design of telecommunication poles using pls-pole
hello, i'm new to the forums, my question is if anyone uses pls-pole as a program method to design telecomunication poles.
i have been using a spread sheet that links to saps, now with the revision g to the tia/eia 222 code we are moving towards the pls-pole direction. if anyone has any imput on this i will greatly appreciated.
thanks,

i have used the program, and liked it but the developers are more geared towards the powerline industry which makes things difficult for modeling telecommunication towers.  i think the program is around $2500 for the pole version and if you want towers its another $3500.  if you work with the telecommunication industry then you would need both.  after using pls-pole & tower for several years i tried another program called eri tower.  this software is tailored  for telecommunications a lot better than powerline.  they have a fully functional demo & a well documented manual.  hope this helps.
