[TheList] Stolen radio equipment - watch out!

Sun Jan 29 10:48:24 AEDT 2017

I had heard this,  but I was advised that the Fleetlink stuff was still 
in place?  We have a customer in Te Akau that needs to used a phased 
array yagi setup just to get Fleetlink coverage to their base and guess 
which site it's pointing at :)   Haven't heard of any complaints from 
them (which may not mean much, I'm just the boy :P)

I haven't been up to this repeater site myself, but I understood there'd 
be a bit of a walk to get to the shed unless you had keys to some gates.

Also could you e-mail me offlist which mail list they mention?  I work 
in the industry so maybe a good way to find out about things to look out 
for.  Every now and then we get told of thefts of equipment through 
Tait.  I know which repeater was apparently taken, so it should be 
pretty obvious to someone who tries to reprogram it that it shouldn't be 
in the third-parties hands.

Cheers,

Richard / Z-master
