[TowerTalk] Replacing cable on crankup

[Alan Swinger]

I just did this w/ a US Tower TX 472 MDP . . . which has a poitive pull-down. In fact, I pd the UST guys to do it - too hard for me. The issues are many, but if a pos pull down you have a loaded spring, so come-alongs are needed to take the pressure off. That said, if your tower does not have the pull-down tension, go for it. - Alan K9MBQ
