WOW!
Sounds like Dave got his hand caught in the
cookie jar.
For those few on the list who do not know Dean.
You mite have tried to remember where you herd the name. He worked for Motorola's design team for many years. He is a good church going person and one real nice guy. He really knows his stuff. He is not a Ham sad to say but is in to GMRS. As for helping. He has helped me more then once. Last week end in the middle of the big snow storm he took a ride with me up to South MT. PA. I had called him to ask about solar cells just to pick his brain. He told me to pick him up and he would love to take a ride. Well 3 hours latter we where up at the tower site. The solar controller had taken a dump. We (mostly he) fixed it and it is working just fine. He would not take any pay or even let me buy him dinner. He just likes to help. At work he is the same way.
He will help any one working or not. He just loves radio. One thing I have found is that if he tells you something you can go to the bank with it.
Because it is 100% write or he will find the answer and get back to you.
So as for Dave's blurb. NO WAY BUDDY!
I am real sure that many on this list have many of there own Dean helped them out stories.
I called over to there office but Dean had
left early for the day. Old saying its not nice to bit the guys hand who helps you there are not many
left. Plus you should not put things like that on a list you should just be a man and call that person.
Very best of 73,
Russ, W3CH

Dave,
Lets get the whole story out.
You your self told me you bought the controller
not from us! You said you got all the program info
from them! You told me you got no help or support
from them. I called you to ask how you made out.
You told me that the repeater we sold you worked 100%
But you could not get it to work with your controller.
I faxed you over my cheat sheet and I even told you
to send it here and I would hook it up for you at no charge.
If you do not think any of this is true a reminder that
all of our phones are taped. So let us tell the whole
truth not a half truth or I can send out a wave file.
I and the company all ways try to help when we can.
In your case I should have told you if it is not in the
repeater as ordered I can't help. Then I would not
get my finger bit off for trying to help with a product
we did not sell. Like I said you your self said the repeater worked fine. The wait was that they gave you the wrong program info for hooking there controller up to our repeater.
Enough said. I would be darn careful before you put out
any more half truth on a public list. For you could easy be made a fool. Remember our phones have you on them.
As for your wrong pin also a half truth as that came from the controller folks as did the cable. It was my cheat sheet that was right. I will take this off the list and write you direct.
