RE: [Repeater-Builder] A Monday Laugh
My opinion is that a repeater should be used a lot, that way it's known to be reliable in case of emergency use. Plus, as you say, there'll be people listening.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Update on License renewal
It is pretty straightforward these days, but it still intimidates some people. I think a lot of the problem is that the Government has difficulty explaining (and simplifying) things, so that puts some people off. The last time I renewed I had to install Netscape so I could do it online, as that was the only browser that would work (as stated by the FCC). Richard, N7TGB _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Kupferschmidt Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 4:41 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Update on License renewal List members, A couple of weeks ago I was looking for comments / information on how to renew my father's ham license. A number of you responded which I archived them into a Word document for future reference. I didn't have a chance to do anything with it until today. After re-reading all of the posts and then logging into fcc.gov, the license renewal took less than 20 minutes to complete. The process is simple: 1. If you don't have an FRN (FCC Registration Number), click on the link (left hand side on the home page) to get one. If you do have one, proceed to step 3. 2. After obtaining an FRN, click on the link that associates the FRN to your call sign. Complete the page that does this. 3. At this point you should be presented with a number of options, one being to renew your license (with or without any modifications). Since I didn't have to change anything, I just clicked on renew with no modifications. 4. Complete the application and then click on the submit. You also have the option at this point to print out your application or save it to a .pdf file. I did both. It was easy to do. And the best part is that you don't have to pay anyone else to do it - it's free. Thanks again to all that responded to my inquiry. Don, KD9PT

There are a couple of things I look for that indicates to me that the

second is the line that says: "send this to everyone you know." I
ignore those type of messages.
In addition, another person pointed out that it is over two years old.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Switching a Repeater Betwen AC Sources
It would have to be a very large, very high capacity UPS, in order to handle the current the transmitters draw. This would be very expensive. Maybe you could install a battery bank with a good quality four stage charger to power the repeaters. When the power drops, since the repeaters are already running on batteries, the switchover would be seamless. Your IRLP computer could be powered with a 1500 watt or better UPS. This should allow sufficient runtime, plus the higher capacity should get you out of the cheapo consumer grade UPS category. As Eric suggests, you could plug the serial cable into the computer, and with the right software, the node could monitor the battery voltage when it is running on the UPS, then shut the computer down gracefully if the voltage drops too low.

Plug the repeater and equipment into the UPS and then plug the UPS into the receptacle of choice. Might be cheaper and easier to do this then to design, test, get permission from the hospital to install, install it and maintain it. I am sure that the hospital is going to want to make sure what you install is approved for such use. Some ups's provide a serial port for communication to a serial device, maybe you can access it remotely via packet to check status, logs and battery condition. Eric.

What problems would anyone see if we would feed everything from the normal power circuit, and if it would ever trip off, switch to the red receptacle. That way, if lightning trips the normal circuit, we would instantly feed our equipment from the red receptacle. This sounds so simple, and I'm inclined to build such a setup, but am I missing something obvious that could cause problems? Any better ideas? Laryn K8TVZ

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Switching a Repeater Betwen AC Sources
You do have a point about the batteries. I did see that it was revealed in a later post that his main Skywarn (ARES? I forget which) repeater is a MastrII, which I don't think lends itself well to run on batteries. The reason I suggested that size UPS, was to move out of the junk consumer grade UPS' that I don't think should be in a repeater site. Besides, think of the runtime with a UPS a large as that!

I'm not taking it the wrong way, not to worry! Good idea on the soliciting of funds, but I'd be careful of any strings attached. That is a good idea about the monitoring software on the IRLP node. I use that on mine, and it sends an email to my cell phone when the power drops, then again when it is restored.

