HERE is the best help anyone can give you.
First, learn everything that you can about repeaters. When you can 
build, operate, and troubleshoot, it in basic terms and when you can 
answer your own questions then you a qualified to own a repeater. 
There are too many people buying and putting up repeaters with out 
knowing how they work and causing problems for the rest of us, and 
having a crappy sounding machine and can't fix them to go around.

Here in Kamloops BC, we have been using the RVS-8 on one of our local 
repeaters for a couple of years now. It has worked flawlessly the 
entire time. We didn't have any trouble setting it up and it has 
maintained its settings ever since. It is in a somewhat temperature 
stable environment in that the temp only changes from maybe 10C to 
35C between winter and summer.
We are currently running with 4 remote receivers but have 2 more 
planned for the not too distant future. The radios are surplus 
commercial Glenayre repeaters which are small modular rack mounted 
units. We currently run a 100W VHF transmitter and have 4 matching 
UHF receivers connected to a single Sinclair 310C4 UHF antenna via an 
8 port amplified multicoupler.
The remotes are all Glenayre VHF receivers with a mix of UHF 
transmitters.
I also have the channel disable lines from the RVS-8 connected to the 
controller so that I can disable individual receivers if necessary.
If I had to do it all over I would stay witht he RVS-8. It's a great 
little unit.
If you are interested, there are a few pictures here...

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Icom 4020

[Shanon Lee Herron]

Hello Joe,
 
   I have a 4520 but don't wish to sell it 
right now, maybe at a later date.  Matter of fact I have been working on it 
the past week to get it on the air with an external controller, an 
RC-1000V.  I would be glad to share what I have learned with you.  I 
also have some sheets from ACC on hooking up all of the Icom repeaters.  
Again willing to share.  I was hoping to scan them over to a Adobe PDF file 
and post them.  I also have all the manuals for the Icom repeaters.  I 
also have a 2m and 220 Icom repeater.  All have been adapted to external 
controllers.  I have also changed out the cables to RG-142 and connectors 
on the 2m and 220 to N connectors.  Killed the desence.  Pictures now 
available on these changes.
 
  The 4520 tuned up real nice into the 
ham band.  It was in the commercial area above when I got it.  The Tx 
does over 50 watts but I have turned it down to 30.  I bought it with a 
Vicor 100 watt amp, not sure if I will use it or not.  
 
  Let me know if you need the info.  If 
someone would help guide me, I will put the info up for posting somewhere.  
Time permitting. (what's that?)

[Repeater-Builder] icoms

[J.L.Chrisman]

Hi Gang,
 
  Thank to all who 
have assisted me...but I am still unclear on whether my m2 icoms will work in 
a  exec.    I am still having problems making the receive 
sensitive on the exec...I am using the icom from a working m2 conversion..same 
freq. at 443.525x 448.525r.  Is using the 2c icom from the m2 ok for use in 
the exec ?  The xmit icom from the m2 conversion worked well in the 
exec...   Do I need to do surgery on the oscillator multiplier?  
Sorry for asking again...but I am still befuddled. BTW, the reading was 
between.45 and 5 for 20db quieting    tnx again

I received a call from the dealer that sold me the repeater.  They said that
Kenwood had ordered a recall on all TK 750 and 850 repeaters.  They
redesigned the Transmitter.  IT has a much larger driver transistor and
final.

They will replace the board at no cost to you.

If you will only ever need 4 channels or less, go with the DHE, as it 
gets pretty expensive for more than 4 channels.
The DHE is a better unit, more stable, and less troublesome, but more 
expensive.

I have owned both, along with the 2 channel kits on my site, and the DHE 
is the best.  The pots on the LDG leave a lot to be desired, and it 
appears that the LDG unit changes with temperature, etc.  I have also 
had some trouble with the software doing some weird stuff with the LDG 
unit, but the DHE is all analogue so this isn't a problem.  The DHE uses 
10 turn (maybe 15 turn?) pots so setting is much more precise.

IMHO of course

Jim,

The RX should tune well enough. If not, visit 
. Be sure to have 
your MASTR II manual handy for referencing parts. (Yes, I need to update 
the article with proper LBI numbers) Modification of the helicals is in all 
likelihood unnecessary in your case. Good luck.
