[TowerTalk] Cushcraft/MFJ Traps

[Wayne Kline]

Dave ,



The Chushcraft XM240 and   the original 40-2CD   had a  trap  coil problem. Under the heatshrink , the screw conector would develop elotrasiis and loose conductivity.



An easy Fix but required antenna removal ( IMO)



These A3W traps  are as they say a hourse of a different color

Gang,

This why I only ordered parts that did not affect traps when I refurbished my Cushcraft 2 el 40 three years ago.  I merely re-wrapped the original coils from 1982 and they function exactly as before. I also found that the U bolts supplied for my T2X were not the same diameter as the original and my tower guy had me buy stainless U bolts locally as replacements.