Not trying be a smart a$$, so please don't take this comment that way, but what is the service worth to the community? SKYWARN, and up here in Canada CANWARN, are valuable services that can save lives. Property can be replaced, lives can't. Maybe there is some local, state or federal money that could be tapped into or maybe even some private money for that matter. Maybe suppliers would be willing to give the group a break on pricing or even provide it at a substantial savings to the group. I would go direct to the manufacturer. Couple of thoughts on monitoring power outage. - Some controllers have inputs that can be monitored and if a signal is sensed it sets off an alarm. But a walwart could be plugged into the main receptacle and connected to a controller input with some cleaned up DC of course. In the event of a power failure, the controller would no longer see the precense of the required voltage and notification could be provided, hopefully spoken if that option is available, and a designated person(s) could attend the site to check power. If you know your runtime on the UPS, you know what your response time needs to be. - I forgot that there was an IRLP computer at the site. In that case, some UPS monitoring software will run on a unix/linux platform, there is notification as well, as this software can advise you of outages, self test results etc, etc by email. I am thinking here of the APC line, we use them at our data centre for backup server power and in all of our LAN closets for backup switch stack power. I mentioned APC, I have nothing to do with APC, I have only used their products and have always been pleased with the results.

As "religious" arguments go -- it looks as if this is one thing we all agree on :) I just spend a few hours cleaning all of the old tape off of the wiring harnesses on TWO DB-420s. I removed the old, cleaned things up, replaced it with 33+ and placed aluminum foil tape over it to deflect the UV.

My preference is to use Scotch 33+ tape and to put two layers over the joint, stretching it gently so that it forms a very goo d bond to the coax. THEN I put the rubber tape over the Scotch 33+. When it comes time to remove the whole collective seal the 33+ removes very nicely from the coax and the connectors. (the same trick goes for those that use Co ax-Seal or similar mastic-based products. Put a layer of good quality tape under it and you won't be spending hours getting the stuff out of the knurlings of the PL259 or type N connectors).

Subject: California County Taking Actions To Silence ALL Ham Activity From: www radiobanter com San Luis Obispocounty supervisors took drastic and unprecedented action yesterday by passing an ordinance that would prohibit amateur radio operators, known as "hams", from operating their transmitting stations. The measure was put in place to eliminate what officials said were health risks associated with transmitters located close to children. A legal struggle is expected. By a vote of 4 to 1 with one abstention, the governing board of SLO county took action aimed at addressing a recent Stanford University study that showed a correlation between ham radios and attention de ficit disorder and hyperactivity in children, as well as nagging reports of interference caused by radio hams operating their high-powered transmitters in residential neighborhoods. "Our primary responsibility is to provide a safe environment for children to live without the dangerous effects of radio waves constantly bombarding them and causing proven neurological and psychological problems," said E. Duane Nyborg, an attorney who represented the county in several court cases in the past year. "Hams are not the only culprits, but they are usually in very close proximity to children and are no doubt a major contributor to the health problems we've been seeing. The interference is just the last straw that convinced the county that something had to be done about it." Atascadero city manager Laura Lopez said that she has seen a tenfold increase in the number of complaints of interference from ham radio operators in the last six months. New housing developments which have dramatically increased the population there and placed homes unusually close to each other are the predominant contributing factor. Similar conditions exist in most of the county. "We have radio hams getting into toasters, electric pianos, light bulbs, everything, from their powerful transmitters that cause all this static. Many of our citizens can't use basic appliances or watch television because of all the junk that the hams are broadcasting," she tol d the Press-Telegram by telephone. Hams can't say they didn't see this coming. They were warned by the county last year that if they did not submit to a check of their stations by officials, they would have limits imposed on their operation. Few consented to the searches, which most decried as invasive. But nobody expected a total ban on transmissions. "This is outrageous. You'd better believe we're going to fight back and win. This is a totalitarian seizure of our rights that is totally illegal and can't stand up," said Frank Wilson, a local ham club president. He said there were no formal plans for an appeal yet but preparations were underway. Wilson claims that a federal preemption of local zoning ordinances, called PRB-1, delineates three rules for local municipalities to follow in accomodating antenna structures such as are used by hams. But Nyborg says that PRB-1 applies to antenna structures only, and not the transmitters used to feed the antennas with a radio signal. "We know all about PRB-1. That's why we said nothing about antennas. This law is not about antennas. It goes after the root of the problem, which is the transmitters that put out huge signals that get into the brains of our children and short-circuit them out. Those are the facts, that's what the scientific evidence points to," he said at a news conference called shortly after the county's action. In 2008, a grou p of researchers in the school of Environmental Health and Safety at Stanford published their findings that exposure to ham radio signals for three hours per day increased the risk of hyperactivity and related disorders by 10% in children aged 12 and under. This effect was seen when a typical ham radio was turned on up to ¼ mile away. The San Luis Obispo city office says that up to 11,000 children in that city live that close to a ham radio station. The Stanford study showed that frequencies around 3.5, 7, and 14 Megahertz were the most harm

