower (across the TB-3). SWR has been stable since. Have not
Hi Jerry, Instead of sanding my surface rust I used two coats of Rust Bullet. It has been on the tower only two years. So can't comment on longevity. But it still looks like new. 73, N2TK, Tony What
