[Repeater-Builder] Re: Help with a Micor Compa Station
Neil, Just wanted to get out to all on this radio. I have no problems at all powering it down to around 60 watts if that is possible. Also would like to know if that will increase the duty cycle from its 20%. I have not called or stopped by because I have been out of town and just got back a few days ago. I will find time to call you and come by to show you the radio. I would like to turn the node radio into a repeater at some point and am wondering if this is the radio to do it with. Maybe I should go and just buy an already built repeater. Dan --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "d_tucker.rm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > My name is Dan Tucker > Here is what I have.

I was more concerned with how the RBI-1 treats the radio when the reset button is pressed on the back of the RBI-1. From what I've seen, the RBI-1 simply reads what is currently "in" the radio and syncs to that. It doesn't actually set the radio to some default value. I just wanted to make sure I was seeing the proper behavior on an otherwise untested RBI-1.

Re: Fw: [Repeater-Builder] Direct TV type dish?
I haven't combined dishes YET... the multiswitch I have is for a single dual LNB but there are 5x8 multiswitches out there that claim 4 LNB plus antenna input for 8 outputs. Do a Google search on "directv multiswitch" and you'll get thousands of hits, mostly folks selling them. Just be sure that you get one designed for Directv control. Perhaps Tom or one of the other guys will have a suggestion for one they've used. I'd be interested in their ideas too. Right now I am not looking for multiple satellites, rather very solid signal from one, to get rid of as much rain fade as possible.

I work for a high-end Custom home electronics company and deal with directv all of the time. Heres a few bits you may or may not find intresting. 1. Rain fade. Want to limit this? Put up three 1 meter dishes to look at the birds and have better signal reception. Yes, its an eyesore, but you hardly ever get rain fade!. The dishes are getting smaller and looking at three different positions in the sky, so they give up gain with the dish itself to look at all of these at the same time. They get away with this because the birds themselves are relativly high power. You can use up to a 1 meter dish to look at any one position in the sky and get much better signal, but not any bigger because again, the dish is too focused, At the 101 degree position there are actually three satellites which if I remember right are about 50 miles apart from each other in orbit, but at 24000 miles away thats virtually a single point in the sky from here. However, a dish bigger than 1 meter can single out one of the satellites. For you who have directv and have looked at your signal meter, with a 1 meter dish setup almost all of the transp! ond! ers will read 100 all of the time with clear skys or even light clouds, and you hear toto flying by when rain fade actually knocks the signal out all together. 2. For long runs or commercial installs the standard is RG-11 coax to maintain signal level. There are amplifiers used for this as well. Stacker systems are becoming more common in MDU and high rise buildings. Basically, conventional satellite systems work 900 to 1500 as noted in a previously. The issue is that the reciever has to send a signal to the dish to switch between the a and b lnbs to look at the different birds, they cant both come down the line at the same time because they are both oviously coming down at the same frequency. You cannot just "split" the signal to multiple recievers because they would battle for control over the dish as channels are changed. Because of that distribution of that to dozens of recievers in a large building starts to get complicated because of the voltage switches needed to facilitate the switching. The Stacker system sends the second dish feed down at 1500- 2 gig, so that all of the signals are on the line at the same ! time,! a on 900-1500, b on 1500 - 2000. Many of the recievers out there already have tuners built in that can accept the wideband input, just a simple trip into the service menu on the box and turn it on! Now we can amplify and split as needed to feed as many as you want! But RG-11 and 2 gig rated splitters and amps are a must. Thats my two cents on the matter.

The dishes are getting smaller and looking at three different positions in the sky, so they give up gain with the dish itself to look at all of these at the same time. They get away with this because the birds themselves are relativly high power. You can use up to a 1 meter dish to look at any one position in the sky and get much better signal, but not any bigger because again, the dish is too focused, At the 101 degree position there are actually three satellites which if I remember right are about 50 miles apart from each other in orbit, but at 24000 miles away thats virtually a single point in the sky from here. However, a dish bigger than 1 meter can single out one of the satellites. For you who have directv and have looked at your signal meter, with a 1 meter dish setup almost all of the transp! onders will read 100 all of the time with clear skys or even light clouds, and you hear toto flying by when rain fade actually knocks the signal out all together. 2. For long runs or commercial installs the standard is RG-11 coax to maintain signal level. There are amplifiers used for this as well. Stacker systems are becoming more common in MDU and high rise buildings. Basically, conventional satellite systems work 900 to 1500 as noted in a previously. The issue is that the reciever has to send a signal to the dish to switch between the a and b lnbs to look at the different birds, they cant both come down the line at the same time because they are both oviously coming down at the same frequency. You cannot just "split" the signal to multiple recievers because they would battle for control over the dish as channels are changed. Because of that distribution of that to dozens of recievers in a large building starts to get complicated because of the voltage switches needed to facilitate the switching. The Stacker system sends the second dish feed down at 1500- 2 gig, so that all of the signals are on the line at the same time,! a on 900-1500, b on 1500 - 2000. Many of the recievers out there already have tuners built in that can accept the wideband input, just a simple trip into the service menu on the box and turn it on! Now we can amplify and split as needed to feed as many as you want! But RG-11 and 2 gig rated splitters and amps are a must. Thats my two cents on the matter.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Doug Hall RBI-1 question
Ken; I have a DH that feed remotes on 146, 222, 440, and 1292 and have on occasion had them get confused. This has always been after a hit on the power prior to my installing battery backup. When the reset is don all it will do is default the DH RBI-1 to the first remote. In my case the 2 meter one. When an inquiry is done and the controller responds with, in your case, 146.520 the remote will be placed on 146.520. Also if a reset command is sent to the controller it will also place the remote on the default frequency. I use a Link Communications RLC-3. Richard D.
