RE: [amsat-bb] G-5400B L-bracket question

["Joel B. Black" <jbblack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just got a 5400 for Christmas and it didn't have the "L" bracket (I'm assuming you're speaking of the bracket that connects the two rotators together).  It's more like a "U" bracket - each end is bent 90 degrees and attaches to both sides of the elevation rotator.  Hopefully, with this particular bracket, I won't have this problem.  You may try ordering one or having one made.  Just my 2 cents...

Thanks.

I just bent the L-bracket about 22 degrees on my 5400. It was caused by the
cable for polarity switching on the 22C snagging on a tower bolt during a
high EL pass. I can't believe the boom to mast clamp on the beam didn't slip
first. Or the cross boom clamps...

Is this a typical problem with these rotors?
