Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Dayton check list
Well, to prove that wonders never cease, the gas prices LOWERED back down today! Just goes to show you - anything CAN happen at Dayton! For the record, the day of rain they were calling for was dry. They were calling for sun tomorrow and Sunday. Hate to see what that means. Me - 1 : WXman - 0 BTW, calling for sunny and 72 tomorrow, and now isolated thunderstorms Sunday afternoon. They might just have tomorrow right. Again, anything can happen at Dayton. I bet it rains Sunday, and not just isolated. Joe M. Richard wrote: Wow. Here in Reno, NV it is $2.49.

[Repeater-Builder] Poor Repeater RX
Hello, Well here is one that cant be figured out locally, thought I would throw it to the experts. My high school radio club has recently made a few upgrades to our VHF repeater. We replaced the Ringo Ranger antenna with a Comet GP-9 Antenna, replaced the 9913 coax with Andrews 1/2'' Heliax, and put a Mirage Pream inline. The problem we are having is mainly with the preamp (I think) I will describe the setup and give all the specs first. The repeater Rx and Tx is from a 110 Watt Motorola Mitrek power out from the Mitrek is 50 watts. The power supply is an Astron RS-70M, Duplexer is a Sinclair Q202G (yes, it is properly tuned and working as it should) the antenna is rooftop on the schools theater building (the roof is about 75 feet AGL and the antenna is on an 8' mast pipe) there are no obstructions for at least 5 miles around. The preamp setup is as follows, it is after the duplexers and before the reciever. We have the preamp directly connected into the duplexer and a jumper going from the preamp to the Rx bulkhead on the repeater cabinet. The preamp has two settings, a higher gain and a lower gain setting, initially we had it setup to the higher gain setting but I went up today and switched over to lower gain and turned the power output to 30 watts. The problem we have is the Rx is not what is should be. It is a tad worse then when we were running the repeater at 15 watts without the Preamp. I would really like to get the preamp to work like it should in the repeater system, I just dont have any ideas on what to do next to get better sensitivity on the machine. Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Alexander KG4OGN P.s, all jumpers are made with double shielded ridgid coax, so thats not the cause of the problem. Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Poor Repeater RX
Is the preamp in a shielded box? Is the power to the preamp via a feedthrough capacitor? How does the repeater perform without the preamp? What does the transmitter look like on a spectrum analyzer? How does the repeater work with a simple 1/4 wavelength vertical? Is all of the cable going into the duplexer, from both the transmitter and the receiver, double shielded (RG-214/U or better)? The MITREK shares a common board between transmitter and receiver making duplexing difficult without desense. HOw does the repeater perform using a second MITREK as the receiver? Some ideas as to where to look. Hope you find the problem. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 10:18 PM 05/20/05, you wrote: Hello, Well here is one that cant be figured out locally, thought I would throw it to the experts.

[Repeater-Builder] UHF ham band offset dipole array availability
I'm looking for a UHF ham band antenna with an offset pattern like the DB-411. Is it possible to get a ham band DB-411 or are there any comparable antennas available that wont break the bank? I don't need anything particularly heavy duty as it will be used in a mild climate low wind situation. I've heard of people using a 450 DB-411 in the ham band, how significantly will that impair performance? Thanks Steve, kf6fkk Yahoo!
