Does the job!

Time owned: more than 12 months

I installed 2 of these on the base of the tower, one for the rotator, and, one for the antenna control cable.
I had asked for help in the Tower Forum about what would cause my Yaesu G-1000DXA rotator to turn very slowly in one direction & gotten several suggestions that didn't work..This past Friday, John W2GD & myself were trying to figure this out, when we decided to check the MOVs in the surge suppressor for the rotator. He removed the cable wires from the lugs, & checked each lug from lug to ground. All were showing open (as should) except 3, which showed continuity. He reinstalled the cable wires to good spare lugs & the rotator now work's great. The Array Solution Surge Supressor had done it's job (evidently the tower must've taken an indirect hit during the summer). I just ordered 3 replacement MOVs from Array Solutions for $5 ea. Easy to install & worth the money.

This is one of those reviews where the proof will be in the pudding. The install has its quirks, the tower is 66 feet from mast top to base with a Force 12 XR-5 and a 3 E 6M beam. A Ham IV rotates the 2 inch mast. A surge unit is tied in at the base of the tower and the headend of the install. Give it some time being located in Florida-Tampa. Time will tell on the setup if it makes it. The headend location is on the second floor, capacitance will be an issue on the install.
visit n9rlr.com for more info and pics.
another posting will follow after hurricane season '09.
But for the untested it is easy to install and has the brackets to install easier than polyphaser or I.C.E units.

Everyone knows that the weather has been strange lately. Well my new antenna system had a "surge instance" with a nearby lightening hit during the IARU contest weekend. My AS-8SP no doubt saved me from potentially replacing my ProSisTel 61D controller. 3 of 5 suppressors blew and saved the day. I moved the three lines to the remaining three unused connections and will now order replacement parts to be prepared if it happens again. Many thanks to Jay for his support and the great equipment at Array Solutions.
