Rick - you mean install on the fascia, not the roof. Correct? On 8/29/09, RickG rgunder...@gmail.com wrote: I mean dont drill holes anywhere else on top of the roof - just the area above the soffit. That way if it happens to leak it will drip straight down through the soffit to the ground.

We have Dewalt Cordless Hammer Drills that I have used that get thru Brick, Mortar, Foundation, etc. Have had the same ones in service for 2+ yrs, only had to get new batteries every 1-2 years. (funny part is one of them is a refurb I bought from an outlet mall) Not knocking the Bosch, I

Does it really matter about performance? I have always been told from construction workers and electricians that they prefer Dewalt due to it being much lighter. On 8/29/09, Chuck Hogg ch...@shelbybb.com wrote: We have Dewalt Cordless Hammer Drills that I have used that get thru Brick, Mortar,

The best way to design an off-grid radio system is to take advantage of every chance you find to avoid having to generate a watt in the first place. Two drop-in replacement, high-efficiency voltage regulator devices that can help to that end: http://store.gravitech.us/312v1aswvore.html

This is typically called drive test software and there are many vendors of such...just not for wifi or similar technologies. Most of the commercial stuff is for collecting data on cellular networks. That being said, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a program to collect the serial data

A Bosch plug in hammerdrill beats a DeWalt cordless hammerdrill any day. I had to put about 100 or so (maybe more) holes in my basement to mount things on. I took about about 14 hours to put in about 50. The DeWalt broke. I then found the Bosch and it did the other 50+ in about an hour.

That's one point I was making with my fuzzy math repeater example. :-) I think the Wili card radios in that repeater system will operate down to 7V. I may need more than toys if I tried to use legacy 48V stuff and the resultant voltage conversions. At 10:08 AM 8/29/2009, you wrote: The best

The facia is even better but since the discusion was roof mounting as a last resort I meant that if you must drill into the shingles, do it directly above the soffit. -RickG On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Josh Luthmanj...@imaginenetworksllc.com wrote: Rick - you mean install on the fascia, not

I've had about the same experience with my Dewalt and cant complain too much. The chuck binds once in a while and the clutch seems to be going out so...I'll be in the market soon and wondering if there is anything better. Thanks! -RickG On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 9:35 AM, Chuck

POWER always wins! At home I use a corded drill and even have one for backup in the field. But out in the field, you cant beat the convenience of a cordless. -RickG On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 5:16 PM, Mike Hammettwispawirel...@ics-il.net wrote: A Bosch plug in hammerdrill beats a DeWalt cordless

I think if you are doing that many holes in one shot, any corded will beat a cordless. I know our cordless Dewalt drills have done hundreds of holes. Regards, Chuck Hogg Shelby Broadband 502-722-9292 ch...@shelbybb.com http://www.shelbybb.com -Original Message- From:
