Hello
Marlon.
Thanks.
Beckman, your
assumptions are still that. Assumptions.
Take the tape
off you dish feedhorn cover and backmount
point.
Will last longer and the North Texas wind and ice
won't cause a
tower climb in the most undesirable
weather for
you.
Marlon, tell
them more about the specific url's so that they
can be more
properly enlightened by you and a few of the
other
gracious folks that have gotten tired of answering
the same
thing over and over again on this list.
Or should I
say it like Roger does? " Ever try Google *****"
Works most of
the time and wastes nobody's until you have
exhausted all
other resources. I don't mind helping anyone,
but I am of
firm belief you should try to help yourself first.
Use your
Golden methods here, Sir and help these folks
see the
Light!!
Ron
Look up the charger. "smartbridges
equipment specific". That's NOT tower stuff.
I'm just trying to keep the traffic down to a
level that the average user can handle.

Marlon
I'm not trying to argue, but I
respectfully disagree
I still say if you are using sB radios and anything that
concerns them are relevant, ie towers, servers, routers, backhauls,
battery backup, solar power, antennas,
etc.
Why should you have to monitor several sites if you are using sB
radios, this one is hard enough to keep with
Don't take this the wrong way, I may need your advice
sometime
My
observation

righto. But this particular list is
there for support of the RADIO's not everything else. There are 2
other good email lists and a web based forum designed for generic
questions.
That help?

OK Marlon
I've seen this happen more than once on this
site
For some reason or another someone only wants to talk about the
subject they want to talk about
I would think if you are a smartBridges user and you were using
them on a tower and you wanted to ask about a tower or
anything concerning these radios you should be able to post a
question
Some of us may not be as learned as others
Why not ask questions to the people using the same radios as you
are
My observations
Joe K
btw guys, i didn't notice what list this
is on. These generic questions really belong on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list rather than the TT
tech support one.
thanks

$2500 is not expensive compared to
spending $500 a month to be on someone else's towe.

Ouch. Thats what I have been
finding out. Much simpler and cheaper to run off other
towers unless you have the cash to outlay :(
Any other suggestions?

Towers
We built our own tower and it was
rather inexpensive. I have a friend who was in the two way
radio business for 40 years and built lots of towers, so he was
very helpful. We bought the 100' steel tower (Rohn 25G)
from Hutton (www.huttononline.com),
picked it up locally, for less than $1k. We used friends /
relatives for labor (free) so the only additional cost was the
concrete, rebar, guy wires, and miscellaneous hardware. It
was not that difficult to build, took us about 4 days, mainly
due to the over 100 degree heat. Total investment was less
than $2.5k. If you need any help with how to build one,
what parts to buy, want to see pictures of ours going up, etc.,
just email me offline ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and I will be happy to help.

Towers
I was wonder what everyone is
doing for towers? I have high trees in my area, 70 foot
high in some cases. I'm running off a radio station
tower now, but what other options are there? I have
found a 100 foot telescoping tower for like $3,200 bucks, but
you need a crane and a big ass crew just to get the thing up,
not to mention the guy wires.
Anyone have any
suggestions?
Dennis
