Greetings to all -
This afternoon myself and Dave Cain, W1DEC will be helping a fellow list
member pick up his new (to him) T-368 transmitter. Knowing that this is
no small task nor one to be taken err.....'lightly', I am soliciting
comments from those of you who have recently or previously obtained a
T-3 to go along with your R-390s or just hold the house down. My
experience is limited to the RF deck I wrassled into the upstairs of the
carriage house after saving it from being turned into an antenna tuner
and scrap metal. I have a pick-up truck, appliance dolly/hand truck,
rope, and bungie cords(just in case) so we should be pretty well set for
tying it up once we capture it. I'm mainly curious to know if there are
any pitfalls to avoid like tubes that catch when sliding out section, or
any special sequences of events we should follow. Our plan is to remove
each deck from the cabinet, put the cabinet in the truck, then reinstall
the decks for the trip to prevent them sliding around or being damaged
in any way.
Any helpful hints will be appreciated. We're off to retreive it in
about 5 hours.
Thanks -
