Perhaps you need two Ford Explorers? :) Theres a lot of them to be found dead for scrap prices. Delete the driveshaft(s) and add a tow bar. Nice inconspicuous repeater platform!
2m RX -> 900/1.2 link to other SUV -> 2M TX If the link radio TX was very low (few hundred mW?) a smallish deep cycle (SLA) battery should run the RX and link TX for quite a while, and all you'd need then is a notch of some sort to keep the across-the-parking-lot-or-whatever signal from slipping into the 2M RX. Of course, a backpack, ammo box, ice chest or even a small trailer may be an easier solution to work with. I suggest the second Explorer to possibly increase the value of my own dead Ford Exploder. Maybe you could start a trend! JS Peter Dakota Summerhawk wrote: > > > Morning, > We are looking at building a portable repeater for special even use. This > will be mobile mounted and 2M.
