[TowerTalk] TIC RING

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

Bill I have one still in the box that I plan to mount on my freestanding
tower.

Carl was great to work with.  They ship using UPS and UPS managed to destroy
the packaging and showed up at the door with various pieces parts.  I
refused it and Carl once he got all the stuff back repackaged, replaced etc
and sent it back.  It showed up fine.

I ordered it with the Green Heron controller.  

Since it is still in the box I can't comment on the functionality.  I have
known people that have used them in the past and they have been pleased.

The design of the KT36XA is such that it is possible (barely) to  sidemount
it and have it rotate around 135 degrees.  However, it can not be  put on a
swing arm to achieve 300 degree rotation.  The front driven and  the first
director are too close to do the old swing arm on Rohn 55.
 
 
I am considering buying several TIC RINGS from TICGEN.  Any comments  on the
factory service, dependabilty, ease of assembly, which control box to get
and just general stuff would be appreciated.  Also, just how hard is it to
climb the tower and get past the TIC ring as you climb?  It looks like it
juts out quite a bit.
 
The model I am planning to get is the 1122E which has one motor and is
supposed to handle 20 sq ft.  I plan to use it for KT36XAs and a M2 4 el 40
(13.5 sq ft).
