I've always had excellent results using a small length of 4" sched 40 plastic sewer line with 6 wraps of coax held in place by zipties. Worked perfect every time for me.

Strange. I've ordered a few times and received good quick response and some very god advice from him. Super nice guy. Something must have happened.

This was back in about 68 or 69 so I'm sure any surviving merch is long gone. But someone did open the store and have a few years of a Felton's fire sale going.

I had one of these way back mid 90s that would do something very strange. Never figured it out before I sold it. Had one that if I turned RF gain down, it would turn down the RF power at the same time. Weird.

Also, they use a little bulb on the board as a fuse for the receiver. Have no idea of the logic behind this, but it may not be a bad idea to replace the bulb or your receive may go out.

I didn;t read the tech manual above or watch the vid, but I've owned about 10 of these and the best upgrade you can make on these is to remove that soldered in battery and extend it with wire and use a replaceable 2032 covered in shrink tube. Also, there's a heat sensor used to to turn the fan...

Was looking for the variable caps on the older ones for the input and output Tunes. It's not that big of a deal, really, it's just something my buddy had laying around Betty blew up, but we came across a couple of good output transistors so we figured we play around to see if we can get it working.

I know this is an ancient thread, but does anyone have any idea the power handling capability of this switch? I have one, but I can't find any of my documentation for it.

I don't think so. I never heard him say that

That's too bad. He has a lot of knowledge he could share here. He was assisting me and guiding me through a little project I have going with an old 250 and just disappeared.

Barkett has nothing left. Gatekeeper had the stuff and a small mod he was going to tell me about for a DX 250 but I ne4ver got back to him. Now, I want to get the project finished and I can't find him.

Anyone know what happened to Gatekeeper? Hasn't submitted a video to you tube in 6 months and didn't answer my text. He's got a bunch of Texas Star parts and I'm trying to find a supplier for a few pieces.

Thanx! I can see how some folks would love to get in there and start turning crap! LOL

Just for curiosity sake, how does one access the service menu in the quad 6 pro?

You don't know the rest of the story about the 955 with the beefed up finals that I HAD at one time. Those finals were a test and they turned out to be not suited for running an amp. Yes, they could be turned down far enough to drive it, no issues. BUT, they were extremely sensitive when keying...

That sounds like an excellent deal, depending on the cost of shipping. I am absolutely interested as I am going to mount the rotator inside the tower with a thrust bearing on top anyway. The only load it will carry is the wind load area of 3.3 Sq/Ft. Let me know what you find out and if you...

That's what I was thinking but want to make sure. The wind load spec is only 3.3 Sq/Ft so I'm hoping a small, light rotator will do.

I appreciate the discussion and shared info on my thread looking for a beam. Great bunch of guys here! The next question is obvious. What would be the best rotor for the money to use on this antenna. I have absolutely no aspirations of upgrading, because I absolutely do not have room. I'm going...

As I said, I've seen reports of a solder Joint breaking on the end of the coil. You've got to take that outer case off and look at the way the coil is mounted

You're welcome. I've heard something about the solder joint breaking away from the coil on these.
