[TowerTalk] Rotor Connector

[Jack W Hyder, Jr.]

You might want to try what I am using as a cheap and easy alternative to
the C.A.T.S. connector:  

At a flea market I picked up a couple of 4-terminal wiring connectors
designed to hook up trailer lights to a motor vehicle.  I attached two
ends (a male and a female) to the screw terminal strip on the rotor and
soldered the remaining ends (also a male and a female) to the rotor
cable.  (By using a male and a female connector on each end, you cannot
get the connectors reversed).  This results in a 6-inch pigtail at the
bottom of the rotor.  I covered the terminal strip with tape with coax
seal on top.  (I have done this before and it worked great -- you can
just pull the tape and the coax seal comes right off).  

I believe these wiring connectors are sold by Press  --  The Wireman.

73,
