Well I bought a CushCraft A3S a couple of years ago and I am wanting to put it up and use it. The problem is that when the ham took it down he didn't mark any of the traps as to which they were or where they went. I called MFJ/CUSHCRAFT and didn't get much help. I sent an email this morning requesting more help. I have tried to use my Heath GD-1B and I am not having any luck finding the resonant frequency of the traps. I am assuming that the longest traps are for 15M and the shorter are for 10M but I have been known to be WRONG.
I can't figure out why CUSHCRAFT didn't mark these traps with some type of marking that would last. The book says that they have a arrow on them and I guess CC just stuck a paper tape on and run it on out the door.
Does anybody out there have a idea of what frequency that the traps will resonate at or an idea of how to ID the traps for sure?
You can bet on 2 things, The Sun will come up in the morning and if and when I ID these traps they will be engraved with the trap model and the arrow.
