PAT WHY AREN’T YOU UP HERE?

 

 LOOK MA NO HANDS

 

  

NOW THIS IS ALL BECAUSE I DID NOT CHECK THE POWER HANDLING OF THE FEED-LINE LMR 400 AT 2M IS ONLY RATED AT 1200W, IF YOU RUN LEGAL LIMIT 1500W YOU WILL EXCEED THE LIMIT AND IT WILL MELT DOWN, WHEN IT DID THE DIELECTRIC MELTED PULLED THE CENTER PIN OF THE N CONNECTOR DOWN AND NOW I HAD AN OPEN THAT ARCED AND SPARKED THIS THEN TOOK OUT THE POWER DIVIDER, I DID NOT KNOW THAT AT THE TIME AND RANDY REPLACED THE LMR 400 WITH ½ INCH SUPER-FLEX RATED AT 2500 WATTS AT 2M, BUT THEN IT BROKE AGAIN NOT KNOWING THAT THE POWER DIVIDER HAD MELTED DOWN ALSO WHEN THE ARCHING AND SPARKING WAS GOING ON, THIS IN TURN TOOK OUT A ½ INCH SUPER-FLEX CONNECTOR AND 7/8 CONNECTOR, I ORDERED A NEW POWER DIVIDER, RANDY AND BOB CAME OVER AND REPLACED THE POWER DIVIDER,1/2 INCH AND 7/8 CONNECTOR
