I noticed some issues with my KLM 22C a few days ago. SWR seems to be off, and polarity switching seems to do nothing with AO-7's downlink, so I'm thinking there might be an issue with my phasing harness assembly. I took a close look at my 15 year old 22C and noticed the harness appears to be connected , but the circuit board looks to be in very poor condition, after so many years of service. So, does anyone have any experience successfully rebuilding, or finding a suitable replacement for the phasing harness board assembly? Or worst case, is their another 13 dBdc plus gain cross yagi on the market that would be a good replacement? I'm looking at the 2MCP22 by M2, I was just wondering if their were some other choices. Any and all useful information would be appreciated.

Jeff, I recently took my antennas off my roof and gave the antenna a rework and cleaning of the phasing harness PCB. It needed it too! Works much better after a rework... 73, Dee "THE OTHER" NJ AMSAT coordinator
