[Repeater-Builder] Back up......
The list is back up.Enjoy! _/Please keep it under control./_ This list is nearly 10 years old. I have only had to do this one other time. Thank you to the good reliable membership that tries to help hold things together. For the others, I hope you have learned a thing or two. Since we were on vacation, some group members thought we weren't going to return (like I'm going to hold back a 4000+ membership !) Anyway, you are all invited to join JOHN MACKEY'S new group. See the details below. Regards, Kevin Custer - Original Message - From: John Mackey Since the Repeater-Builder yahoo group has been shut down with no word of if or when it will be operational, I have started a new yahoo group called building-repeaters. The idea of this group is for intelligent provocative discussions about building repeaters to happen on this new group without the temper tantrums of the moderators. Please feel free to join and tell all your friends about it. When sending your join request, please say something about ham radio or repeaters so I know you are not a spammer. thanks! Below is a link to the website for the yahoo group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/building-repeaters/

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Back up......
I have setup a forum for repeater builders. This is not meant as a replacement of this group but as an enhancement and a way to have discussion threads without having to have everyone on the list get a 1000 emails about stuff they don't care about. If anyone wants any new forum groups started let me know. http://sun2.highwayusa.com/repeaterforum/phpBB3/ Thanks, Vern KI4ONW
[Repeater-Builder] WTD - 220 bandpass cavity
Hello RBites I think I posted this previously, but still lloking for a 222 MHz bandpass cavity/filter. It is going in front of a pre-amp, so it does not have to handle any TX power. Direct replies appreciated. Thanks Mike / W5JR / Milton, GA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Repeater-Builder] WTD - 220 bandpass cavity
I bought one a few years back from I think it was FAR radio. It was new still sealed in the box from back in the 1960's A plugin module for a military radio that is adjustable. I use mine for with a transverter. I bet it would work great for you. I know where I have it stored and as soon as this thunderstorm passes I'll get the information. Until then try FAR radio website.

[Repeater-Builder] TX-RX 66-88 MHz Cavity to 6 Meters
Has anyone ever converted a 66-88 MHz Tx-Rx BpBr cavity for us on 6 Meters? I came across 2 of these and I could get them down to 57 MHz but that was about it. Thanks, Joe - WA7JAW

But it hasn't been met yet.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TX-RX 66-88 MHz Cavity to 6 Meters
I moved a couple of 400 mHz cavities up into the 450 band by removing a couple of large washers that were welded to the end of the center rod. If your cavities do not have a large washer on the end, or have one that can be increased in diameter by soldering a larger washer to the existing one, you might get yours down into the ham band by adding a larger washer. The washers in my cavities were silver plated along with the center rod, so that might be a problem for you, but worth a try - 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On Sat, 8/16/08, Joe Burkleo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Joe Burkleo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] TX-RX 66-88 MHz Cavity to 6 Meters To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, August 16, 2008, 9:33 PM Has anyone ever converted a 66-88 MHz Tx-Rx BpBr cavity for us on 6 Meters?
