    Lee:

        I have a HyGain T2X that has been in operation for about 30 years.
All I have ever done to it is replace the "motor" control capacitor in the
shack mounted control box.  For ten years it turned a HyGain TH-7 with a
Cushcraft A3WS ten feet above it.  Haven't had a single problem with it.

        For anyone who has an Alpha Spid, I have a question.  I went to
their website and looked at their specification chart.  I noticed that there
are 3 different Alpha Spid ratings depending on the control voltage.  I
didn't notice any different model numbers, so is the control voltage
selectable?  If not, what are the differences in the three?

        TIA.

                73,


                Bernard, WA4OEJ
