- Oh that's easy: 'cuz UST sez replace 'em every 3 years :-) (even though they supply zero documentation on the cables). I was supposed to replace mine in 1987. I'll get around to it one of these days

- As an aside to this thread, just a week ago today, my TX-472 MDPL renested itself in about 3 seconds when the cable you're speaking of broke. I saw the whole thing happen. I was raising the tower fro

- I can only echo Jim's statements! A couple of weeks ago, my much older HDX-572 re-nested in the same manner, except I was in the house, so don't know exactly why. My 4 element quad survived well (sur
