<---FWIW, I ran an X-500 at the 10,023 foot level, on Mt. Haleakala on the island of Maui for many years (it was for a digipeater) and it survived not only 80+ MPH winds, it survived them with over an inch of ice on it. Yea I know.. Hawaii never gets snow or ice :-) Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ President and CTO - Arcom Communications Makers of state-of-the-art repeater controllers and accessories. http://www.ah6le.net/arcom/index.html Our new Repeater Audio Delay (RAD) board is now shipping!
