[TowerTalk] rotor

[john at kk9a.com]

I think most of us have made the mistake of soldering on a connector and
forgetting to slip on the housing, washer, etc.  I usually just do it over
and make it right.  If you paid someone to make your cables they should
make them right. The rubber boot is nice on Yaesu connectors, although it
does not completely seal it and I would use a little silicone around the
outside, just a little so it's still easy to remove. If you split the
boot, I don't think it will be very effective. I never used loctite on the
bolts.

question for all... I am changing out my tailtwister for a Yaesu g1000 and
bought a pre-made cable with ends already installed but the cover for the
plug didn't get put on the cable so no way to add it now with out cutting
it half in two. So thinking about putting silicon and then putting over
that with the cover split in two.... so what is recommended silicon...
several different types available. Also should i put lock tit on bolts
mounting rotor to tower plate... what color? Thanks, 73's Cort K4WI
