- 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

- That's interesting. It is hard to understand how the contacts could be welded without burning out the resistor... Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ ___________________________
