Pinnacle will give you a thesis size site application, usually before providing any pricing. If there is any way to work a deal with the current user to take over his lease, might be cheaper. Pinnacle has renegotiated some rates in our area, typically 10% less. I suspect there are open slots available, most of the sites have had major customer losses.

Re: [Repeater-Builder]Pinnacle Towers
If you can find a tower in your area owned by Vangard Wireless, they would be the ones to go with. I have Ham repeaters on two of their towers at no cost. We don't even pay the light bill. We cut grass and keep things in good repair is our cost. My company has customers on two of their towers as well. They public safety guys pay light bill and take care of site maintenance. My company has a UHF commercial repeater on one of their towers. I belive the rent is $200 per month per antenna. We have one antenna at 295'.

[Repeater-Builder] Alcatel MainStreet 3624 Multiplexer Help Needed
I have a set of Alcatel MainStreet 3624 Multiplexers http://www10.dealtime.com/xPF-Alcatel-Newbridge-MainStreet-3624-Multiplexor -94-0004-02 which I have been struggling for a number of months to configure. I am assisting my county radio system with getting these to work via their 4.9 GHz microwave backbone. I must admit, MY interest is somewhat selfish - I have been told that if I can get these working, they will allow me to use up to three voice channels to bring remote receiver audio back to my primary 440 amateur repeater, located on one of their sites. (This way, I don't need to build out the infrastructure for the links - the microwave backbone will provide that for me.) My problem is, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to properly program them. I have the manual, but for some reason (probably because I don't think logically - that's why I failed Fortran in college three times consecutively) so I cannot get them to talk to each other. If someone knows the trick and can convey it to me, I'd be VERY much obliged, as will the county's radio system manager. (Even their system technician hasn't been able to figure these out. I have an acquaintance who is familiar with them, but we just can't seem to coordinate our schedules.) If you are local to Chicago, we can coordinate on a time to meet so I can get you into the sites - otherwise I think we'll need to do this via message exchanges. I'm told they need to be programmed all the same in order to talk properly... Thanks in advance, Mark - N9WYS

Mike, Funny you should mention Telarc... I have the disc titled Time Warp (Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra) The disc has a prominent WARNING on the front label that read: Warning! TIME WARP contains some of the most powerful signal content ever released on a commercial recording. Please refer to the caution notice on Page 10. The Page 10 notice reads: Telarc Digital Compact Discs, especially those containing substantially wide dynamic range, will present an extraordinary challenge to all stereo systems. Certain components - even the finest - may have problems with the most demanding passages. *Damage could result to speakers or other components if the musical program is played back at excessively high levels..* WARNING! Lower levels are recommended for initial playback until a safe level can be determined for your equipment. The first musical passage, called Ascent, starts with what can best be described as a SHARP thump/chime. A friend of mine bought the disk and blew up out speakers the first time he played the disc... Apparently he didn't heed the warning, eh? hehehehe Over the years, my old stereo system has been retired, piece by piece. One of the last to go were me matched pair of Utah HS1-C speakers. I hated to see them go, but then again, my hearing isn't what is was back then, either... so I can't appreciate them like I used to be able to. :-( -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Mike Morris WA6ILQ Some thoughts that are even more slightly off topic... 1000 recordings to hear before you die http://www.1000recordings.com/book/ And my stereo is also hollow-state mostly Heathkit but with new filter caps. I remember looking at the output of an early high-end CD player (Sony? I forget) on a scope. It had tremendous dynamic range. Much better then vinyl or even 7.5ips magnetic tape. Totally wasted with todays music. The only thing I could find that would max it out (i.e. run the output from rail-to-rail) was a Telarc 1979 CD of the 1812 Overture featuring REAL cannon. The CD case insert said that the producers were able to track down some of the original type of cannon that would have been used then. And it specifically warned that the recording could damage speakers. The Deutsche Gramophone recording of the same piece is almost as good - both bottomed out my subwoofers. Around the 4th of July some years PBS shows the old WGBH tape of the 1990 (or so) Boston Pops 4th of July show. The later years have the show at night but this is an late afternoon / early evening show and at the right point you can see John Williams picking up a handheld radio that he had on his music stand and cuing the Massachusetts National Guard that was sitting on the far side of the Charles river with multiple 155mm howitzers firing blanks. Not quite the same, but very impressive. They still do it - some years it's the Guard, other
