I'm putting up a repeater in my local area--coordinated frequency is 146.895, going to tone it at 123.0.
The repeater is a Kenwood 270--I know it's not a big Motorola box, etc., but the price was right--FREE! I've had it checked and reset for the new frequency and it works just fine--puts out 48 watts steadily. Local Emergency Management Agency will provide antenna, feedline and installation, we're closing in on a couple of site locations right now. My questions are these: 1. I need a duplexer for this system--what are your thoughts on cavities, etc. 2. Does anyone have a set of cavities we can find cheap? What's the best bet for cavities--size, number, etc. 3. What do you recommend for ID'ers--need to be compatible with the Kenwood. 4. What about remote controlling of the repeater? The sites we're looking at don't have phone lines available--will probably have to use some remote control--what do you suggest? I do have some Motorola Syntor UHF units that could perhaps be utilized...or should I be looking for some used 220 band stuff? 4. What else will be needed? I'm a novice in the repeater world...
