Hi All! I work for a telecommunications/CLEC company, and we are ALWAYS
installing new types of equipment. You name the vendor, we probably have
their equipment. One thing that you will always notice is that during about
the first 30 days the equipment is in place "burning in", you will smell the
new components "seasoning" in their new environment/home. When that person
down the hall or in the cube next to you gets a new computer monitor, see
how long that device gives off that "new smell". Kinda like a new car, the
smell goes away. This process is accelerated with ventilation and covered up
with other dominating scents in the area - cigars, cigarettes, hanging air
fresheners. The same process is decelerated by a lack of ventilation, also
yielding higher temperatures. This is when you enter a remote repeater/regen
and it ALWAYS smells like something is burning or overheating.

I don't know, but that's one thing I was wondering, but it would seem to
be self defeating.  Our system has cooling equipment, but the smell is
quite noticeable in that room.
	Also, like many EDACS systems I haven't heard too many good things
about LTR.  Of course Chester County, PA's system has had some problems
from what I've heard, and  so has Martin County, Florida.  What customers
are
there that are actually  happy with their LTR systems?
