Subject: Front End Saver for Top Band
Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 18:45:14 +
Has anyone built the front end saver by KD9SV or the OK1RR version which uses
12 volt reed relays.
I am attempting to build the 12v version on veroboard and
Rodger,
I built several of them for my station as same as for our local contest
club station and all works like champ. (Martin's version)
State nr. 1
QSK T/R is floating
Re1 - closed
Re2 - open
Re3 - open
In this case ANT port is connected to RX input port and AMP port is
floating.

Hi Grant and Carl,
About 20 years ago, I replaced my steel guy wires on my 80 ft of Rohn 45G with
6700lb Phillystran. At that time the end kits were 4 galvanized cable clamps
and a plastic end cap.
Their instructions said to torque the cable clamps to 25 ft/lbs. I also used
RTV on the end
The only damage on my Yagi antennas from the ice storm we had (about an inch
of radial ice) was to Philliystran struts. In every case the jacket held in
place under the clamps but the strand inside moved. Now I have to rent a
crane with man basket to repair the struts.
The end attachment with
Just a thought, but has anyone checked to see if there is a dead-end / preform
type of grip that will work on the older style phillystran cable? That might
make a better connection than the clamps and thimble setup.
