I have no comment on the difference in reliability between the old and new flavors as I don't remember having any failures. But I'll mention that I have a bunch (like, maybe ten) brand new

APC = Another Panic Caused I hate APC. Actually, let me take that back. I love APC, they're a consistent source of recurring revenue for us in the service business. --- Jeff WN3A -- This email has

They need to be checked on a schedule just like a flooded battery.? If you can't do maintenance, don't even install them. Some of the things that happen, just like a flooded battery, they will

May be a little off-track, home vs "radio site." For my ad-hoc "entrance panel" I went to a local metal salvage/stock yard and acquired a 24" long x 2" wide strip of 1/8" brass.? Cost me maybe $20.

If you are only going to put a surge suppressor on the feedline you will have wasted your money. It takes more than that. Powerline protection, single-point grounding panel, and protection to anything

Hi Dan, Actually my repeater site is in my home. I should have specified that. I run a 70cm repeater and wanted to upgrade to hardline from the duplexer to the outside with a lightning arrestor to the

John, At one time there were some entry panels made from copper/brass. These were combination entry ports/bonding solutions. Unfortunately they were a pain to use and didn't seal well from my

Whoever said SLA batteries do not leak was wrong. This is what I found when responding to a report of fluid leaking out of a UPS. Because the battery was swollen it took some convincing to get it out

I have been reading this on ad off and decided to add my 2-cets I am using both the new and older style GE voters for my 6M repeaters. My experience has been the new black panel power supplies are

I contacted the OEM and got a quick reply. One of my questions is that they still are in business.? They had trouble obtaining certain parts in the past. I assume that's some special I.C.s.?? I

Remember, too,that copper and alum are not very close on the Galvnic chart so use the proper interfacing "grease". Look up on line about galvinc (spelling?) corrosion. Copper is more expensive

So, Chris, I gather, the newer units can work without a ST as well? (with the mods, of course). Newer is better for me :) -- - Regards, Karl Shoemaker To contact me, please visit SRG's web site at

At one time, they were made of plastic. I've seen several of the plastic ones that came installed in manufactured buildings. Jim W7RY

Where we haven't had room to install a cable port entry we have used a waterproof Cable Gland. See the below link for photo of what they look like. They can be mounted on a small square piece of