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MASTR II PTT
It would help if you would post a schematic showing how you are wiring it, and what is is you are wanting to do. When you said there is only 1/2 volt difference between on and off, it indicates that your transistor is wired incorrectly. Working from memory (and that is suspect!), you wouldn't need any resistors in the collector-emitter circuit, just a resistor in the base circuit for current limiting, and another from the base to the emitter for bias. Additionally, if you are switching a relay, you'd need a reverse biased diode across the relay coil (if there isn't one internally) to prevent damage to the transistor. I don't think you'd need a relay to switch PTT on a MastrII, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong. A typical repeater controller uses an open collector transistor to switch external devices, which is a fancy way of saying that the transistor acts like a switch, and can be used to switch PTT. When the transistor is turned on by the controller CPU, it simply pulls the PTT line to ground, thereby keying the transmitter. Without looking up the specs of a Com port, I couldn't say if it can be used for that, especially since I don't know which control signal you are using. Someone else mentioned using the printer port and it seems to me that it would be ideal for your application.

I like your thinking, and it pretty much reflects my point of view. This brings to mind an amateur on another list who has a linked system in a large city, maybe Chicago, I don't remember; at any rate, it is an area with no available pairs at all.

I feel compelled to make this one comment. Consider for a moment the fact that when one employs a repeater, they are effectively sitting on two Amateur frequencies within a given geographic area. If I were to claim two Amateur frequencies let's say for instance on the HF band, and tell others they cannot use them what would most of us say? It seems to me that repeater coodination in the Amateur band is more of a courtesy than anything else. I see no reason that if and when a given repeater in not in use that like any other frequency or split in this case, that someone else can't use it as long as there is no interference to another station in operation. I know that may upset some, but we need to take responsibility for our operations as Amateurs. It's not that I don't believe in closed repeaters or wish to chastise those who do, but by default I believe they may be right on this one. I haven't even touched on the fact that repeater usage is down dramatically in most areas in the country.

[Repeater-Builder] RE: follow up on lightening strike last spring
I know its been a long time since I first posed the question on what might be causing the noise we were experiencing after being hit by lightening. After many trips to the Technical shop for testing, we replaced the repeater ( was a vertex 5000, now a Icom ur2000) and are in process of checking out controllers. The duplexers were my big worry. And yes, it would seem that concern wasn't unfounded. We started experiencing a degradation on the receive side of the repeater and then, a leakage from the cans. We had the duplexers checked out with two different service monitors and found nothing! The technician who works on duplexers took ours apart and found only a little bit of carbon, but that was it. they checked out ok. We put them back into service and the noise was there making communications impossible. We are now going to replace them with a 6 configuration instead of the four we have been using. My question to the list is, besides the noise factor and crackling noise, is there any other methode of discovering if the can's are bad or not? Yes, I did and have been losing sleep over this one. I also wish to thank Kevin and the group for all their feedback on my question I put in last summer. You helped more than you know. Rich Ranta K8JX www.w8usa.org
[Repeater-Builder] RE: follow up on lightening strike last spring response
Sorry if I've been late in posting. First, the antenna and hard line is ok. We've tested that part out and its working. We think ( I ) that we got zapped through a unused phone line which is mounted behind the repeater rack. Yes, we have tested the can's using both a IRL (?sp) and a General Dynamics service monitor. They were taken apart and cleaned and retuned. Everything indicated they were functioning normally. Till we put them back in service. I don't know if they were tested with a dummy load. The technicians made many trips to the site: the technicians worked for the company that we rent the site from. We replaced all of the connectors and only found one that had scorched indications on it, but that was all. I asked if any of you knew how to find out if a can was operational, because all the test equipment that was used indicated they were ok. We finally found a workable solution. We added a fifth can, tuned to the transmit freq. That stoped the crackling noise. Now we're going to replace the can's, and go with a 6 can configuration. this is what was reconmended by the technician. Rich K8JX www.w8usa.org

