[TowerTalk] Ham IV rotor control box

[Bill Hider (N3RR)]

My Ham IV manual, page 20, says that the resistance across terminals 1 and 2
should read .4 Ohms.
I see no place where resistance should be 4 Ohms.
My HAM IV manual is dated 1 Aug 84 and is PN 801935-1, S/N 84348

Bill, N3RR

My Tailtwister manual says .4 ohm. I think your manual
has a typo.
