OK
Marlon
I've
seen this happen more than once on this site
For
some reason or another someone only wants to talk about the subject they want to
talk about
I
would think if you are a smartBridges user and you were using them on a tower
and you wanted to ask about a tower or
anything concerning these radios you should be able to post a
question
Some
of us may not be as learned as others
Why
not ask questions to the people using the same radios as you
are
My
observations
Joe
K
btw guys, i didn't notice what list this is
on. These generic questions really belong on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list rather than the TT tech
support one.
thanks

$2500 is not expensive compared to spending
$500 a month to be on someone else's towe.

Ouch. Thats what I have been finding
out. Much simpler and cheaper to run off other towers unless you
have the cash to outlay :(
Any other suggestions?

Towers
We built our own tower and it was rather
inexpensive. I have a friend who was in the two way radio business
for 40 years and built lots of towers, so he was very helpful. We
bought the 100' steel tower (Rohn 25G) from Hutton (www.huttononline.com), picked it
up locally, for less than $1k. We used friends / relatives for
labor (free) so the only additional cost was the concrete, rebar, guy
wires, and miscellaneous hardware. It was not that difficult to
build, took us about 4 days, mainly due to the over 100 degree
heat. Total investment was less than $2.5k. If you need any
help with how to build one, what parts to buy, want to see pictures of
ours going up, etc., just email me offline ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and I will be happy to help.

Towers
I was wonder what everyone is doing for
towers? I have high trees in my area, 70 foot high in some
cases. I'm running off a radio station tower now, but what other
options are there? I have found a 100 foot telescoping tower for
like $3,200 bucks, but you need a crane and a big ass crew just to get
the thing up, not to mention the guy wires.
Anyone have any suggestions?