Amateurs are secondary users for 420-450MHz, with military and radio location being primary.

Allegedly this was to allow luxury cars to be imported without modifying their electronic door and security keys. Not surprisingly there are a few luxury cars still parked near amateur repeaters that can't be unlocked :-) Due to poorly written legislation, a whole lot of other devices have now flooded the market, including continuously transmitting data modules, and all cause a lot of trouble to amateur operators and repeaters. The bottom end of the band 420-430MHz of the amateur band has also been eroded by government digital radio networks (because it's cheaper to import equipment from overseas that's already in that band). Amateurs in parts of the country are no longer allowed to use that part of the band. I hope the FCC doesn't follow suit although it sounds like they already are!

I simply drilled and tapped two 4-40 holes on a flat portion of the outside fin, and mounted the thermal switch after applying some heat-conductive paste. I used a three-inch low-EMI Panasonic fan blowing right on the fins. This is a 45-watt repeater set for about 30 watts output.

However, using it for fan control is not only expensive, but unnecessary. A fan blowing on a transmitter heat sink does absolutely nothing immediately after the transmitter is keyed, since the heat sink is likely at ambient temperature. It takes a period of time for the heat sink to warm up, so operating the fan prematurely is a waste of energy- which may be an issue for a solar-powered repeater. IMHO, the most efficient means of fan control is also the cheapest: A thermal switch. My first choice is a Cantherm #R2005015 normally-open thermostat that closes at 50 degrees Celsius, about 122 degrees Fahrenheit. When attached to a heat-sink fin, it turns the fan on when necessary, and keeps it on until the heat sink cools below about 100 degrees F- around body temperature.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Msf5000 Low Power alarms
I'm not quite sure I understand your question.
The procedure puts it into normal condition. Nothing further to do.
For a conventional MSF5000 (NON-trunking) that is, a radio always
without the RF sensor installed, the values 00 and FF are what is
loaded at factory; e.g. normal.
The problem usually happens when someone replaces a CLB SCB(analog)
board with CXB SSCB that came from a 800 trunking radio. It will
contain the setpoint values from its previous "home".
They need to be reset to FACTORY default for CONVENTIONAL stations.
Non-trunking=no RF sensor = Factory setpoint value of 00,FF.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] RC-96 Controller Problem
I've never heard of Eproms having a finite lifetime, although I will readily admit to not being completely knowledgeable of them. There may be differences in quality, the cheaper ones are simply failing, or maybe the Eprom wasn't burned properly. An Eprom's principal enemy is static electricity. After being exposed to it, the damage may be immediately apparent, or it may take days, weeks or years before manifesting itself. This is the voice of experience, but that is another story... On the other hand, your report of it starting to work properly when you power cycled it indicates to me that you had a possible data corruption in RAM that was cleared out by rebooting. That is very common with microprocessor based equipment.

Stray gamma rays can corrupt RAM. It's rare here deep in the atmosphere, but it does happen.

It is also possible for RF to affect microprocessor circuitry. Again, if properly constructed and bypassed, this is rare. In older circuitry, the bypass capacitors that shunt noise to ground in computer circuitry, age and lose their efficacy.

