righto. But this particular list is there for
support of the RADIO's not everything else. There are 2 other good email
lists and a web based forum designed for generic questions.
That help?

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?
Dennis
