Create rc5a-3 manual

After inventory of all antenna parts on the basement floor I pre-assembled the four boom-sections with only the two inner sections of each element Now this assembly was mounted on the supporting mast The T6 comes with nothing but two holes and screws to attach coax at the feedpoint, a solution which is not good at all!

So I constructed this weatherproof feedpoint-assembly with sliding hood from aluminium stock, PCB material, an SO connector, stainless-steel hardware and grey perspex. This balun-assembly was constructed in the same fashion - the balun is a common-mode choke made of 7 turns of RG coax on two stacked Amidon FT toroid cores.

The feedpoint-assembly with hood, installed at the boom end with the shortest element Except for the balun windings Aircell-7 coax is used. All elements, the feedpoint-assembly, the balun-assemby and the shorting stub at the boom-end with the longest element are installed now.

Anyone know? K8AC , Feb 13, I will often wire around the connector in cases like this, at least temporarily. I'm sorry no one's been able to come up with a better answer, so far. Creative Design Corp. HQ in a Japan. Time to use your Metric Micrometer or Metric ruler. I believe these have a 16mm Shell.

The Hirose is readily available, less expensive, beautifully machined and IMHO a far superior connector and it is waterproof without the boot. Last edited: Feb 14, W9GB , Feb 14, WB5YUZ likes this. W9GB - thanks for all the info. The parts request from Create Designs in Japan is most useful and may go that route in the future for any needed parts.
