[TowerTalk] Fw: SteppIR problem

[Al Williams]

or ask the SteppIR people for a control box and a power supply then make a 
jumper cable between the existing long cables connector to go to the two 
control boxes with the four ehu wires divided between the boxes i.e 
supplying all four ehus but with only two to a box.  no cutting needed.
