[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 853575, member: 243342"] Hello, So I implemented my declination control bracket and wired everything up. For declination control, I am using a 10" jack arm - but there's a problem. It doesn't have a reed switch. Instead, it has a potentiometer with 3 wires coming out of it. I have never seen this before. Needless to say, it doesn't work with the VBox. So, I have two options. Change the potentiometer to a reed switch (how - conversion kit?) or use my 18" jack arm, which is an overkill for this purpose. I wouldn't mind shortening the jack arm but I am not sure how. Has anyone done it? Thanks CJ [/QUOTE]
