I recently bought some replacement traps for my old A3S from MFJ/Cushcraft. Unike the originals, the replacements have no vent holes. Among other problems, the original traps tended to collect moistu

Regardless of how they showed up you still must have vent holes in the traps. I had a MA5B twenty years ago and although it had vent or moisture holes the traps still collected water. Put the traps o

Not sure what Cushcraft/MFJ is doing with the traps now, but, some other manufacturers in the past used sealed traps with a 'bleed hole' at the bottom of an end cap. 73 Don N8DE Regardless of how the

Cushcraft confirms that the traps are supposed to have vent holes, like the originals. I've had to modify the other traps to enlarge the holes and cover them with screen to keep bugs out, so I'll jus

Appears that the so called mishandling of Cushcraft and Hy-Gain antennas and MFJ's inability to correct it is problematic. Everything from the MA6B's with parts missing and wrong tubing lengths to de
