Hi guys .I have purchased a sm4450sc from the us with a 93C56 eprom.I have
programmed the eprom with the sm4000 programer (sm4450-ex) with a ctcss
channel.The squelch is operating ok but with the ctcss it isn't muting the
audio.When a non-ctcss signal is applied the audio still comes through .When
a ctcss signal  is applied the  call light comes on but the audio doesn't
mute when its removed .Link 1 and 2 have been linked as per manual. can
anyone suggest any more I need to check .

What still have is the original Comet tri-band antenna (6m,

Comet antenna is not what I deem usable at that frequency .

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Sinclair - big price jump?

[gervais]

Comprod are former employes of Sinclair,they start thir own company many years 
ago.
i have been using their antenna,2 dipole,for almost 10 years now,in a salt 
environnement near the st-laurence river and it never fail.
the quality is there and price too,at least in CND prices.
i also have an SRL210A4 Sinclair  on top of a tower at 250 feet for 30 years 
,,it never fail too but she is beginning to show some fatigue now ,,

i would never use fiberglass antenna for repeater,static,grounding,,quality,i 
would prefer find used dipole ,rebuilt it and put it back online then using 
these but this is my personnal choice from my experiences.it is like putting a 
capacitor at 125 feets high and transmit 
73/s all

  I came across this company that lists dipole arrays for 220 MHz on page 
38 of their online catalog. I have no idea what the prices are, but thought I 
would pass it along since I haven't seen it mentioned before on this list.

I haven't bought any of their antennas for ham projects yet. I've 
purchased
one of their VHF dipole arrays for a commercial job, but I wasn't 
on-site
when it was delivered, unpacked, or installed, so I didn't get to 
examine
it. Most of what I've heard has been positive. They share a lot of
similarity with Sinclair's products; I heard (maybe even here) that 
some of
their engineers, or maybe company founders, were ex-Sinclair employees.
They seem to be much more popular in Canada then down here in the 
states.

I have some of Comprod's filtering products and have been happy with 
those.

I've been very happy with Sinclair's dipole arrays, which is what I was
leaning toward buying, but the price is getting a little out of hand. 
The
Decibel dipole arrays were a good value, too bad they quit making them 
for
the UHF ham split. These antennas will all be top-mounted, and I refuse 
to
use fiberglass omnis for such installations, so my choices for dipole 
arrays
are fairly limited. If Telewave made dipole arrays that included the 
mast
and internal harness I'd consider them too, but they don't. TX-RX's 
dipole
arrays (made by RFI) are another option, but I haven't yet found anybody
using them, and I'm not sure I want to be the $2000 guinea pig.
