I have been following the post on receiver preamps. I would like to expand the topic to D-Star repeaters. The project that I am working on is a 2 Meter D-Star repeater.
The core of the system is an ID-RP2C and the ID-RP2V. I will be running on 145.12 with a - 600 Khz split. The antenna is a four bay Comprod antenna fed with 900 ft of 1 5/8 inch line. The coverage area is flat. The transmitter should run about 50 watts out of the duplexer and the receiver should decode at about -115 dbm. I am interested in examples of existing proformance enhanced D-Star 2 Meter repeaters that are on the air and or ideas to try. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. If you have links to existing articles, please post the links. Thanks in advance, 73, John KC4YI
