[Repeater-Builder] Radio or Duplex watts

2010-05-26 Thread kf7eec
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!

 Looking for a way to make Puxing PX777 as a Manpack-repeater
 Puxing PX777(+) has VOX, with VOX you may use two rados as repeater by 
 connect mic to spk / spk to mic, placing radios away from eatch other in that 
 way it will not interfer with each other!
 may use duplexer as well here!
 
 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

2010-05-26 Thread James Delancy
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!

 The second Quantar is configured for one T/R antenna. (Ran out of mounts here

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

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.

[Repeater-Builder] HT-1000

2010-05-26 Thread w7trh


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.

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?

  Douglas,

  According to the HT1000 Service Manual, the model number H01SDC9AA3BN breaks
  down as follows:

  H - Handheld Portable
  01 - HT1000 Model
  S - 470-520 MHz
  D - 4.0 - 5.0 Watts RF Power
  C - Standard Controls, No Display
  9 - Channel Spacing is Variable/Programmable
  A - Primary Operation is Conventional/Simplex
  A - Primary System Type is Conventional
  3 - Feature Level is Limited Plus
  B - Version Letter is B
  N - Unique Model Variation is Standard Package

  Needless to say, your radio is not a good candidate for use at 70 cm. 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.

  I have a question, maybe two on the Motorola HT-1000 portable radio. On the
  Repeater-Builder's information webpage that talks about how to decipher the
  model number example: H01SDC9AA3BN

  The forth digit/letter defines the working spectrum example S for the
  range 470-520mhz, R 438-482mhz, etc. I am talking obviously about the UHF
  model HT-1000 Jedi series radio here. 

  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.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] quantar repeater setup

2010-05-26 Thread Glenn (Butch) Kanvick
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.
