[TowerTalk] HAM IV vs. Tailtwister

[D. Calder]

I too have a Ham V and a TX2. The Ham V is about 15 years old and works like
a charm. The TX2 is one year old, came unpainted,
I primed and painted it and after a year it's about to fall apart
"literally". The metal is deteriorating to the point
it's all white and chalky.

Not built like they used to be.

The rotor at the top?  Easy, TX has 6 bell housing bolts the IV has 5 bolts
that hold the top to the bottom.
All being equal the IV and TX controls are the same, the old controls have
metal cases and the new controls have plastic cases.

How do I know, got duped by a fellow that sold me a IV as a TX before I knew
the difference between the two. Darn jerk went SK before I got my money
back, so every now and then I go and stomp on his grave.

P.S. My first Ham IV is still up on the first tower, it is ~25 years old
never been off the tower, works like a charm every contest weekend twisting
a TH6 all over the place.
