John Bisset is back with radio engineering tips, techniques, and trinkets to make our lives better and our jobs more complete. Need to level a heavy transmitter or break into a locked car? John says the Air Wedge Alignment Tool is what you need. An IR camera can show you which FET is dead. And John believes that a polite and informative sign has kept a transmitter site break-in-free for thirty years.
Show notes:
- WinBag Air Wedge Alignment Tool
- Chris Tarr reports excellent results getting IT services to his facilities using an IT services broker. He suggests IQ Wired in Denver.
- John was impressed by this line of small mini-split window A/C units from Oslo. Different, for sure.
- Lower-priced IR camera attachments for phones have very low pixel resolutions. This FLIR ONE Pro is a best seller on Amazon.
