I have a yaesu FT-60 handheld that has a noisy volume pot and need to change
it, the nuts have slots on the top side of the nut 180 degrees apart and I can
not get needle nose pliers on them so I need the correct tool.
Anybody know what they are called and where to get one?

What you need is called a spanner wrench and they are made in
various sizes for antenna nuts, pots, etc. There are a couple of
different types, some easier to use and less likely to ding up the nut
than others. The manufacturer of the equipment I worked on had the
appropriate sizes available for
The tool looks like a screw driver. A regular screw driver can be used
to get it to move if it has not already been damaged! The nonmetallic
screwdriver type tool MUST BR USED TO TUNE THE STAGE!

I went to a hardware store and bought a deep-reach socket, then ground down
the one end until I had a tool to remove the nut. The socket cost me about
$1 - you don't need Craftsman or anything high-price for this. Just make

Hi all,
I am about to put up a Telewave Super Station Master up over 1000 ft above
ground on a large tower.
The legs at that level are 5.25 and am in need of hardware for securing the
top and bottom mounts to the legs. I have all except the leg mounting hardware.
I've looked at Tessco and
Tom,
Harbor Freight Tools carries some oddball pin wrenches and snap ring pliers
that work fine on ring nuts.

I think the problem with hose clamps first they are not made for the type of

Laryn,
What kind of analog reception did you get in your area.
Using this same turnstile, four snow-free but often with ghosts, four

You're right, I think the majority of cable providers will be dumping

digital channels.
