Re: [Repeater-Builder] Having a 2 meter remote base radio in house with a 2 meter repeater, any options
A notch cavity on the remote radio tuned to notch out the repeater might help. Forget trying to use it close to your repeater frequency. It may work on 147 or high 146 pairs if they are strong signals. 73,Lee n9lv wrote: > What I need to know is if there is any type of isolator or other > device that I can put on my dual band radio that will keep my two > meter transmitter out of the 2 meter side of my radio.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Having a 2 meter remote base radio in house with a 2 meter repeater, any options
Mathew, We still need to know what RX and TX frequencies will be in the TM-731A radio. Do you intend to use this radio on both VHF and UHF? If your plan is to use the Kenwood on a fixed 2m simplex frequency that is not too close to the 145.410 MHz output of your repeater, you might be able to use a couple of bandpass cavities on it. It is far better (and complies with Part 97) to use a UHF simplex frequency for remote base operation. Again, a bandpass cavity may be necessary. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mathew QuaifeSent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 6:37 PMTo: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.comSubject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Having a 2 meter remote base radio in house with a 2 meter repeater, any options Hi Eric, the remote radio is basically a dual band radio that is tied into the system using the Doug Hall RBI-1.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Project advice
Hi Jim applies to all repeaters both commercial and ham Over here commercial rptrs are often called community repeaters were several users use the same freq base stn, but have different ctcss access tones. Say user 1 uses 77.0Hz tone, user 2 uses 110.9. If user one transmits then he accesses the base stn using his 77.0 tone but even though user 2 may have his set on he is locked out because his tone is 110.9. The different tones go via the tone access panel. Years ago when I used to service these the gear was mounted in a 5foot high 19 inch rack It comprised of the tone panel, main tx/rx and standby tx/rx. If the main failed then the standby came on line and to tell everyone the main had failed it transmitted a beep tone. Most of the ant,s were what we called SA460,s which were the pole with the 4 elements mounted around it. Another point of interest ham repeaters in the UK can only use vertical ants, no beams or yagi,s. 73 Steve - Original Message - From: "Jim B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 8:32 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Project advice > steve wrote: > > Hi > > > > a bit of info for you.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Project advice
Hi a bit of info for you. In the UK no repeaters are allowed to run in just talkthrough mode, ie, anyone can access and use them. On older rptrs a toneburst of 1750Hz was needed to open up the RX and as long as the rx was getting an incoming signal all was fine. When the rx ceased being used the rptr shut down and waited for the next 1750 access. All newer repeaters use ctcss on the rx,s and some use both ctcss and toneburst. It is obvious why rx access needs a tone just imagine what would happen if qrm opened up the squelch either the tx PA would go, unless you use time out, in the UK it is typicly 5mins, or users would just get loads of noise... As I have said before the situation is different in the UK in so much that you have to go through a long process to get permission to run a rptr and things like tx pwr out, ant,s, squelch sensitivity etc are all laid down for each rptr. 73 Steve - Original Message - From: "skipp025" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 4:36 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Project advice > Dick, > > There are other methods to restrict access... as in > burst/selective tone operation.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR 820
Hi Jim, I've never had a tone or ltr panel go bad in service (knocking on wood). I've had some ham repeater controllers crap, but never a commercial product. The Comm Spec TP-3200 has a well known problem with lock-up. Comm Spec will send you a free reset timer and install instructions if you simply ask for one. I believe the added circuit reboots the TP-3200 about every half hour with the small added timer board. (has 3 wire hook up). In the real world, it's probably about the best fix Comm Spec could have come up with. Although I've not yet had a tone or ltr panel fail, I always take spares along... when the repeater site is a 3.5 hour each way trip.

Jim, I'm sorry, but GMRS (part 95) repeaters are NOT required to have tone access. GMRS is a shared service and there is absolutely no requirement by the FCC that access is restricted by a PL tone. Same is true with at least my part 90 LMRS license, I'm not required to have CTCSS or DCS enabled on my repeater. For some assigments in part 90, maybe its a requirement but not on mine, VHF. I'm sorry but you have your info totally incorrect (I'm not trying to flame you). My appologies to the group re: regulations discussion. If someone wants to take this matter up with me, you can email me at robert @ rtoplus dot com.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radio ID
Southern Linc is a Nextel-Like LMR network with cellular option. It is a part of the "Southern Company" which also includes Savannah Electric and Power Company (among other holdings). It is up for refarming, as is Nextel, due to the Public Safety spectrum that it occupies. Treat it as a Nextel Mobile Base Station. I doubt there is any difference other than the codeplug, as you can "unlock" most of their phones to be used on either Nextel or Boost (the prepaid Nextel). -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 2:41 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Radio ID I saw this Posted a SOUTHERN LINC MOTOROLA MOBILE BASE STATION is this Some Special Motorola radio You All Down south Use and is named after You, Only kidding but I have never heard of this Model.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Power supply identification request.
The SP01 means it was a Special Product, a stock unit modified for the customer. You won't be able to find an exact schematic for it as Motorola apparently doesn't or won't release those kinds of things. I checked my MSF5000 manual and although there are numbers close to it, nothing matches exactly. Let's hope someone else can find a match to that TPN number.

Thanks for that prompt Bob. Found the number and it is TPN1226A with SP01 stamped next to this number.

[Repeater-Builder] Brass or Aluminum tuning slugs
Does anyone have a source for either brass or aluminum tuning slugs for the coils in Motorola Maxtracs? They slugs are pretty close to 6X32 or 3.5mmX.6 pitch and 1/4 inch long. I am trying to move some 42-50 Maxtracs up to 6 meters without much luck. Yahoo!
