[TowerTalk] SteppIR Wiring Problem

[Jim Brown]

Crew,

I just got my SteppIR up to 120 ft and it's giving my awful SWR 
readings. In troubleshooting, Using an ohmeter with the control cable 
disconnected from the controller, I'm reading open circuit on one of 
motors for the driven element. All other motors read normal (28 ohms 
from my controller), and they worked fine with that controller and 
that exact piece of cable at 20 ft. For further troubleshooting, I've 
broken the control line at the base of the tower, and the open is 
above that point. I suspect a broken wire or bad splice at the boom, 
but am wondering if there is a limit switch or any other form of 
protection that might have kicked in? 

73,
