Hypothetically speaking, suppose I^H someone accidently hooked up the battery in my^H^H an 8103 backwards and let the magic smoke out. Suppose the diode got burnt and needed to be replaced. What is the spec for the diode on the power board? -Ben RCSE-List facilities provided by Model

Title: Re: [RCSE] SuperStands, 'A Must Have' item for keeping I got mine at Vislia years ago and its still serving me! I saw the versions that Tom has and they are improved. The stand has less metal which makes it a lot lighter in the Sportube and probably draws less attention in the Xray

Yea, I know about the fuse, but there is also a diode on the same module as the fuse. It's completely toast. Andrew E. Mileski wrote: Ben Diss wrote: Hypothetically speaking, suppose I^H someone accidently hooked up the battery in my^H^H an 8103 backwards and let the magic smoke out.

Hi Gordy, On my Pike Superior, I simply doubled the length of the antenna (to 2 meters, 1/2 wave instead of 1/4 wave as discussed on the Samba site), and let the excess (about 2 feet) hang out the rear of the fuse (what's inside the fuse is in a tube to prevent abrasion and possible
