I have my equipment attached to a rather large (100+ pounds) UPS device in case of a power outage. It'll run a Thunderbolt for a week I'd suspect.
I've purchased several items from fluke.l (that's an L not a one) on eBay with good results every time. The only "problem" I ever had was just this week when I ordered a pair of Panasonic VIC100 antennas. I asked him to throw in two TNC to F adapters so I could go to ordinary RadioShack cable TV cable. I received two TNC to N instead. This cost me $5! No complaints, just a minor annoyance, but now I have a pair of adapters I didn't have before and I made due with a Pamona adapter kit till I find a proper replacement. -Bob On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 10:56 AM, David Hilton-Jones < [email protected]> wrote: > Many thanks Mark. > > I was thinking of setting up in a fixed position and leaving on > permanently.
