greetings, I have a pair of 221s radio's. they were a repeater pair. the tx radio lost the power output so I have switched the roles of the radio's. I would wonder if anyone can help me with the programming of these radio's. I have the program and the box to connect to the radio. thanks, Loren.
RE: [Repeater-Builder] ic 221
Read and save each radio programming. Then swap the programming.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] N connectors
Jim, A few months back, I bought a big bag of crimp BNCs for RG58. They arrived without the pins. I think these sleeves should work for you, since specs show both cables are 3/16 inch diameter. Maybe someone out there can verify this, but if you think will they will work, let me know how many you need. If you have a good supply, I will trade you all the sleeves you need for a few complete connectors, in return.

I work for a theme park, and our seasonal supervisors carry GP300's. It never fails; someone's radio ALWAYS gets wet when it rains. They'll be transmitting for at least 5-15 minutes straight. The company that maintains/programs our radios never program the TOT in the damn things. Now, Park Operations always says the same thing when a situation like this occurs: Park Base to all units. Please check for an open mic. You can try to tell them all you want that the person who is transmitting and walking around the park IS NOT going to hear them, but of course they know better. Base overrides the portables. They truly believe that the person transmitting is going to hear them. Oh, and 90-95% of everyone wears and earphone.

You could faintly hear talking, and mobile flutter. It continued for, oh, maybe 20 minutes or so. Either they never programmed the TOT on the radio, or, knowing FD's, they have an old radio that doesn't have one, like an HT-90 or something, maybe even an MT-500 or HT-220...

[Repeater-Builder] Re: A Monday Laugh
An unused repeater is a complete waste of a repeater pair. When the emergency comes along that it was saved for There will be no one there listening for the call! I know, the former trustee of our club repeater wanted to save it for emergencies and now you can't raise anyone on it for any reason. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Jim B.

Plus, as you say, there'll be people listening. hmph-the more a repeater is used, the less likely I am to want to listen to it... Who wants a radio tied up all day long with chatter? You wind up missing something important on another frequency. And let's not forget-the longer a transmitter is up, the sooner it will fail. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL If it was made by man, it will fail-someday.
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Old Sinclair Duplexer
If you have questions on any old equipment including duplexers, first contact the manufacturer if they are still around. Sinclair is still around, try their web page sinctech(dot)com, or call tech support. The number is in their website under contact us. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, n3dab [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone have any info on the following VHF duplexer listed below.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] A Monday Laugh
Walk into the dispatch area with a handheld and say OK, I'm transmitting. Key down and over-ride my thumb on the button and make your voice come out of my speaker. Don't feel alone, I had to do just that to make a paving company dispatcher come to their senses. And the idiot had the nerve to call my boss and complain because I made her feel stupid after I went to extra trouble to show here when there was no one else in the room.
