Here are some things that we need to do to get the SatelliteTruck ready for operation.

Left To Do:

  • Change the tires (store studded tires for winter time)
    • Someone said Les Schwab might change them for us?
  • Change the oil, check air filters, fluid levels, etc.
  • Run through DEQ to determine current condition of engine. (it seems it's over weight so we don't have to do this!)

  • Clean interior.
  • Replace/rekey locks on exterior access panels.
    • Find a panel to cover the A/V connectors
  • Finish running remainder of tower cable through roof conduit and into van
  • Repair/lubricate ladder stops.
  • Aquire and mount a weatherproof box on the mast for APs
    • First box will be temporary, until the aimer can be built
  • Remove all unneeded cabling. video, power, etc. (partially done)

    • Should leave the cables to the outside A/V panel in place as much as possible
    • Figure out where all the antenna cables go and centralize them
  • Check electrical connections, and re-do where necessary. (like mast lowering control)
    • We might separate the relay panel from the control panel, put the relays in the back and rebuild the control panel
    • Need to decide what kind of power busses we want for what purposes
  • Check generator mounting, it sounds loose
  • Mount switch in rack and wire to jacks inside and outside (done, sorta)

    • Still need to run cables, etc.
  • Design and apply an exterior scheme (part paint, part vinyl sign?)
  • Label and document all wiring/cabling.
  • Insurance?

Done:

  • Purchase the van
  • Do a quick once over
  • Replace control cable in the coil with CAT5 cables
    • Took out LMR-400, zip cord, and two multi-conductor cables
    • Put in one of the multi-conductor cables (6 mic cable snake), 4 cat5's and 2 cat3's
  • Mount switch in rack
    • Actually, installed Don's 24-port 10Mbps hub for now
