I am reworking my A3 triband antenna.. I need the plastic boots that
fit on ends of each trap..Seems that Cushcraft does not sell them
seperately...Any other sources or ideas ...tnx Harold W4PQW


Found this on eBay

Have no idea if the seller is good or not, just an idea.

Also, you might want to call MFJ.
I believe the traps on the Hy-Gain and Cushcraft three element beams are the
same size.
You could call and ask to be sure.
If so, I was able to buy a complete set for a real old TH-66DX a few years
ago with no problems.
Worth a phone call anyway.

Good luck finding the trap caps.

I have the same problem. I wonder how bad I really need them. They
have been missing quite a while and $24 seems a little pricey for
bottle caps.
