I have had the misfortune of a cable breaking on my US Tower HDX-589. The fall from 89 feet to 23 feet didn't hurt it, but the stop at the bottom was a killer! I am in the process of fabricating 5 ne

Bill, Sorry to hear about the cable failure. I have the US Tower HDX-589MDPL and had mine recabled 6 years ago by Skip, KJ6Y. His business is tower installation and repair. He has done a lot of work

I had a similar experience when the drive chain broke on a friends HDX-589. Incredibly poor design to put the weakest link (the chain) in the drive line after the worm drive. It really makes me appre

Don't mean to lead the topic astray, but were there any signs of cable wear before the accident? Maybe the rest of us can prevent a future mess... Chris KF7P _________________________________________

Hi Chris: There was some superficial rust on one spot of a cable. This spot was on the top of a pulley where the cable spent most of its time when up. HOWEVER, this is not the spot where the cable br

Bill - what was the HDX-589 supporting? Rotor, mast, antennas? I almost purchased one recently, but someone beat me to it as I was waiting for a call back to go look at it. Maybe I was lucky! Larry -

Dear All, I am looking for a step by step instruction how to replace the #9 base cable. I talked to USTOWER but they don't have anything like that. Thanks, Lali, VE3NE _______________________________

Lali, I have replaced the main lift cable twice on my UST-589. The last time was about 6 years ago, and my memory is not perfect but I can give you the "basic idea". I don't recall all the details, b
