Re: [WISPA] Times Microwave tools for LMR 400...
I have tools from Tessco. I love the EZ connectors. Good positive snap when seated properly. I use a hacksaw to cut the cable. No smashing and with a little care a right angle cut is not hard. The saw does require some deburring. I use the tool, but a file will work. The one think you don't have listed is a pair of scissors. Makes trimming the braid much easier. You need an ST-600EZ for the LMR600. The tooling for 400 and 600 are different. D.

Re: [WISPA] WISPA classifieds?
Is it? When something like Ubiquiti can be had for $79, with no learning curve, and standardization could be accomplished? Relief aid is mission critical, and supporting and access equipment can be tough. I've observed donated junk gear gets left behind. However, I'd agree, it might be a nice gesture to ask those giving aid if they could use it, just in case. However, I argue there are few items that are not atleast worth their weitht in shipping. Many Liquidators would accept donated equipment. And EBAY has proven, that just about anything can be sold for a profit. One mans's trash is another man's product in short supply. If anyone has any type of gear operating in 5.x or 900, that they feel is best destined for the landfills, they can just ship it to me instead, I'll accept it at no charge, and then they can save on Dump Fees and gas, and contribute to saving the environment at the same time :-) Tom DeReggi RapidDSL Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband - Original Message - From: Brian Webster bwebs...@wirelessmapping.com To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 11:50 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] WISPA classifieds?

We use Hutton for this. Though I think all of the old EC folks are now gone Anyway, all I have is the stripper, deburring tool, an Ideal crimper, razor knife and toe nail clippers. The Times crimper is REALLY expensive. I use the EZ connectors. Only way to fly. For LMR 600 I either buy pre-built cables (don't use it much) or I buy the new Times crimpless connectors. You just need a couple of wrenches to screw them together. They grip MUCH better than the old ones too. Hmmm, time to update these pics. I don't see the stripper or the deburring tool listed.

[WISPA] Tools for an easy/safe day. Was -- Re: Times Microwave tools for LMR 400...
I'd never got back to the crimp or solder cheapo connectors. It's just too critical of a component. All it has to do is loosen up due to temp changes and you'll fight strange performance issues forever! At the very lease solder them vs. crimping the center pin. At least that creates a positive connection. If you use the EZ connectors it's important to have the lip on the center pin cleaned up. Otherwise you don't get a good connection. I can see where a file would work just fine, but I don't have time to fiddle with that kind of thing. It takes me just a few minutes to make a PERFECT connection nowadays. It's like the cat5 we do. I ONLY use the EZ connectors and crimper now. Yeah the tool and crimps are expensive, but my time is even more valuable. http://www.google.com/products?hl=enresnum=0q=EZ+rj45um=1ie=UTF-8ei=oazyS4XZA4GuswOinMj_Cwsa=Xoi=product_result_groupct=titleresnum=3ved=0CDsQrQQwAg I buy Bosch, Dewalt, or Milwakee drills. I don't often use screw drivers anymore, I use electric drivers (high speed Bosch 12vdc unit) etc. I've got a LARGE bucket truck. I replace my ladders every couple of years (4 at most). I put on good tires and brakes. I hire help if I get too busy or the job is too dangerous. I'm tired of working so hard. I'm too old (45) to take crazy chances. It's time to get the company paid off and start putting kids through college. Soon we'll be able to put money in the bank for later. As things sit right now we'll have nearly everything (not the house or cars) paid off in about 5 years. Never know, we may decide to expand or buy someone out and screw that up, but as of now the future is looking very bright! We're up to just under 700 subs now. 7500+ square miles. 30+ tower sites. I have 1.2 people in the office, the wife spends 6 or 7 hours a week paying bills (home ones included) and I work 6 to 12 hours per day (more toward 12 :-). Once in a while I hire some help in the field as stated above. Our gross revenue will hit around $350,000 this year. All with basically 2.5 people. Not too many companies can accomplish that. Especially in areas as sparsely populated as we are.

Re: [WISPA] Call Tracking / Customer management software
Peter from Freeside here Thank you to my friends and customers who responded earlier. Okay - I know... no commercial posts, which is why I haven't responded to the thread, but I saw Cameron's post this morning and thought I would jump in really quick with a couple of comments... The dig about the install being a trophy was probably deserved. :) I've improved the docs over the last month. Hopefully it no longer earns you a trophy. :) We have a Vmware image available on the demo page - super easy for evaluation. Billing is complicated, and while the configuration page has a note about each option, config can be a bear. We can help with that, ping me off list. Docs are sparse - Would it help to beg the opens source community to help with docs? I will. Please... :) We spend a full day on support customers and new features. The docs end up low on the list. Matt nailed it on the head. Again for more info ping me off of the list. -Peter On 5/12/10 11:24 AM, Michael Baird m...@tc3net.com wrote: We are interested in the call rating/billing/CABS abilities as well, the website is sparse on any details. Regards Michael Baird Hi Paul, Freeside is supposedly set up very well to do VOIP rating and billing. There are several very large VOIP operations that use it for their billing right now, and although I have not set it up, all of the facilities are there to tie it in. As far as documentation, yeah, it is very sparse. I don't think that it is necessarily to get people to pay for support, I think it is more like they don't have people on staff to write documentation. They basically do support and write code. The wiki has gotten better, but it is still a far cry from being comprehensive. If you have access to some linux/perl/sql people, you can probably get it installed. I actually got Freeside installed and running on a machine back in 2002. I think it took me a full week of messing around to get it installed. When I finally did get it running, I messed around with it for a month, and then took the hard drive out of the machine and put it on a shelf.I think it is still around here somewhere.It is a trophy - like the first time I solved a Rubiks Cube and I put it on the shelf for a month afterward. While I am sure that my sysadmin and I could get it installed and running, we leave that to the Freeside support crew because they can do it easier and know how to fix most of the issues that come up. Freeside is kind of like the billing version of Mikrotik. It is complicated and has a relatively steep learning curve, but there is good available commercial support for it, and because it is open source it can be modified to do just about anything.

[WISPA] Ubiquiti List
WISPA ANNOUNCES NEW UBIQUITI LIST WISPA is happy to announce a new user list in conjunction with the popular Ubiquiti Wireless product line. The Board of WISPA monitors the members and general lists and based on the traffic generated by Ubiquiti products feels it should have it's own discussion list. As not all members use this product we have to weigh their comments of too much discussion on specific topics so the members and general lists can be used for shorter thread subjects. Ubiquiti's senior technician Michael Ford will be monitoring this list and, we are pleased they have chosen to be an active member on this list considering their own forum at ubnt.com http://ubnt.com. To sign up for the Ubiquiti list you can go to: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/ubnt_users. Participation is not limited to members and it's hoped that non-members in the General list will consider this another benefit brought by WISPA in consideration of having you join this organization. All we ask is that you follow the etiquette rules for lists under WISPA supervision. Several other vendor members who generate large discussions have their own lists and you can see those at our main web site wispa.org http://wispa.org. We look forward to having your participation in discussion to help your technical needs and suggestions for potential improvements to this already fine product.
