A screwdriver is your friend... Try going to the repeater site leaving your tools at home. It only takes one stubborn screw to drive you nuts. Fortunately, friends took pity on my stupidity and brought my tools to the bottom of the hill. 10 seconds and the proper tool and life was good. A screw driver can be a major time saver!
I won't say I will never do that again but I hope it does not happen. Not to mention my friend that was driving needs to carry tools in his truck! ----- Original Message ----- From: wd8chl To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 6:14 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Running a Mastr II Repeater QRP On 8/31/2010 12:34 PM, Chuck Kelsey wrote: > Yes, a screwdriver is your friend. > > Chuck > WB2EDV > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From:<dmur...@verizon.net> > To:<Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> > Cc:<Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 12:21 PM > Subject: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Running a Mastr II Repeater QRP > > >> >> Installed a MSTR II VHF repeater in a six foot cabinet on top of a 17 >> story building.
