Air. In a split boom there is obviously a piece of metal pipe in the split.

My arrow is at home but the only reason I can imagine for this to happen is
when the duplexer has moved into the boom more than needed. Take it out
carefully and check for other objects inside the boom.

Nothing should be in the way of the threaded bolt. The boom is empty unless
you have the diplexer from them and that isn't long enough to go up to
where the reflector is connected.
Probably the holes in the boom are just a little tight or the threaded bolt
is a bit bent. Try and "screw" it in with some pressure. Maybe try another
element/bolt. If it is brand new this is normal. In this case it's okay to
force it. You can shine a light inside the holes and see nothing is inside
the boom.

There is a small section of copper pipe at the joining point between
the two halves of the boom.
Did the copper pipe slip? Is the copper pipe longer than it should be?
Does your Arrow have the integrated Diplexer? Maybe the Diplexer
cables are inside the boom?
Contact the Arrow manufacture - I'm sure they know the answer.

Hello
I have been decoding Falsonsat-3 using direwolf and an SDR
Tonight I took the arrow and Kenwood THD72A to a hill
I had a good copy on the bird
I have a question.
If I take a laptop and mobile connection, and hook into the THD72A TNC, can
I feed data into the APRS-IS ?
Does the Kenwood pass Falconsat-3 9k6 data ?
Cheers

I am attempting SatPC32 control of two FT817ND. I found that mine is only
controlling frequency on radio 1, although both radios are configured.
I have attempted the normal trouble steps: swapped radios, exchanged cat
cables. I originally configured using Commander and can make both radios
track. Each component seems to work ok.
Any thoughts? I have not yet tried a powered USB hub, nor from my big
desktop/gaming computer. I have thus been testing using a passive hub and/or
laptop USB ports.
