[TowerTalk] MARC Software

If you want to change FT-LBS to IN-LBS Multiply by 12 not divide.  However I
am not sure that will resolve your question.

I've been working with the MARC (Mast,Antenna,Rotor Calculator) software,
which is sold by Champion Radio, to do some calculations for my clubs tower
project.

While doing the calculations for what we will need for a rotor I noticed
that the answer is given in FT-LB of torque. All the rotor specs are in
IN-LB of torque. Does anyone know if this is a typo or is it correct? The
rotors that are listed all have ratings that could be used if the resultant
torque is really IN-LB. Steve suggested dividing the FT-LB number by 12 but
the answer is so low that it doesn't seem right.

Is anyone able to shed a little light on this.

Julio, W4HY
