Re: PSU Leads - Online

Take your leads to any mechanic or auto electric place and get them to crimp a couple terminals,they probably wont even charge you.

Re: Tower accomplished- now, how to mount to solid rock?

Hi again Brian, If you rebolt the 3 plates/stubs back onto the tower and refit the 3 lengths of tube that were holding the 3 base plates together. Once bolted then weld them so they cannot move then you can weld the rebar/thredded rod to each base leg.Then you can unbolt from tower. You now have a b...

Why do you need 20A @12VDC if you are only permitted 10W output power? The PA in your radio must be very inefficient.... :mrgreen: perhaps an upgrade,perhaps wants to run more gear off the same ps but remember you are talking to a new call and a 14 year old who is trying to set up.

Re: How to label pushbuttons?

Hi Adam,

perhaps steel number/letter punches,the type used for stamping numbers on chassis.
Warm on stove and carefully place on button.Experiment with temp and test on another piece of plastic.
These punches are available at auto supply shops and Ebay.
Good luck
