Never used them, no. Does anyone in Chicago stock them?

It doesn't sound like it. They are far from flimsy. They are less beefy than the commercial tower type mounts but for many of my uses those commercial ones are way overkill. That's why he started building them in the first place. He doesn't actually have a direct competitor to the Commscope pipe to pipe mounts. I use those too when needed. For mounting a sector, the original M-TOW or M-TOW-10 is where it's at. For small dishes (ie RocketDish30), I like the M-TOW-P. I've mounted Airfiber5s with M-TOW-D and M-TOW-A. None of those is under any risk of moving or failing. Some cases require more beefy hardware and for those I get more beefy hardware. If you haven't tried any of the M-TOW line I would recommend it. -Ty On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 9:04 AM, Mike Hammett <af...@ics-il.net> wrote: > They look great for a customer or a repeater, but not a tower.
