DRSA6A NXT very noisy

[Havanajoe]

Hey, I have a DRSA6ANXT with 4’ open array ant. New install this spring. It operates perfect but Now seems to be louder when rotating than when I installed it. I couldn’t find any other similar complaints on the forum.

They sound different than older arrays especially when running close range (48rpm). Sometimes a mounting on a boat can cause reverberations especially if mounted right above your head. If there truly is something wrong, it would be the Nylon gear that is designed to take on damage and strip out when someone hits the array or tries to run it with the antenna restricted. I would recommend you inspect the teeth on the nylon gear. If it looks good, then you are good.

Will do I guess I really notice it at the dock when the boats not making much noise itself.
