RE: [Repeater-Builder] Seeking recommendations for 2 Meter repeater antenna
Yes, I like my folded dipole over many antennas also, but to have the proper amount of electrical down tilt that I required, I would not see getting created on the 224. The sd213 is agood antenna but while I use a tx combiner with average of 300w cont the sd213 is only rated at I think 150w. where my ant450d6 is good for my rooftop installation cause I would not personally place this antenna at 300- or 800' on the tower , do to past exp and design of the ant. These are all good antennas if placed into the right environment and application, also in the right budget Not making this a large thread, it was just a choice I had made in the pick of antennas and having 11 ham repeaters and 4 sites of 16 channels per site of astro 7x system.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Rebuild Project Input
Depending on what coverage you are looking to expect, will help you choose the proper gain antenna. A higher gain antenna is not always a good choice and can cause more problems and poor coverage then you would expect nearby the repeater. What is you HAAT? Are most the user going to be fixed station mobile users or HT? if so How far away from the repeater will you users be? If your users are near by the site and you have a erp you do not need to exceed a lower gain antenna or unity gain might do you a great job. SWR 2:1 have you check this antenna with a true 50ohm analyzer, or into the transmitter without the duplexers? Hello All, I am looking to rebuild a 70cm repeater with an output within the ham band. We currently have a non-tunable fiberglass comercial band antenna wich is giving us a SWR of about 2:1. The first piece of advice we are looking for is recomendations for replacing the antena. There are some conciderations to go with this. Since it is a privately owned repeater it is in a back yard and not mounted very high due to lack of an antenna tower or space to put one up on the property. The antenna will be mounted at about 20 feet from ground level and we are looking to maximize coverage area so we are looking at high gain antennas such as the Diamond F718 which would be a step up as it would lower our SWR. What are your thoughts with this antenna or recomendations on other high gain antennas for the 70cm band? Also, we are looking to replace the repeater itself. Right now we have an old Kenwood business band repeater that has been modified to work in the ham band but it is becoming more unstable as time progresses. We want to keep the equipment as back up and would like to look into a new system. We want something that is computer programable if possible. It also should work with an external controller as we are using a CAT-1000 with an attached weather station and CAT weather radio reciever. Right now we are coordinated at 25 watts output but would like to have a repeater that could run 50 watts continuous. Also, we would like to stay away from D-STAR simply because of personal preferance. Any suggestions or reccomendations for the repeater unit? Thanks for your help! Andrew KB8UPB

The issue is whether it SHOULD be done. The notion of a public safety agency operating an alerting system that is based at someone's home, using privately-contracted phone lines, is really frightening! What if the dispatcher is indisposed when an emergency call comes in? What if the teenager in the house is tying up the Internet connection with XBOX? Will any insurance company indemnify the at-home dispatcher if a call is unanswered and someone dies? Fire departments deserve and require professional dispatch personnel at a duty position. I disagree with your conclusion that the Internet is more reliable than a Verizon phone line. I know of no peer-reviewed study that supports such a statement. Moreover, since a copper telephone connection is about as reliable as communication can be, I think the reverse is true. In fact, my Verizon phone line has never failed- in the 35-some years I have had it, but my Internet connection has failed many, many times. I do not mean to imply that Verizon is any more or less reliable than any other wireline provider- only that a copper CO connection from any provider is probably more reliable than any Internet connection. 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 Jed Barton Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 1:04 PM To: repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com mailto:repeater-builder%40yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] dispatch centers run through the internet Hey guys, I am working on a project and am wondering if anyone has done this.

Okay, If you can't find a replacment receiver system board, let me know, I'll help you with a work around. At least you have the 10 V regulator in the shelf. What you will need are molex connectors and pins. They can be had from Newark Electronics.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] voting receivers with simulcast transmitters
well to do that correct I believe you will need a master oscillator per site and GPS compensation for path distance changes. that is for the transmitters. - Original Message - From: Daron Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 7:46 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] voting receivers with simulcast transmitters I guess I wasn't clear enough. I'm familiar with the simulcast paging, this is not paging. This is public safety police analog repeaters. The proposal is to put three in a row down the town, about 3-4 miles apart, voting receivers at the two south ones linked back to the 'main' site via UHF control links and a voting controller there. So, they would vote the best receiver and simulcast the output of all three repeaters. Not paging, I know how paging works, I have a VHF pager on a simulcast system. What I'm looking for is somone who has seen an installation like this or has experience with it. Personally, I think it will multipath like crazy and the recovered audio will be crappy. But, if it is a good thing as suggested in the recommendation, there must be operating systems out there to listen to.

