Re: [Repeater-Builder] Celwave/Sinclair, etc. antenna conversion to 2-Meters?
Larry A much simpler way is to add a matching stub to the coax connector at the pigtail which feeds the antenna, without having to butcher the folded dipoles with dissimilar metals to get them to provide a suitable impedance which may or may not result in a desirable match at the feedpoint connector over the 2M band. I have a DB Products DB224 on which I was able to improve the VSWR in the 2M band by only adding a UHF Tee adapter and O.C. stub at the antenna connector after measuring the antenna impedance at the connector. If you have a DB224 then tell me the length of the coax from the tip (and type "N" or "UHF") of the connector up to the edge of the first molded junction and the VSWR on various frequencies in the 2M band, I will see about your constructing a matching line and a shunt stub which can be added with a Tee adapter at the antenna connector. I need this information as the pigtail length may be different on your antenna than on mine.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] HP 8924C
The 60 watt option is a "nice to have" but not at all necessary. Mine is the
standard 3 watt version, so I use a 150 watt 40 DB attenuator (eBay). The nice
thing about the 8924C is that you can can compensate for the external
attenuator in both transmit and receive modes, so that the measurements read
correctly, without operator intervention.
I'm not sure what other options there are besides the 1.9 GHz adapter, which
you obviously won't be needing. They default to CDMA digital modes, but it's
easy enough to get it to power up in analog modes.

Not all FCC bureaus, and not all licenses for a given bureau, have an ASR entry. Also note that ASR only came about in 1997 (?), so any license issued before that date that hasn't been updated to include ASR# won't have an ASR# associated with the license. Many broadcast licenses fall into this category as an example. --- Jeff WN3A

RE: [Repeater-Builder] FCC Ant Registration
Not directly, but you can use the ASR to get the lat/lon, then do a database search (wireless.fcc.gov, click on Databases) using those coordinates. A lot of times the license coordinates don't match the ASR coordinates exactly (due to a number of reasons), so do a "radius search", specifying some small distance (say, 0.5 km if it's an isolated tower, or 0.1 km if there are other towers nearby) to try to catch all of the licenses for the site you're interested in. --- Jeff WN3A > -Original Message- > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Randy > Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 9:23 AM > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] FCC Ant Registration > > > > Is there a way from an ASR no. to look up all of the > registered liscenses for that site? > > Randy > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 8.5.432 / Virus Database: 270.14.139/2620 - Release > Date: 01/15/10 07:35:00 > > >
