This $40 Upgrade Could Save Your Yaesu FTX-1…

This  Upgrade Could Save Your Yaesu FTX-1…

The Yaesu SPG-1 is a rugged, lightweight protection frame designed specifically for the Yaesu FTX-1. It adds a layer of defense around the front panel, knobs, and display—helping prevent damage from bumps, drops, and rough field use. Perfect for portable operators, POTA and SOTA activations, or anyone taking their FTX-1 outdoors, the SPG-1 installs easily and gives you peace of mind without adding much bulk or weight.

Tower Upgrade Part 1 – New Rotator, Mast Rebuild & First Lift

Tower Upgrade Part 1 - New Rotator, Mast Rebuild & First Lift


Today’s job is a proper step forward on the tower rebuild. In this first part, I strip down the original mast, fit the new GS-2800 rotator, correct some long-standing geometry issues around the hinge point, add a substantial insulated section, and begin rebuilding the tower with heavier-duty hardware and a new plan for the guying.

The long-term idea here is not just a stronger lift-up mast for the beam, but a structure that can eventually serve double-duty as part of a 160m vertical as well. That means thinking ahead now – insulation, support sleeves, thrust bearings, couplers, turnbuckles, shackles, and how the whole thing behaves while going up and down.

This is very much real-world prototyping in the field:

– taking the old mast down
– removing the beam
– rebuilding the lower section
– fitting the new rotator
– correcting the hinge arrangement
– testing the first section with revised guying
– adding the second steel pole
– and finally carrying out a cautious test lift

I also talk through the design thinking as I go – including why I’m changing to Dyneema guys, why I’ve moved away from the original arrangement, and how I’m trying to make the whole system stronger, smoother and more repeatable.

The camera gave up near the end, so the final lift is shown via the field camera. Part 2 will continue with the next stage of the tower build, final alignment, and getting the extended mast up to its finished working height.

Thanks for watching.