There is basically two manufactures of this equipment, Motorola and Quintron/Glenayre. If you want it to be a fairly good sounding system stay away from Motorola equipment. I worked in paging back when there was still a lot of analog pagers on the air, half our systems were Motorola, the other half Quintron. We finally gave up on the Motorola systems running analog, you could set them one day and they may work OK but the next day they would not. There is a problem how the built their FSK modulators, they were not matched like Quintron's. The Quintron modulators were matched to .2 of a dB between them, Motorola did no matching. The trick that will help the most with either system is; try and keep the overlaps where people will not be using the system. There is other problems with Motorola's simulcast system but that is what kept them from having a good (as possible) running simulcast system. There is still a company in Quincy Il. that sells the Quintron (now Glenayre) line, their company name is ISC Technologies. They have the manufacturing rights for most of the Quintron/Glenayre line or they may have some used equipment available.

The recommendation includes three simulcast repeaters with voting receivers. We live on the coast, the terrain is covered with tall trees that make wonderful reflectors and contribute tons of multipath when wet, and it rains plenty. I can't think of any place with terrain issues where I have seen a simulcast VHF repeater system built out. If you have any references (for or against) a simulcast system like this, please drop me a note. I suspect a fair amount of multipath problems and not real great audio for the mobile units based on their location, but I wouldn't be able to prove it until the thing got installed. Ideas?

It is common practice to use 6 to 10 db of attenuation between a new high gain (typically as much as +18 db) GaAsFET low noise amplifier and an older receiver. The gain of the preamp is about 10 db higher than you need for the receiver yet you can gain benefits from the low noise front end and high intermod resistance. Placing the attenuator between the preamp and the receiver doesn't hurt the noise figure yet keeps the receiver front end input signal within acceptable limits. It doesn't reduce the usable sensitivity of the receiver either. The attenuator doesn't make up for deficiencies in a duplexer but it certainly can slam the door on other problems many of us have faced with excessive gain ahead of our older less sensitive receiver. The result is a much lower noise front end with moderately higher gain. Bottom line: better signal to noise ratio. --- Brent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of my 2m repeater has a problem.snip 73, Tony W4ZT Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] M57719N RF power module
With all comments in mind I have gone and tested the m57719n at a low power setting and it seem like it has to work harder at lower power setting. (as stated below) So I have decided to go with another power module. Brent - Original Message - From: Eric Lemmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] M57719N RF power module Brent, Typical RF power amplifier modules are most efficient and produce the least spurious output when operated at the rated output level. The M57719N is rated at 14 watts on a 12.5 VDC supply, over the 142-163 MHz range. When you start reducing the drive or lowering the supply voltage, you will very likely cause the module to become unstable and its efficiency will plummet. A case in point: My radio club has a packet node that uses a name-brand mobile transceiver on the 2m side of the system. In compliance with the Part 97 dictum to use the minimum power necessary for communications, we set the power level on the 2m radio to low, thinking that it would dissipate much less power at the lowest level, thereby allowing its duty cycle to be high. After operating flawlessly for several months, the PA module burned up. A replacement module cost about 80% of the cost of a new radio, but we felt it was worth repairing the radio. I installed the new module carefully and ensured that all drive parameters were correct. I also ran some tests to determine the efficiency of the module at each of its four drive levels. Surprise! It was most efficient at the highest (50 watts) power setting, and the module ran hotter at lower power levels- verified with an infrared thermal scanner. I confirmed the amount of heat being generated within the PA module versus the power being transferred to the antenna, by noting the current draw. This was not what I expected; I really thought that the input current would be more or less proportional to the output power setting, but that was not the case. The radio current draw at the 5 watt setting was about half of the current draw at the 50 watt setting. That means that the input power that didn't go the antenna was being wasted in the PA module, and it couldn't handle the heat. This looks like a fertile ground for experimentation. Moreover, it may not be prudent to use a 14 watt module when all you need is, say, 5 watts. If the 14 watt module does not lend itself to efficient power control, then it may be a good idea to install a 5 watt module. You might also contact Mitsubishi engineering for guidance on controlling the power of their products. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Brent wrote: Anybody have any suggestions on varing the power on the M57719N Power Module?

Needless to say, the WP-643 is vastly superior to the WP-639 at 2m spacing.

