Hi All Hams

I picked up a TA-33 beam over the weekend.

I see only one set of traps for the tribander, Could someone tell how
they get the thing to work with just one set of traps?

I guess I expected a set of traps for 15 and 10.

You can always give Mosley a call for any parts that you may need.

There is only one SET of traps per element on the TA-33 series of antenna.

Ten meters the traps act as decoupling.
The fifteen and twenty windings are internal, with the outside aluminum can
forming the capacitator.

In other words a total of six traps for the three element tri-bander.

Hope that helps, considering all the smart arsed comments it should.
