Subject: [TowerTalk] Latest Tower Woe -- Short I can't fathom
I'm struggling with my remote control (aka "remote head") on my tower. I
have yet to raise it and it's now a real issue.
Here's the thing: I had carefully (or so I thought) wired from the tower
to the shack. When I applied power to the remote unit, I got a short severe
enough to blow the fuse. I originally thought the fuse somehow came that
way (maybe in transit?) so I blew a second fuse proving the problem was
real.
## Did the REMOTE control box ever work at any time.... or is it a dud right
from the get go ??
## can you still raise AND /OR lower the tower using the control box at the base of the tower ?
## are you sure you have the remote control cable terminated correctly at the tower end ?
