Re: Diamond Antenna MX62M
The other thing you need to be certain of is that there is a DC path through the diplexer from the HF port to the antenna port so that the ATAS antenna can be controlled from the radio. 73¡­.Eric

Re: Radio Pigtail
Don't apply voltage to the brown wire, it might not end well. Page 32 of the user's manual specifies connecting it to ground. Randy (KE5EOT, WRJS252) ARRL, QCWA, ARES, RACES, ROWH

Re: Radio Pigtail
If connected to the 13.8 volt supply it puts the radio into low power mode, If I remember correctly 20 watts.

Re: Radio Pigtail
If you ground the brown wire that maximum power output is reduced to 20 watts. It was first used in the 897. When the battery was installed, the power was reduced to 20 watts to lengthen battery life.

Re: Radio Pigtail
Can you tell me what the brown wire is for in the connector?

Re: Radio Pigtail
This is the plug that is on the power pigtail. It is called a HF 6 plug. The side that is chassis mounted is quite often the real problem as they wear are jerked around and not replaced. Here is a

Re: Radio Pigtail
You have to make sure the locking mechanism inside the powerpoles is engaged. Sometimes it takes a little extra push to get that "click" that ensures that the connector is all the way in. Once it's

Perfect, ordered Antenna and plexer! Going to be alot of fun cycling and doing HF!

Re: Radio Pigtail
I did just that. I used #12 wire and found it sufficient. Just about everything I have around here that runs off 12 volts DC uses 30A Powerpoles. 73, Zack W9SZ wrote:

Re: Diamond Antenna MX62M
I posted the original and I am trying to put my 857 on my trike with an ATAS 120. Maybe I am looking at the wrong item. I need one of them to link both outputs from the radio to the single ATAS

Re: Diamond Antenna MX62M
Don ... Be sure you know the difference between a duplexer and a diplexer. They are not the same and often confused. What, exactly, are you wanting to accomplish? 73, Kent K9ZTV

At that point, I'd replace the pigtail with Powerpoles. I use silicone jacket wire from the hobby shop, either 10 AWG or 12 AWG, in red & black. The contacts are Metric, standard Molex connectors are
