On the sets I have I had to add about 2 1/2" of copper brasing rod to the rod that is in the center of the tunning capacitor.
Also if you have PL-259s on the cans the "Tees" like to go bad, I had one disintegrate in my hand once. If you have "N" connectors, the solder joints from the connector to the metal plate like to crack with time and tempreture variations, or some one arm stronged it with a pair of pliers. Any way to get the coupling loop out, you need to unscrew the PL-259 on the side of the can and remove the screws holding the plate on top. When re-soldering use Kester 44 solder with 2% silver and a 80 watt soldering iron, not a soldering gun. They work good, but you may want to run a PLL exciter if you are using MASTR-IIs. The PLL is cleaner and will allow less isolation from TX to RX which is what you need with these cans. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "cwbunting" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2003 06:41:51 -0000 >I couldn't get these cans to work with my repeater, I ran out of room >on the rexelite rod when I was trying to tune them.
