[Repeater-Builder] Radio or Duplex watts
If I would to use 2 HT radios that are 4 watts each and a duplexer that is 35 watts to build a portable repeater, would my repeater be 4 watts or 35 watts? Thanks! Michael KF7EEC

Do not HAVE to use filters, if radios are placed one on top of other, in about 50 cm over the receiving radio! But, is there a repeatercontroller for this type of use? BOTH RADIOS HAS TO BE SIMPLEX-Opperated!
Re: [Repeater-Builder] quantar repeater setup
Sounds as if you are missing a duplexer. A duplexer is a passive device that allows your repeater to transmit and receive on one antenna simultaneously without degrading your receive performance while you strong transmitter is on the air (aka - desense). Most Quantar repeaters ship with a duplexer from Motorola that fits within the cabinet (of course I am speaking for the commercial world, not government). Also, if your stations have antenna relays on them (sounds like one does), they need to be removed and deprogrammed from the station (either in the hardware configuration screen or in the RF configuration screen). Also, separated antennas on the VHF band would need typically several hundred feet VERTICAL isolation or probably more than a mile of horizontal isolation to work properly if your transmit and receive frequencies are wide spaced. Lastly, for best field performance of repeaters with duplexers under your conditions, it would likely be best to pick frequencies about 3-5 MHz apart for transmit and receive pairs and make all of your receive frequencies near each other and all of your transmit frequencies near each other (example - Receive 1 136.025 MHz, Transmit 1 141.025 MHz, Receive 2 135.975 MHz, Transmit 2 140.975 MHz). Hope this helps somewhat! Messed with all kinds of RF James WJ1D mark wrote: Hi all; I am currently deployed to Afghanistan. I received four quantar repeater/base stations for use here, plus 140+ XTS5000R handhelds. I am attempting to setup the Quantars as repeaters on the VHHF1 band, in non astro/analog mode. I have one setup with a separate transmit, and receive antenna. These antennas are the Andrews Omni, Exposed Dipole Antenna type. I am configured for scan mode, using four channels. The second Quantar is configured for one T/R antenna. (Ran out of mounts here for antennas). At first the setup worked well. (I have various models of handhelds using the system, this is why i chose non astro cofiguration.) Shortly after activation, certain handhelds were not able to hit the repeaters. Both are setup for 125W output. It seems after these were put into use, our radio coverage is worse, not better. Is there an option I'm missing in the software config. of these repeaters? I am new at the repeater business. My background is more tactical radio configurations. This is my first time with repeaters. Any assistance on this is GREATLY appreciated. Yahoo! Groups Links
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Radio or Duplex watts
Michael You would have a 4 watt repeater because the duplexer does not amplify but just passes the signal thru from the ht transmitter. The 35 watt rating of the duplexer is just the maximum you can use. Good Luck Larry WA0VUS
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Radio or Duplex watts
It would be less than 4 watts. Depending on the HT's and the frequency spacing, it might not work at all. The receiver may not be selective enough.

Larry, That's what I thought. Just checking. Thanks!

[Repeater-Builder] HT-1000
Hello Group, I have been following the postings relating to the HT1000 UHF radio (Range S) being able to be programed to 70cm ham band with great interest. I have a HT1000 [H01SDC9AA3DN] that I would like to put on 70 cm. From what I read, I am getting mixed reports of failure/success. Is there anyone that would be so kind as to attempt to program my radio? (Use it as a Test subject). I live on Vashon Island, in Puget Sound (Between Seattle and Tacoma Wa.), and our EOC has a UHF repeater on 70 cm. Any portable I can get usable on 443.500/448.50 would be an asset to our group! Thought I would ask, while the HT1000 topic was being discussed. I am really impressed with all the knowledge and knowhow this group has to offer.I want to thank you! Best Regards, Tim Hardy W7TRH / AFA0TP Wa.
Re: [Repeater-Builder] HT-1000
Eric, Or Anyone - I have an HT-1000 here, a couple actually, and I was trying to find out what band my H01K would cover. Is it 146-178 MHz? The other one is exactly the one being discussed. Also - have a few MTX Jedi type Handhelds. Do those follow the same breakdown as the HT-1000? i.e. H01WCC4DB3AN NX = 896-941MHz, 1.0 - 3.9 W, 12.5 kHz Spacing, Dual Mode Trunked, etc etc etc?

While it is possible to hack the RSS so that you can get the radio to accept 70 cm frequencies, it is quite another thing for the radio to function in the Amateur band with acceptable power and sensitivity, and without burning up the final. Moreover, there is nothing to tune inside the radio; there are significant differences within the radios for each band. Perhaps your best course of action is to sell your radio to someone who needs the S split, and buy an R split radio. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com [mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of Douglas Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 8:49 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] HT-1000 I have a question, maybe two on the Motorola HT-1000 portable radio.

My question is,are there model R out there and secondly, how easy or difficult to retune the S model if the range is outside the Amateur Radio arena? Many thanks guys. Yahoo! Groups Links

Re: [Repeater-Builder] quantar repeater setup
Hello Mark. Just because you have 125 watts power out, do you have a duplexer to run these as repeaters? How tall are your antennas above the average terrain? If this is your first repeater set up, you need to get some help from someone on site to get it to work right.
