HYgain 18-AVT
Question is, what can I use as a substitute, I have tried truck wheel
cylinder boots, but the carbon in them upsets the apple cart. Can you use pieces of suitably-large-diameter heatshrink tubing... pick a piece comfortably larger in diameter than the innards of the trap, slide it over, and heat it gently with a hairdryer just sufficiently to shrink it to the necessary size? The safest size to use would probably start out at roughly 2x the diameter of the trap guts... it'd be a snug fit when fully shrunk. Heatshrink tubing is available in multiple colors... I imagine that some types of the black variety might have some carbon-black in it, but it's also available in white and other dyed colors which ought to have pretty good RF properties. Otherwise, talk to your local general-purpose professional plastics supplier, and see what kind of tubing they have in stock. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