Are voice IDs, courtesy > tones, and coverage footprints beyond a 25-mile radius just more than > people can handle nowadays? It's an interesting question you pose. Here in Colorado, the Colorado Connection (www.colcon.org) does a great job maintaining a state-wide VHF linked system. People don't exactly "shy away" from it, but if there's a local standalone repeater they'll often choose that before the linked system. When they need it, they know its there -- would be the mentality I would ascribe to it. My club (well, the one I found myself President of anyway!), the Colorado Repeater Association (www.w0cra.org - man I need to go update the website!) has a smaller-footprint linked VHF system for the Front Range with three sites, and it gets quite a bit of use -- but I generally think that's because of two things: - We have a LOT of nets from other groups... Colorado QRP club, Colorado YL's, Edge of Space Sciences (EOSS), Colorado Statewide RACES Net, our own club Net, Rocky Mountain Monitoring Net, and a local ARES Net. This gives people a connection to others and a reason to be there -- on certain nights. I wouldn't say the folks in all those groups always monitor the system, however. They show up for their social group, and probably have the repeater in a memory channel and/ or even in a scanner... but many of the folks in those organizations have other clubs and repeaters they "go home" to, after Nets. - At all other times, our club "markets" itself as a "ragchew" club. People are welcome to chat about whatever they like as long as they keep it clean and generally family-oriented. - We also have plenty of toys. IRLP, EchoLink, Autopatch... about the only thing we haven't done is remote-base type equipment. All the sites have access to the toys in some fashion or another, even if not on all bands/repeaters. We also have a number of standalone repeaters, at the same sites -- and two standalone repeaters at a very high site. The VHF high-site standalone repeater is constantly in use. The UHF high-site repeater gets a decent amount of use, but is quieter. The two UHF's at the lower sites get almost no use at all, other than folks making calls for family members -- they've become the "quiet calling" repeaters, I guess. I lament that they get little use, since they work so well -- but they aren't a maintenance headache, and generally just keep running and running -- so I guess they'll be there for while. Our 220 repeater is part of the VHF linked system, or it'd get little use. There's about four people who have rigs and use it. Other clubs in the area have excellent 220 repeaters that are virtually unused. It was installed back when Novices had voice privs on 220, and we could full-time link it so Novices could talk to their Tech, General, Advanced (remember those?) and Extra friends. UHF around here is full of privately owned-operated machines scattered in-between the club systems, and after a while you learn that the owner(s) and a few friends always monitor certain systems, even if they're listening to something else on VHF. Most have coverage the equals or rivals the club systems, many on the same sites. So - it's a mix. We're the only club with a multi-site linked system that I know of, besides the Statewide system. Right now, listening to the scanner, there's one of our elderly ham "characters" talking to one of our newer female members. He's always listening to the VHF linked system, and on there quite a bit between nets and other events. They've been talking on the Denver repeater for about an hour, and I've heard one or two other calls on the VHF high-site standalone today, but no traffic on the UHF's... pretty quiet for a day before a holiday. It'll pick up during drive-time, probably. The high-site UHF just popped up with a couple of our more active hams who were obviously both out and about, looking to m

RE: [Repeater-Builder] The emails we get at repeater-builder....
I made some comments on this subject in another email, and they weren't aimed at anyone who falls in the "baseball card license" category, but towards those who won't take the time to do a little preliminary research before asking a question. My comments weren't even aimed specifically towards this group, but others, especially those that are for a specific model of radio. This group is comprised of (in my opinion) the greatest collection of talent and expertise that you'd find most anywhere, and a lot can be learned by just reading the messages. My knowledge of repeaters is very limited so I seldom post here, but I do read most of the messages. On other groups, I've seen many questions posed by people who have obviously never opened the manual. So, to avoid falling into the "baseball card" category, just: 1. Read the manual! 2. Search the message base! (hint: you can see 98% of all questions asked by going back only two to three weeks) 3. Use Google! Then if you still can't find the answer, by all means ask!
