WTF? You cant debate a valid point so you try to dig up something to divert the issue? BTW, that's a reclaimed dish, the tape is to hold the epoxy in the dish for drying. sorry, but I don't appreciate people who take to childish tactics. The nice thing about mailing lists is kill filters. You just made it. Bye Bye! BTW, you are the first person in 4 years in this community (wireless ISP) that I have ever added someone to my kill filter. And I've met some real jack a$$. Fell feel to add me to yours.

Hello Marlon.
 
Thanks.
 
Beckman, your assumptions are still that. Assumptions.
Take the tape off you dish feedhorn cover and backmount
point.  Will last longer and the North Texas wind and ice
won't cause a tower climb in the most undesirable
weather for you. 
 
Marlon, tell them more about the specific url's so that they
can be more properly enlightened by you and a few of the
other gracious folks that have gotten tired of answering
the same thing over and over again on this list.
 
Or should I say it like Roger does?  " Ever try Google *****"
Works most of the time and wastes nobody's until you have
exhausted all other resources.  I don't mind helping anyone,
but I am of firm belief you should try to help yourself first.
 
Use your Golden methods here, Sir and help these folks
see the Light!!
 
Ron

Look up the charger.  "smartbridges equipment specific".  That's NOT tower stuff.
 
I'm just trying to keep the traffic down to a level that the average user can handle.

I'm not trying to argue,  but I respectfully disagree
I still say if you are using sB radios and anything that concerns them are relevant, ie towers, servers, routers,  backhauls, battery backup, solar power,  antennas,  etc.
Why should you have to monitor several sites if you are using sB radios,  this one is hard enough to keep with
Don't take this the wrong way, I may need your advice sometime

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

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?

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.

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
