I know I posted this to the AR902Mhz group, but I'm not sure whether I posted this here also... If not, I apologize.
I have finally completed construction on my 927.5250 repeater. Components consist of: * Glenayre GL-Line paging station cabinet, power supply, and PA Heat Sink / cooling fan * Motorola 800 MaxTrac receiver (converted to 902) * Motorola GTX transmitter/exciter * Communications Specialists TP-3200 controller panel * Custom-built isolator / duplexer (from Jeff DePolo) * Motorola STF2520A 150W Paging Power Amplifier (isolator removed and re-mounted on the Glenayre heat sink) * Decibel BD586-Y omni antenna (6 dBd) * Andrew LDF4-50 feedline (approx. 50 ft.) This repeater makes right at 100W output to the antenna. Photos of the station during construction and as a finished product have been posted at the group's site. I want to thank everyone who assisted me with the construction of this station - from technical information to parts, moral support, etc... I certainly couldn't have done it without al of your help! I also want to publicly thank Ryan K9ZOE for providing me with the use of his 900 repeater station on my pair until I could complete this project. The repeater is currently planned for deployment tomorrow - weather permitting. (Or should I say, "come hell or high water"...) 73 and thanks again! Mark - N9WYS
