Dear Editor,
In PS 543, you said Patriot crews need to be careful with the heavy
cables used on the Patriot’s antenna mast guide and other
components. The cables are too
heavy for their connectors and
often split.
What those heavy cables need
are cable grips, NSN 5120-01-213-
9538. These grips lace around the
cable and hook to the component’s
trailer so that the cable has
support and isn’t pulling at its
connector.

What a relief to get your suggestion. All of the Patriot’s heavy cables should
be laced with these grips. They save expensive repairs. They’re listed as Item 11
in Fig 2 of TM 9-1430-603-24P.
