[Repeater-Builder] How to Buy a New Repeater Station: Radio Buying 101

[Eric Lemmon]

I want to share with this list my recent experience in buying a new and
complete MTR2000 Repeater Station.

One of my Personal Rules is that I never pay "sticker price" for cars or
anything else.  I digress:  Several years ago, when I was shopping for a
sporty car for my wife, I looked at a (then new) 1979 Mazda RX-7 that
actually had a dealer-applied sticker that was $2,000 ABOVE the factory
sticker price!  When the salesman came out to try to "sell" me on the
car, I informed him that not only was I NOT going to pay $2,000 above
the sticker price, I was going to pay about $1,200 BELOW the sticker
price.  We entered into a lot of haggling, in which the Sales Manager
participated, but I did get my car for about $3,000 below the window
price- but I got a complete set of Mazda service manuals as part of the
deal (a $250 value!)

I bring this anecdote up, because I believe that many individuals and
clubs (apparently) pay whatever the ONE dealer quotes them for
commercial-grade repeaters.  I use a different tack.  I put together a
specific list of equipment I require, and I ask several dealers to
submit a quote for EXACTLY the equipment I specified, inclusive of all
taxes and shipping charges.  There is no room whatsoever for add-ins,
options, and hidden charges.

When I recently sent out an RFQ (Request for Quotation) for a
T5544/T5766 MTR2000 Repeater Station to six different Motorola dealers,
I received quotes ranging from $3923 to $5150.  That's a range of
$1,200!  One of the dealers had the gall to claim that his quote was
"highly competitive."  NOT!  His quote was among the highest, and at a
level I consider to be gouging.  I have no doubt that some individuals
and clubs will pay this guy whatever he asks, and if these shoppers
don't have the common sense to shop around, they deserve to be gouged.

If and when you or your club decides to purchase a new commercial-grade
repeater, make these dealers fight for your business!  I know that the
dealers who do a few million bucks a month in radio sales can afford to
give you a low-margin bid, but any dealer who wants to BUILD his or her
business must seek out low-margin sales in order to achieve that
status.  Moreover, don't feel that you have to keep some shyster in
business!

I always include Houston Communications and Delmmar Communications in
any RFQ I issue.  Not surprisingly, one or the other of these two
companies get most of my business.  DISCLAIMER:  I have no financial
connection to either of these companies; I am merely a satisfied
customer of both.

Funny, I do the same thing with cars.

My first was a '78 Mustang which I still have. Called
6 dealers, 3 local and 3 in Toronto. One of the dealers
in Toronto got the deal by a margin of 3 or 4 hundred
dollars. Doesn't sound like much but the NEW Mustang
"only" cost me $4200 back in '78 :)

It works for a lot of things.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How to Buy a New Repeater Station: Radio Buying 101

[W1LKE]

As a former Motorola dealer employee, and a government purchaser of radios, I also found the same to be true. I bought a HT from the dealership as an employee (part-time). I liked the radio so much, I placed an order for 12 more for my fire department. The difference in price was several hundred dollars. I obtained bids from 2 other dealers, as the projected expense required it under the city rules. As a part-time employee, I bought the city radios from a competitor, at a savings of $100+ each. This was not a closed bid deal, and my employer was given the chance to match the price, but declined. 
 
On another note, I went shopping in 1994 for a Pontiac Sunbird. The model/option combination was found via the vehicle locator system, and the dealership would not budge on their price. I was able to read the name of the dealer that actually had the vehicle and drive the 70 miles to it. I bought it there, for a savings of $1400. This was not a similar car, but the exact same car!

