Does anybody know if the DX100B was planned to be used with a SSB adaptor
sometime in the future by Heath? The one I have has a fuse installed to power
a 12 volt xfmr for the PTT, and it is in a hole that is obviously punched by
Heath for an SO239. There is another SO239 installed near the
Yes the DX-100B was setup to be used with what became the SB-10 SSB adapter.

I am going to need to have some tree work done before long.? At the present
time, my antennas are held up in lower limbs by cords I have gotten over limbs
by various methods.? I keep looking up higher at the tall pines and wondering
if I could employ a tree climber to mount some kind of
John,
Forget trying to cast a weight over a limb with a rod and reel. That
combination is designed for distance, not height. It will take many
tries to get a good placement, if you ever do.
The combination of a wrist sling-shot and an spinning reel will do the
trick far more easily and
Use twice as much rope. It's still cheaper than a climber and much safer.
Get one rope up and over the high limb first. (Slingshot/fishing reel method
or your choice. This one is to get the pulley up where it's needed.)
Attach a pulley by its swivel to one end. Put second rope through pulley
Hi John I used a Eucalyptus tree for an antenna support while living in
an apartment while I was going through the big D in the 90's.
Here is my writeup which may give you some ideas.

There should be 3 SO-239 connectors: 2 for the SoB-10 and 1 for the antenna.
There should be and extra switch usually mounted near the lower right hand
corner of the front panel.

I had the tree trimmers do that 20 years ago, its still up there.
I don't use that tree to hold an antenna up anymore, but the pulley and rope
are still there.
Worked very well.

John: Me too - the point is, if the trimmers are there anyway, extra cost is
small to zero.
Used a small length of chain, w/ poly tubing over it to spare the pine limb and
a shackle to close the loop - small pulley with marine rope. Did this after
our Rita scare 3-1/2 years ago; now I
Get a Sherrill Big Shot industrial slingshot and put those ropes way up
there.

When you put the pulley up at the top of pine tree make sure it is a good
quality one and test the uphaul line on it to make sure that everything is
sized right and the line under load can't jam between the pulley sheave and
the pulley housing.
I've found that the antenna system if tethered
