OK, Rob, I'll bite... If the cable's been cut, activating the alarm, how will the repeater alert you? This sounds like a solution I'd come up with, then later say, "...d'oh!" 73, Paul, AE4KR _____

Hook your alarm to an input on the repeater and it could alert you also if someone tampered with it.

Anyway, why not just wrap your hard-line with burglar alarm tape, connected to a dc relay. This would trip a dc horn or siren (old police sirens work well or 28 volt locomotive horns) and halogen lights. A nice small camera to record the bad guys crapping their pants and away you go. I know most repeater sights are out in the middle of nowhere, but a very loud sound coupled with an intense bright light has a tendency to scare the crap out of someone whose nerves are all ready wound up tight from doing the crime. I would guess some dna samples could also be picked up from the surrounding fence as they took off. OH well my 3 cents worth. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Wright <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 5:50 AM Subject: Re: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] More on Copper theft Fire Arms are good if you are there. When I was in the Nam we put up "mechnical ambushes" as they were called. About 15 claymores along a trail with a trip wire in the middle. Only real problem is a FNG who knew nothing wanted so much to help and would connect up the battery making the thing go off. Always kept the battery in hidden place until needed. Well maybe don't need 15 of these critters, but one or two would be nice unless you got long run of cable. Just make sure when they do go off they do not spray the feedline, tower or equipment building. This might take some good engineering, but anyone well trained in fire arms should figure it out. (do they have claymore safety classes where you are???) 73, ron, n9ee/r ps Hand grenades can be used in place of claymores. However, provide something to shape the charge. Again don't want to damage the feedline. >From: Wayne <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:wa2yne%40gmail.com> com> >Date: 2008/04/24 Thu PM 10:44:57 CDT >To: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> >yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] More on Copper theft > UInless I wind up being able to put mine at the volunteer fire station, >it will be here at my home.
