7:17 Port 1 is only a v.24 port. The later version of the Quantar had IP connections for system release 6.x and up. I'm going from memory, but I believe one visual difference was that the serial port on the IP Quantars were labeled CSS, not RSS. Port 1 was definitely available for v.24, but I don't think they ever enabled Port 2 for dual v.24 inputs. That right slot in the Quantar could also accommodate an internal UHSO module which for a very long time was used on UHF stations in support of NTIA specs for federal users. You're right though, that 2nd receiver module option was pretty slick.
I would like to see the software! I also want to see how you are able to program the quantar with XP and possibly where one might find the software for one's self.
You NEVER EVER air condition an uninsulated building ‼️You mentioned I believe that it never got above 87° with the windows open and the AC off. That is NOT acceptable for electronic equipment OR people❗️Can you imagine working in an office building all day in an 87° environment❓ The fact that you’ve focused all your attention on your equipment instead of a proper building environment makes me question your basic thought processes. This video gets an automatic 👎
@BartlettTFD You may need to also tell this to ATT, Verizon, T-mobile, and many more Telecom giants in the UK. several things to clarifiy 1. This is not classified as a datacenter, office, or a room designed for people's comfort. This bulding was designed as a remote communication shelter. It was constructed to only house RF equipment. It is not a normally manned location. ATT for example runs their new comm shelters up to 100, after 100 the dampeners close and the small hvac unit kicks on to cool it to 85 then it shuts off and continues the venting process. Engineers in todays tech world are designing equipment with better air flow and bigger heat syncs to improve efficiency on site which means warmer comm enviorments. This is being seen all over the world today and you can view my cell site walkthrough video to see how this works (I would highly encourage you to view this video to get up to date on the new operating procedures) 2. As stated in the video, the high temp test was to simulate the HVAC failure on a hot day. The HVAC unit maintains the temp at 80 degrees 24/7. 3. the RF repeater in this shelter is rated by the manufacturer for operating in tempatures from -30C to 60C (please dont take my world for it see the below link for the specs) chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/www.repeater-builder.com/motorola/quantar/pdfs/uhf-data-sheet.pdf see page 2.
As a retired Broadcast Engineer I agree you CAN operate electronic in the kinds of environments you describe BUT at a high cost. Reliability and longevity are 2 factors that WILL affect the financial outcome. If you have deep pockets like the companies you mention, then go for it‼️The cost of adequate building insulation is minuscule compared to the cost of the equipment installed in the building‼️ Your choice❓😂

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice.. I'd love to have a setup like that !

Fine business
Great video as always, I think it would be a cool video to show the software that you use for the Quantar.
Your Windex bottle isn’t on the network?? 🤦 Great video, appreciate the share!
Interesting
Great video, but I would not do any ethernet patch cables less than 1 foot because of attenuation.
Seems to be going well for you, suggest you remove IP address on controller. 73's G8WOF
I think thats a private IP so it cannot be accessed outside of being physically in the shed.
@@hardwiired You may be correct but I think Jim Browning would find a way, best not post IP's
@@WOFFY-qc9te unless Jim browning is gonna physically break into the shelter that IP is useless

Would love to know more about the controller device and software. Thanks!
