Re: Poor Mans Repeater Project anyone? Would some of you group members be interested in a "Poor Mans Repeater Project" as described below?
The project goal would be to construct a simple repeater using various/mixed radio parts. We as a group would talk about various portions of the repeater during actual construction of a project by at least one or two (probably more) group members. The project would more likely be surplus two-way conversion and/or ki-built related radio equipment as anyone can buy a pre-made repeater system. We'd toss around a few ideas first and then try to aquire equipment and make it work as best possible. Converted mobile radios..? Converted base or commercial repeaters? Junk bought off ebay... yadda yadda. Duplexer... no duplexer, high power, low-power. You get the idea... Might be fun and a way to get good information and various opinions out to the group. A lot of you don't have the money for some of these bells and whistles we talk about. So why not go back to our roots and build a repeater from scratch. Anyone interested? cheers, skipp
