Notes on DX Engineering RX Four Square

31 January 2011

While putting antenna away after CQWW 160 CW, noted that the amp # 2 coax connector was turning in the body. W8WTS opened the amp and found broken connections and significant corrosion. WTS is taking all four amplifier boxes back to Ohio for rehab and ultrasonic cleaning. All other parts are still on Curacao. Possible that K8ND will swap in his good receivers for these that are corroded. The central distribution box was opened and found to be 100% OK.

K8ND and W8WTS felt that the system was inop in the 160 meter contest and brought the boxes back to the States for repair. WTS cut new precision phasing lines, Units were then sent to DX Engineering with no problems found. Click here for that service report. They gave us a new RFS-2 (the center box) as a gift. Equipment will be returned to Curacao November 2015 with W8WTS.