Kevin Thanks I just look back at the meter and I stated 20Watts it was NOTit was 5 watts. with over 5 watts it causes the desense Problem.. I would think that since this is a PLL exciter and im am only needing 15-25 watts out that it should do ok .. what would your thoughts be about adding 2 10 pass cav. to the receiver side.. and or should i go with out the preamp. - Original Message - From: Kevin Custer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 8:25 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Desense im guessing?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Desense, I'm guessing?
With yours and Kevins reply, I have decided to go with a set of WP-643's and not use the WP-639's, I belive this would get me going. and if I need the pre amp then i will add it along with the pass cavities. One more Quick Question, since i have the set of 639's here. what would the affect of two cans from the 639s be if added to the 643's receiver side beside the loss. Brent - Original Message - From: Eric Lemmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 9:01 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Desense, I'm guessing? Brent, Although there are those who will disagree with me on this, I think your WP-639 duplexer is simply not capable of sufficiently isolating your receive and transmit frequencies. While the WP-639 may get by on a low-powered system without a preamp, you may be demanding too much in your installation. Since the operating range of a repeater is limited more by its receive capability than by its power output, it makes sense to maximize the receive capability and run the minimum output power needed. First of all, the phrase factory tuned needs to be qualified. I will readily acknowledge that the majority of big-name duplexer manufacturers have the equipment (network analyzer) and expertise (highly-trained technicians) to properly tune a duplexer exactly to your stated operating frequencies. Very often, a factory-tuned duplexer is accompanied by a rather pompous statement of the form, This duplexer has been carefully tuned on laboratory-grade equipment, and NO FURTHER TUNING IS REQUIRED. Yeah, right! Unless I drove to the plant and picked up that duplexer myself, I can guarantee that it will be jostled, dropped, and bounced around during shipment to the point that it MAY be detuned enough to adversely affect its operation. I always check duplexers, isolators, and cavity filters on my own laboratory-grade equipment before installation, and I find perhaps 30% of them needing realignment. Please understand that the detuning most likely occurred during shipment, and is not the fault of the manufacturer. Whenever you put a preamp in front of a receiver, you really should put a very narrow bandpass cavity filter in front of it. It always comes as a surprise to neophyte repeater owners that a bandpass/bandreject or BpBr duplexer has almost no bandpass action at all. The notch or reject action is the major player, and the bandpass effect is minimal if nonexistent. Moreover, nearby carriers can sail right through the duplexer and cause major desense to your receiver. When you add a preamp, you are not just opening the barn door wider, you are amplifying all of the intruders! My personal preference is for two 8 bandpass cavities set for a total of 1.0 dB insertion loss after the receive side of the duplexer, and before the RF preamplifier. Don't be tempted to use one 10 or one 8 cavity set for 1.0 dB instead of two set for 0.5 dB each; the out-of-band rejection by two cavities is much greater than one cavity by itself. This is something I learned by experience- you can believe me now, or go off and find out for yourself. Trust me, you WILL settle on a minimum of two cavities. In the present climate of terrorist activity and natural disasters, it does not make any sense to deploy a repeater system that barely gets by or is good enough for the majority of users. It makes me very proud to be a member of an Amateur Radio group that designs and installs repeater systems that are as good as, and in many cases are better and more reliable than, commercial systems operated by public safety organizations. I sincerely wish that all repeater operators felt the same way! 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Brent wrote: One of my 2m repeaters has a problem. It is a GE Mastr II base/repeater.

For those who may not have the Wacom catalog handy, the WP-643 duplexer comprises six 8 cavities that are rated at 102 dB isolation at 600 kHz spacing, with 2.2 dB insertion loss. Four of the cavities are BpBr, and two are bandpass only. The WP-639 duplexer comprises four 5 BpBr cavities that are rated at 80 dB isolation at 600 kHz spacing, with 1.5 dB insertion loss. Needless to say, the WP-643 is vastly superior to the WP-639 at 2m spacing. You could use two of the WP-639 cavities for bandpass application, if you replaced the single BpBr coupling loop with two Bp loops on each cavity. Try the WP-643 in stock form first. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Brent wrote: With yours and Kevin's reply, I have decided to go with a set of WP-643s and not use the WP-639s.

Adjust L113 and L114 for maximum voltage reading 3 Connect the dc voltmeter to TP-2 and adjust L115 and L116 for maximum voltage reading 4 Set communications monitor (sig gen function) to the proper input frequency (unpopulated) and set the output to ZERO. 5 connect an AC voltmeter between Pins 5 and 8 of the control receptacle with an 8ohm, 2 watt dummy load connect in parallel 6 adjust L107, L108, L104, and L105 in that order, for maximum speaker output noise level as indicated on the ac voltmeter. 7 connect a 25-0-25 microammeter between tpin6 of J10 and ground, Pin 5 8 adjust L105 for Zero center reading on the microammeter. Verify that the speaker output voltmeter reading does not change. 9 Apply a modulated RF input signal approx. 12 dB SINAD 10 Adjust L105 and L104 for maximum SINAD Sensitivity. 11 Reduce the RF input to ZERO 12 Adjust L108 for ZERO reading on the microammeter. 13 set the cavity core to mid-position 14 adjust the unmodulated RF input signal for 10dB QS 15 Adjust L101, L102, L103 and the three adjustments on the receiver cavity in that order, for minimum noise level output. The RF signal may need to be reduced to keep the receiver at the 10dB quieting sensitivity level. Following the completion of the receiver alignment, re-check the 20dB quieting and squelch sensitivities, and replace the cover(s).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] in-band linking update
Chris.. I have done what you are talking about several times. And what they are talking about with the cavity is that u tune the notch side the the can to notch out the repeaters TX freq and tune the pass for what the link radio will be operating at to the middle of the frew that are used for tx and rx on the link radio if different if the same simplex operations is used tune the pas for that freq so the tx and rx will pass thru. and the reject is knocking the repeaters tx freq out and you can do the same for the repeater on the rx side with one more can also... tuned to pass the repeaters rx side and reject the links tx side... but if you have no problems with the link causing harm to the repeaters rx'er than dont worry about it but i would check it out anyways with a week single present and the links tx ON and while still listening to the local rx turn the link TX of ans listen for a difference...listen for desense...

