Lead Field Technician - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

May I ask what typical pay for this position is for someone with a little over 5 years doing cellular field work? Also, do you ever accept entry level technicians with electronics training in the Navy? Thanks.