Chris,

You have given credence to what has been a little-known "dirty secret." 
Thank you for adding a vote for consumer awareness in the marketplace.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Help Needed with UHF Micor PA TLE1713A

[Brian Williams]

What alterations need to be done in the sensing circuits, What I have done
exactly was convert these 2-watt repeaters to 75 watt with a high power PA I
had. Where would I find the info on the sensing circuits??
I don't see a problem on the bench into a dummy load, I am getting full
power out of both of them.
Thanks, Brian

[Repeater-Builder] Spectrum S7R

[Jed Barton]

Hey guys.
OK, I know there is a lot of stuff going around about these guys, but
one of the clubs around here asked the question so I figured I'd pass it
on.
They wanna get an s7R for 220.
Any thoughts?
Anyone used one?
I personally have my own idea on what they should use, but I figured I
would ask anyways.
Thanks,
Jed

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Spectrum Communications

[Steve Bosshard]

Same here in Central Texas - one 2M box in Gatesville, and one in
Lampasas - had a little problem with a voltage regulator and heat
sinking, otherwise been pretty stable - had one from downtown Houston in
a few weeks ago, and the chemicals in the atmosphere really corroded the
receiver front end resonating capacitors, but otherwise AOK.

Certainly not the highest quality product, but not trash either.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Spectrum Communications

[skipp025]

All the Spectrum Communications badmouthing 
proves that word can get around when you 
treat people bad. 

With a few minor issues that I've resolved, I've 
had good service from most all my Spectrum 
Radio Equipment. Including a 224 repeater on the 
air for some years now. 

When you buy any used gear, half the battle 
is finding the circuit diagrams. 

Friends tell friends that used flea market 
electronic equipment is always caveat emptor, 
regardless of the brand. You didn't say how 
much the seller wanted for the Repeater, but 
for the right price, I would have bought it, 
fixed any problems and used it somewhere. 

At Dayton, there's just rows and rows of this 
kind of fun. 

cheers

No. There is only one synthesizer, and it cannot generate tx and rx at 
the same time.
This will be true for virtually all synthesized radios, unless it was 
specifically made as a repeater from the factory.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Syntor X as a repeater?

[Tom Manning]

Steve
As Jim wrote a Syntor X cannot be made into a repeater but makes a dandy two
meter mobile or base station using the Piexx mod kit.  You could possibly make a
repeater using two units, one as a receiver and one as a transmitter.  If you
desire more details of the Piexx mod you see my e-mail address.

I have a Manuel on order for a Vertex 5000 VHF 
repeater. Can anyone tell me the proper way to tune the receive for the 2 
meter ham band. 146.040 mhz.
 
Thanks, in advance Al

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Syntor X as a repeater?

[Neil McKie]

  Or has two separate synthesizers: one for receive and one for 
 transmit.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectrum S7R

[Mike WA6ILQ]

They'd be MUCH better off getting a 220mhz conversion of
a Master II or a Micor from repeater-builder.  It's just a better
radio to start with.  As my dad used to say about folks who
build houses it doesn't matter how skilled the plasterer is if
the wall falls over.

See 
or 

The only change I'd make is that if a preamp was needed I'd use
an AngleLinear - but then I'm biased.  Chip makes GOOD stuff.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Please help with a portable repeater case

[KB2TRQ]

Hello Christian!
The tool case was found right by the tool boxes in the store I purchased mine at.They have everything from small storage boxes for screws&such to large roller type cabinets.
The inside dimensions are 17 inches long,12 inches wide and 5 inches deep.The lid is 
1 1/2" of the 5 inch depth.The box has a aluminum skin over wood type construction,which
makes it easier to cut vent holes and run mounting screws through.
Hope this helps-good luck!
Scott KB2TRQ

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Spectrum Communications

[Chris Peterson]

Somebody a few months back offered to trade any Spectrum gear for
commercial-grade gear.

Was that you?

I have a Spectrum S7R repeater operating on 442.750 that's collecting dust.
I bought it, spent a lot of time fixing it, and had it on the air for a
while before I replaced it with a Micore.  Last time I had it on the air it
was operating fine and had a clean transmitter, but I don't really feel like
doing anything with it anymore.

Anybody interested?... :-)

I know it's crap...  I just want it gone...

Trades welcome...
Chris
