That sounds like the least after config trouble, so once I get the A back running, I put a motor with about 3x the holding power on it this afternoon, and am how looking for a gs16-5 male inline to hook its home switch up in removeable config, using the extra contacts for a hey I'm here (or not) tally. They seem to be similar to hens teeth in availability, and I may be forced to make a back shell for the panel mount version. I have a dozen or so of that. But I'm busy in the morning, our local daytimer finally bought a new transmitter to replace his 60 yo gates 1kw, got a license to goto 2500 watts. He bought a BE, but he asked me about a hot ferrite on the output transmission line today n the grocery store parking lot. I've known he had an swr problem, loading out of tuning range that was perfect when it was installed. When he mentioned it was way too hot to touch, all the red flags in my mind went to the top of the pole. Ferrites have a very low curie temperature, some below 100C. If excited when at or above the curie point, they are permanently ruined, often turning into so much air forever. So I need to take my IR thermometer up and measure it, then call BE and ask them whats the curie point of the junk they used. I'd almost bet its running hotter than that, and that its an indicator they need to retune the antenna matcher. In addition to replaceing that one with a good one. Its target practice for my 6.5 Creedmoor, sure as hell. And I don't have the rf bridge to do that. I may wind up buying one yet, but bring around $1500 for a modern, even draws smith charts version of that puppy. If I do, I'll have to drum up some business to pay for it. Redpitaya has such a kit, 900 euro's. 799 for the ultimate kit + 100 more for the network vector analyzer. Dunno what the exchange rate or the VAT brings it up to. Or how long to get it across the pond. The life of a trying to retire broadcast engineer. My 1st phone is older than the guys designing this stuff today. It dates from 1962!
