I bought this property in 2010, had the tower for a couple years prior to that and it's still just stacked up. gets moved a couple times a year and re-stacked. Managed to hit one of the ends with the Zero Turn and bend it pretty good, so I might have to buy some new (not such a terrible thing as...
Normally I'm a hey it's only temporary unless it works kinda person but .... you really need to get that secured down so it doesn't whack you in the skull at the worst possible time. Those sharp corners are gonna hurt. A Lot.
Nice setup tho! Loving the 140GTL!!!

I've had a tower laying around for....well I really don't want to say how long - I hope to get it up in the next month or two and get a base back on the air!

Well once again the problem has sorted itself out. However after digging out my galaxy book..it recomends replacing the 1000uf 10v Capacitor along the the Zener .. I think the Cap is bad, after a few hours of use, it goes back to a normal operation, so im thinking that it recharges.
Ive been...
Ill get ahold of him and see about sending my Galaxy in ... While I could replace the defective part easily - I would still like the radio to be gone thru and given a heath check.
Ill have to see who I know is going up to PA that I can get to drop it off.. A few months ago I would have been...
I need to get my Galaxy Saturn worked on.. who's a good tech to send it too? My normal goto guy wont touch em - haha
Might be something simple I can fix - the Freq Display isnt displaying properly. It did this once before but stopped on its own. I need to get this fixed, as I really like the...

Thanks. It gets the job done. Its very..clean. Ive got neighbors on both sides, and neither have ever complained about any interference. Well the one has but its not me. I am not turning his computer on/off, its his crappy wiring job on that house.. haha
If I ever clean up my workbench I'll...
