Folks,
I have had a HDBX-48 up for about 4 years and I had secured the coax to the
outside leg of the tower with black tie wraps. Over the past 4 weeks I have
had a number of the tie wraps break and fall to the ground.
I wrapped the tower leg with tape to take away the "edge" that the legs
before putting on the tie wrap. I opted for tie wraps instead of tape.
My question: Is this the "normal" life for tie wraps? Is there a better
way to secure coax to the tower? Using wire instead, maybe? I don't like
the tape method but may go back to it.
Any advice will be appreciated -
Thanks,
E. Glenn Wolf, Jr.
