[Repeater-Builder] 440-450 Utah Band Plan
Here in Utah, our amateur repeaters share sites with commercial and the broadcasters repeaters. We chose the Low in/Hi out plan on UHF so that our amateur repeaters could co-exist with them at our mountain top sites and not get de-sensed with the numerous 450.xxx broadcasters and 451.xxx commercial repeaters. We could not see having our amateur repeater receivers at 449.xxx being so close to the 100 watt 450.xxx and 451.xxx repeater transmitters. To avoid intermod that can be generated at the site, we install dual isolators to get around 70 db of isolation on our transmitters and we use band pass type cavities and or BpBr duplexers on every repeater. Some locations have transmitter combiners that use dual isolators on each port. Everyone cooperates and keeps their sites clean and removes unused antennas and hardware from their towers. This has proven to be sound engineering practice for our repeaters. These repeaters are located at Farnsworth Peak which is 18 miles west of Salt Lake City where it is classified as the 3rd most RF populated site in the USA! All of the local NTSC, DTV, FM Broadcast and most all Two Way repeater systems are located here. I also own and operate several VHF and UHF repeaters.

You guessed right! The deviation meter panel contains an oscillator injection buffer amp, mixer, 455 IF strip, discriminator, audio amp, and deviation meter. You can use either the peaking generator or an external signal generator. -- --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "wb6ymh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I just picked up a S1059B Motorola test set at the swap meet yesterday that has the peaking generator and deviation meter panel options.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 440-450 band plan (The normal North vs So Cal :-)
Based on this argument, why is the commercial 450-460 band not inverted from the commercial 460-470 band? The same logic would apply. If ham repeaters were LIHO, the mixing between two systems would be much worse. For example, you could not have a 443/8.500 MHz repeater co-site with a 458/3.500 MHz repeater. The TXs would each mix to end up on the other's input frequency. Keeping everything HILO gives you much more margin (attenuation/spectrum/filtering) to work with. There is also the additional problem that some commercial equipment is much harder to get to RX in the low end of 440-450. It's generally easier to move a TX farther out of band than a RX. HILO also keeps the user RXs (with much more poor selectivity) from overloading due to the adjacent commercial TXs. With HILO, they are all at least 5 MHz away.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] deviation meter in Motorola test set?
Skip, Some versions of that Test Set had the deviation meter conversion. If you can find a copy, the manual you need is Motorola Publication 6881011A01, which is described as "S1056A/B/C-S1059A/B/C Portable Test Sets S1062C Conversion Kit (for SLN1000A/B Deviation Meter Panel)."

Hi Andy,
For the TK-840 Mobile you should obtain the kct-19 accessory cable
and a copy of the service manual. Most of the functions you're asking
about are brought out to the rear connnector supplied on the end
("flying lead") of the plug and play cable.
Your local Kenwood Dealer should be able to supply everything. If
not Kenwood Parts "Pac-parts" is another public source you can use
your credit card to order what you need.
