Does anyone have an idea what reed switch is used in the Spid RAK-1 rotor? Manufacturer and part number? Without actually having the rotor on the bench yet, I think I need to replace the reed switch.

I can't imagine any failure mechanism that would make a reed switch look like 780 ohms all the time. I suggest you investigate other possibilities like a bad cable, etc. If you told me it pulsed, but

He's measuring the resistance of the current limiting resistor (inside the rotor housing) which is in series with the reed switch. This is typical of a lightning strike event that welded the reed swi

Thanks to those who responded both here and in private. Sorry ... I did leave one important thing out which is that the tower took a lightning strike. The XM-240 at the top took the hit and blew out
