They do have slits. From: Steve Jones Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2020 10:50 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Stainless banding - Time Sensitive Question
unless those have banding slits cut in them, he may want to put some mattresses on the ground to catch the radios when the bands tear. That being said, assuming hes using the 3/4-1 inch bands and the style we used to use, yes, you hammer the clamps. its kind of like kneading dough, you have to roll them with the hammer. I havent used that tool in like 8 years though On Wed, Apr 22, 2020 at 11:46 AM <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: This is what he is installing: https://www.mccowntech.com/product/heavy-duty-pole-mount-1/ From: Carl Peterson Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2020 10:37 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Stainless banding - Time Sensitive Question If he can post a quick video of what he is doing I'm sure we could critique it. I haven't done it myself in a decade but all the gear I put up on steel poles 10 years ago is still up and hasn't moved. Which of your brackets is he installing? Only thing I can think is the band isn't slipping through slots in the bracket and thus isn't getting tightened properly.

I personally have never used bands on a steel pole. Any tips or pointers? Does he hammer the clip flat after bending the strap? He is trying it down at the base before hanging a bunch of expensive radios way up in the air and is having the strap slip. This is fairly time sensitive. I am sure Mitch would welcome a call if any of you have some experience with this. I suggested getting some rubber to put under the mount to increase friction. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
