I am familiar with Anritsu & Kaelus Passive Intermodulation and sweep gear through my experience troubleshooting and collecting sweeps. I am also very familiar with SunSight antenna alignment tools. I have spent a fair amount of time installing/grounding FIF racks for 3rd & 4th carrier UMTS radios after decommissioning in-shelter GSM cabinets, along with quite a few tower-top audits.
