[Towertalk] Refurbishing Trt-banders

[jimsmith@shaw.ca (Jim Smith)]

If the clamps you are talking about are like the ones on the TH3 in 
which a screw presses against the outer element forcing a dimple into 
the inner element, do what Hy-Gain says and drill the dimples out. 
 However, you have may have to use a much bigger drill size than they 
recommend in the TH3 manual.  Worked for me on TH3.

Hope this helps
