Folks
I've been reading the low voltage disconnect thread with a great deal
of interest. Thanks for the tips and suggestions. We're putting up
a VHF repeater and two UHF link radios on a solar/wind power
site.Given Alberta winters what would you folks suggest as a low

I see mention where the Daniels MT-2 repeater is a very low RX current so
it is ideally suited to solar power and wind powered operations. However
nowhere can I find concrete numbers as to RX/TX consumption. Or am I
missing something obvious? Daniels don't have any MT-2 manusl

We're moving a VHF amateur repeater to a 96' Trylon self supporting
tower. The overwhelming opinion is that our current 210C4 four bay folded
dipole would be too much of a weight and wind load for that tower.
One comment has been the Ringo Ranger. The wind load of the Cushcraft

Please pose your questions about tower loading to the manufacturer of your

antenna (not estimates or opinions) before you call Trylon.
Ok, where can I find exact data for

We're moving a VHF MSR2000 repeater and two UHF GMR300 linking radso's to a

looking at various options such as solar, wind and so forth. The land
