Terry, thanks for the response.
It appears the same symptoms can be produced by several different problems.
I am pulling the tower down today and looking for water in the connector. I
don't expect that is the problem - but it is worth checking.
Others have mentioned the possibility of a mechanical failure, and now you
have mentioned the possibility of a circuit board.
It seems to me that there ought to be a way to trouble shoot and narrow down
the problem?
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I use the beam quite often for
the Hurricane Watch Net, and have a day between hurricanes which gives me
time to check it out, but then I will have to put it back up - in order to
use the station.
