[TowerTalk] CD45 and TR44

[NØATH]

Just one comment on the replacement panel - I have been using a 1/8th" thick piece of aluminum plate to make the panel, and then putting a 1/2" Romex clamp thru the plate with two sides of the nut ground off on the inside. Then I run apiece of rotor cable into the rotor  and wire it according to the way I want the pinout on the outside. I leave 12" to 18" of wire out and put a male octal plug on it and a female octal plug coming from the shack. Takes a wee bit longer the first time but sure is nice from there on. I have used this on my initial installation here and is still working fine after 25 years.
 Just a thought Dave / NØATH
