I've got just one tip. Whenever I do Rotor maintenance I test it on the bench before taking it up the tower! -- You might be a computer RedNeck if: You order your new pickup truck with a gun rack and

Yes, I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get it back up. I didn't have a pigtail made up to match the socket on the bottom of the rotor. I had the plug here but didn't take the time to make it u

Absolutely. I put a Molex connector on a three foot long cable from the rotator box which connects to the molex connector on the 50' cable run to the garage antenna patch panel, where it meets yet an

Hi Dale, Saw your post on the TT about the Molex plugs for rotor cable. I'm in the process of putting a feedthru panel in the new shack and I'm looking for a source for a double female bulkhead style

Hi, Jeff. I put molex plugs in place years ago. They are available at most electronic parts outlets, even Radio Shack. Now that the Amp connector seems to be the connector of choice for the rotator,

The main problem with Molex plugs is that they get water in them easily and are very hard to waterproof. I tried them once & had to give up on them for that reason. 73 - Alan NS0B -- FAQ on WWW: http

and I used them in New Hampshire on a 90 foot tower through two years of snow and ice and rain, etc. I had no problems though I took care to suspend them under the rotor for protection and taped the

Same with Orion connectors. The *cure* is to use good ole Scotch 33 or 88 in the approved configuration and then paint the tape with Liquid Electrical Tape. This is a virtual 100% bombproof technique

This won't be threaded right because I grabbed it from Steve's post. However... I wouldn't sweat the connector too much. If you're a perfectionist, sure, do your thing. But I ran for 20 years on the

Hi Steve! I saw something at Home Depot called 'Electrical Coating' from 3M - it comes in a can with a brush attached to the lid. It is thick and golden-brown. Is that similar to 'Liquid Electrical T

It sounds like ScotchKote. While prescribed by some communications manufacturers, it is actually designed for buried connections and doesn't have much in the way of UV resistance. I've gone up on lot

That product is "Scotchkote" and is designed to go over vinyl electrical tape to seal the edges and prevent weathering. A method we used in the Coast Guard to weatherproof connectors was to wrap the
