If like me, your antenna's suffered damage during the recent severe winds then
here is some handy specs for the 23 element 1296 MHz tonna, which I had fall
down, & suffer much damage to the very fragile tiny elements, luckily I had
measured them all before installing the antenna, & was able to make my own
replacements from brass brazing rod.

PLEASE ENSURE ALL YOUR PAGING PROMPTS ARE SWITCHED OFF i.e OP, or
