Sorry, I have not been following this thread but I had the same problem a year or so ago with my T2X. The brake wedge was sticking in the released position. I tried various lubricants without success
Both of my Ham-M's have brake wedges. But the CDR-44 that I used to have had a friction brake, and that friction brake will allow the mast and antennas to turn with enough wind. de Paul, W8AEF
I use a similar thrust bearing. I adjusted mine by loosening the mast clamp on the rotator and turning the antenna back and forth by hand while adjusting the centering bolts until the mast rotated ar
To the best of my knowledge the limit switch bypassing works only of the HDR-300, NOT the T2X. Some hams are able to release a stuck T2X brake by momentarily reversing direction. I cured mine by dres
I have a 4 element long boom yagi on 28MHz at 90 feet and a C3 at 35 feet. There are times when the yagi will outperform the C3, usually if the station is further away, and there are times when the C
I added a winch to the top of my LM-470 so I can raise the mast up far enough to allow easy removal of my T2X (or lower the mast down far enough to work on the antennas). I also installed a U bolt on
DON'T CLIMB IT !! If you are not satisfied that there is no binding between sections and the pull-up cables and pulleys are in good condition then get a bucket truck in and inspect things. Maybe even
I recently sold an LM-470 with a concrete base for over $2000. It had the motor on it and an after market remote up/down panel (no control box, but easily constructed). The concrete bases are still a
Check the water pipe where it comes into the house. Quite often there will be a rubber coupling in the line which kills the ground path. de Paul, W8AEF the could ground
This is a new one on me. I used to have a CD45-II and I recall it used the same direction potentiometer in the rotator head that the Ham-M and T2X's do, which is a wire-wound pot that is very close t
