I thought the SM had gone bad, but when I pulled it down, it seemed to have extra weight. Not sure why the ants decided to take up residence, and I don't remember what happened that they got in. I think they came up through the gap around the SM case, or at least that's what I remember. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 10/30/2025 8:36 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: I did have a couple SuperStingers that stopped working in winter and were really heavy when the techs took them off. They had filled up with water and turned into blocks of ice. I think at the time Chuck said there was a problem with the thermal welding process or something like that. It was nice in the FSK days to send a tech out for an install or repair with just one radio. Then use it bare or with a Stinger, SuperStinger, reflector dish, or “big dish” to get the antenna gain you needed.

I didnt know shit back then. I put one on expecting massive numbers and just wasnt seeing much (turns out i was seeing what I was supposed to). I called about it, you almost beat me up through the phone trying to get the units back to get on your bench to figure out what was wrong with them and had already shipped replacements On Thu, Oct 30, 2025 at 9:08 PM Chuck McCown <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: One of my better ideas.

I looked at it and went “what is that”? The antenna was a KPP sector and I was expecting the AP to be attached to the back of the sector. I had forgotten that the FSK APs looked just like SMs. I guess partly because I mostly deployed Cyclones. I do remember the 900 MHz SMs with Chuck’s Stingers on top, connected with a coax cable. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
