Any bruising should be reported to your Doctor if you didn't know how it got there.

Decided to sort of break out my rants, whines and so forth from the main coffee shoppe thread just in case any were tired of hearing about it or just wondering when I was going to get over it.


Well, I probably will never get over it, so since this a thread away from the main one, thou can read or not as desired and get on with the other earth shattering topics that we and everyone else here talks about in great, painful and excruciating detail.


So the first thought that makes one go :ummm:


Why is it that when ever any of the system techs, with the exception of one (the lead tech) have a question they call me... the "installer" for answers?


Have not figured that one out, case in point the tech for Seminole calls and wanted to know the gate code for the tower site next to the hospital, I was working at last week. He didn't know they had put a fence up, okay he has been in the hospital himself with a major problem. So I understand why he would not be aware of the change.


However, why are you calling me instead of the tech's assigned to that site? Or the shop manager?
                No, I did not say that to him ... I answered his question as to what he needed to do as the site now takes a soft key and code instead of just rolling up to the door as in the past.


But it does make me wonder, since I feel (real or perceived) as being treated as a bottom feeder or less then the dust beneath ones feet ... why do you call me instead of the other techs or the manager?


Other tech's and the manager are to keep their phones on and answer them as needed 24/7 ... so again why am I getting the call?


:ummm:


Just wondering :ummm:

Well, more entertainment.

Was to slow to manage to take New Years Eve off, so one each skeleton staff on Monday there was a total of four of us present.

Wow, go figure, well, all I can say is that one of our OL needs to get on with it in regards to ordering parts for subscriber radio repairs.

I managed to wade through 15 radios myself on Monday and add that to the quantity that is already been evaluated and have had parts request submitted there is no less then three shelves of radios double stacked waiting on her to get on with it.

Lord only know what the delay is regarding ordering parts but it is quite annoying.

Went back to work on my staging rack for the hospital project and showed it to the engineer and went over a few details next thing I know the other system tech was messing about with one of the TX connections and :OMFG: the damn right angle adapter for the isolator came apart in his hands.


 :whatthe:


Quite annoying, well made a major change to the staging of the system. Ripped out all of the adapters off the isolator's and changed both sides to right angle connectors instead.

Had ye ole system tech go ahead and start to install config files on the switch and router.

Couldn't do the router since we don't have the IP address to point the site at, so got the switch configured. Went to try and install the code plug in the repeaters and lo and behold they are missing no less then three license keys to enable the new repeaters to even work at all.

Turns out the licenses were bought we just did not have the details to do anything further.

Well, whatever it did allow me as mention to rebuild all of my transmit lines so I had 90° connectors on both sides. The I put together the "cookie cutter" document. In other words do it like this every time and no need to reinvent the wheel each time we upgrade a site. Reason being is that eventually all sites will be up to speed with the same equipment at each of them.

So put together a material list and a step by step on what to do and how to feel after you do it.

Was going to try and get the university project to the next phase. Was going to go out tomorrow to do one more "warm and fuzzy" test. This would have determined how much padding on the signal would be required on both the 400 MHz and 800 MHz bands.

To do so, I need to turn everything on, since all of my coaxial jumpers are installed and connected.

However to do so I need to also have the fiber link complete between all devices.

So, here is the fun part the last time I was out there the 27th of Dec I was told that by days end the fiber link would be completed.

Turns out ... not so very much ... apparently the wrong connectors were delivered. So now we wait for the correct connectors (SC APC) to be delivered ... nonetheless now waiting on them ... again.

 :tearlaugh:


 :sigh:

Well, the fun for tomorrow is now changed to pushing all the license keys across all three repeaters to get them up to speed.
We have done license keys to activate feature sets before so that will be simple and sort of uncomplicated. :pweez:

The next task is going to be to check the tuning on the combiners.

I have done that only once before so I am looking forward to being instructed on what to do and then do it myself. I learn best by doing ... I am definitely one of the touchy feely type of techs.


Just talking to me is not enough ...

Here is the real fun, one of the groups at the hospital is complaining that they have radios that do not work when they are more the 20 apart.

Well, checked the code plug out for the all the radios in that department and there is absolutely no reason for them not to work.

So, what we have is a customer that is being recalcitrant, since that is the case send us two of the radios you claim do not work along with two of any other radio there and let us see if we can duplicate the problem in our shop.

This should put the cat among the pigeons :heeheehee:

Next project will be to start staging out another system for the school board and this is with no details from the customer or a project manager.

The fun part is that I have done similar work for other county systems which means I could probably "finger it " out on my own.

The last bit of entertainment is the hospital sent a ambulance in for repairs as it was getting out of range errors.

So the mobile guy, yes I suck at mobile installs so I let the pros deal with them instead of me making things worse.

Put the watt meter on it and got bogus results, so yanked it out and put it on the bench and hooked up the service monitor to check TX power out on it and all was good there, so had the mobile installer check the antenna out (yes, had corrosion on the contacts) however even when cleaned up we still had bad test results on the watt meter.

So had him replace the line between the radio and the antenna, and then ran the test again finally got reading that indicated that all was well, 22 watts forward 1 watt reflected.


Some days :sigh:

Real fun trying to load in all the features for the repeaters the damn virtual server decided to give me crap ... I wound up having to reboot my laptop every time I switched from one repeater to another .. :whatthe: just to get all the features loaded ... I was in one of my :rat-atat: moods by the time I got that completed.


The code plug loaded nice and easy so what the frell was the issue with the entitlement key :ummm:


No clue but we did use up all allocated vile language for this year in short order.


Just saying ....

The good news is since all has been updated and configured I can take the rack apart and box it up for shipment to the site and rebuild it out there, and once ready it will be a simple matter of are you ready, turn the existing off and the new on and viola ... happy, happy, joy, joy ... however I think Joy is getting smart, as the last I looked she was hiding in the chandelier.

Anyone believing that line ... me neither .. I can hope but ... best laid plans of mice and men go :kaboom:
