To Patrick with regard to message #3


Ya, I've already figured that out I was just putting the comments out 
their for anyone else. It's better to have overkill then underkill 
anyway meaning if they have the LMR use it if not then they could use 
something else assuming its just a pigtail run. We've actually worked it 
out with Jef Brink (the RF engineer with Rogers, Telus etc.) I agree 
with you I just didn't know the length of cable that post was in 
referance to which was the point of "If I missed something I apologize 
for being off base(probably am as I havn't seen the location)."  The 
real issue with having the radio on a 100 foot tower is accessability, 
nobody wants to climb a tower in the dead of winter which is where the 
idea of keeping the failsafe on the ground comes in. It's really a catch 22.

thanks for the concern though