I guess my gutt told me the proper tune-up procedure was the way to go. We just didn't have the time to do it at the time. I have one question about what you said. You say I should have pass-reject duplexers on both systems. How can I put a pass-reject duplexer on a radio that has only one antenna port? I can see why the filtering would be helpful, but the remote base is operating in half-duplex so it really doesn't seem necessary. There is a good duplexer on the repeater itself, and the link doesn't appear to desense the repeater. Frankly, I don't care if the remote base is desensed a little, as long as I can receive the repeater at the other end, which I can. I do notice a quiet squeel in the background of the received signal on the remote, which I assume is the repeater's transmitter. I think putting a notch can on the remote base, to notch out the repeater's transmitter, might do the trick. The squeel, while annoying, isn't a big deal right now. The repeater itself id deaf as a post, and we know that is attributable to the Micor receiver itself.

I would take care to follow the tuning procedure as outlined in the manual to the letter. Also, I am not sure what isolation measures you have already taken but they would have to be fairly extensive for pairs that close in frequency to coexist happily at the same site, in order to work properly. I would suggest all 100% sheided cables - preferably Heliax, Pass/reject type duplexers on both systems, and at least 1 extra high quality pass cavity on both transmitters. This is just for starters. Each site is configured differently so there may be several other measures to take. Good earth grounds to all components of the system and extra sheilding for mobile radios used in a full duplex environment are 2 other necessary things to do. It sounds like you have quite the system, and you are probably aware of the suggestions I am making here but sometimes the obvious things are the easiest to forget. Sounds like your getting there.

I thought I'd post an update on how it seems to be working. The repeater is on 442.750+ running about 25 watts. It's a converted Micor mobile. The remote base listens on 443.025 and transmits about 25 watts on 448.025. The repeater it's talking to is about 90 miles away over a very good path. The remote base is an Icom 900 module attached to an FC-900. The repeater shows no obvious desense, and the signal strength of the link is full-quieting. There is one odity, though. The link seems to have some sort of high-pitched, low--amplitude, squeel on it. I assume this is some spur from the repeater's transmitter. We plan to try to notch that out when we get a chance. There is one odity, though. The Micor has been in service for about 2 years now. When we first set it up, the receiver sensativity was about .35 UV. Now, we can't get it to come below about .7UV. I should point out that we didn't do the full tuning procedure, we just tried to tweak things

I know that none of these have much to offer and I am now in the market for a proper commercial repeater antenna but just the same, what is my problem?-only the J pole works acceptably. VSWR on all antennas using the repeater signal reads unity or very close to it between duplexer and antenna feed line, distant transmitt signal strength measurement sees the Hustler a bit stronger and they all receive a distant weak signal (repeater transmitter off) about the same (maybe the Hustler is a bit better).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater cuts out during XMIT
Mark, I have ran into that problem my self and well the first thing is that.. when the radio is programmed you want to make sure that the TOT was set to max or OFF and allow the controller to take control of that function..of the TOT and second if those radios prob. a maxtrac, were used as a repeater and or even at 4-10watts they will still over a long peroid of TX'ing generate enough heat to send a signal to have the PA back it power down. and if that is the case and they are using a ext. amp it might not excite the Ext amp and in turn have no Rf output..but you might hear it close to the site...

I am guesing RF Amo problem either at Exciter or RF Amp. Am I right in presuming the problem ? MH Yahoo!

Hi Russ, Be Careful driving in New York with a scanner. Sec 397 of the V+T Law makes it a misdemeanor to have a radio in your car capable of receiving police transmissions unless you are law enforcement or have a permit. There is a vague clause in the section that was probably intended to exclude hams but it is poorly worded. I would hate to see your trip ruined by an over zealous officer. 73 Ted n2isq -Original Message-From: russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 8:23 AMTo: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.comSubject: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic a bit.

Anyone on a repeater is not listening to the ham's signal - you're listening to the repeater's signal. That may be technically true, but I wouldn't want to bet on the effectiveness of the argument to an officer who didn't like the idea of you listening to police traffic. Roger Grady K9OPO Yahoo!
