[TowerTalk] Rotor cable / Steppir cable connectors

[Don]

Amen, nothing fails here except when in the middle of rain and wind storm 
which luckily only occurs between 1 January and 31 December. Chipping the 
salt out of the screw head drives isn't easy either.  I am in the midst of a 
rotator replacement in my HG-70HD now and it is NOT a simple task. The last 
thing I want to screw with is screws.

The_Man asked, "Why would anyone want to install quick disconnects?"
Those were our reasons.
But another important reason we omitted is: You don't always get to do a
rotor replacement during ideal weather.
We wouldn't do this now, but back in the day, we once replaced a rotor in
15 deg weather when some Rare_One
we needed was going to be on that day. Also, the pile-up won't wait while
one fiddles with 8 screws.....73, Don  N7EF
