[CQ-Contest] Rohn TB3 Junk

[K5NZ at aol.com]

Anyone have a replacement for the worthless TB3 junk Rohn makes?  Everytime I 
have to pull a mast the set screws on my TB3 snap off because they are rusted 
to no end.  I'm about to install a new tower and want to buy something else 
this time. Why would a company use hardware like this that has to sit in the 
elements 24/7?

I just set up a pair of these at work a few months ago for transporting 9600
SCADA across TCP/IP.  It took a little time to get things programmed
correctly, but it works great.

We are using the Portserver II model.  You can program specific ports for
"autoconnect" to another specific port as soon as you send some data, or it
can prompt you for the destination.

However, like you said they are pricey.  I've seen them on Ebay go for 3-400
each.  However, some of the older models might work and be significatly
less.

If you find a stripped down/cheaper  hardware alternative,  let me know!
