Help understanding a 89 radio rebuild new guy
#27

Quote:They quit looking and said they will be back after they find some kind of radio they have somewhere.
If the noise source is not clearly evident with simple tools for the linemen they defer to the RF boys, they will return pinpoint the noise, then another crew makes the repair. The RF crew may return to close the job or not.

The Power company has strict protocols and pay grades for the groups of workmen. What seems like complacence if actually how it is done.

One has to have at least a 2 year degree and a 2nd class radio/telephone license to be on the RF crew...

It's very important that the equipment work properly, generating RF noise costs money and often leads to a catastrophic failure at sometime in the future...

They will be back, give at least two weeks, then call and find out, the crew chief may be on vacation...
