[Repeater-Builder] Re: Wouxun Radio
The Wouxun KG-UVD1P is a 2m/70cm or 2m/1.25m dual band hand held radio. It has FCC ID WVTWOUXUN04 for Part 90 use. Look here https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm put WVT in Grantee Code and WOUXUN04 in the Product Code. Spec sheet info: http://www.wouxun.com/Two-Way-Radio/KG-UVD1P.htm I bought the 2m/1.25cm version from http://wouxun.us/ at Dayton this year to give me a 222 mHz handheld, it has been working great, including surviving a 3 foot drop to concrete :) --- it operates 5W on 2m and 4W on 1.25m. (I prefer dealing with a US distributor vs. an Ebay Hong Kong dealer.) Advise getting a programming cable for setup. The software is available online from several locations, including the Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Wouxun_KG-UVD1/files/Software/ including software to set frequency ranges. (Within limits, you cannot move a 2m/70cm radio to 2m/1.25m for example) -- the programming software raises a false positive on some virus scanners. They are not on the Part 95 list (no GMRS, MURS, etc. though they will program there) same with Part 80 (I have some frequencies programmed to listen to some channels under both of these parts, but disabled transmit). They do not do AM, they can receive commercial FM broadcast. There is a long history of using Part 90 radios on Part 97 frequencies (Amateur Radio). Hope this helps clear things up and ends the speculation. The licensee is responsible for which radios are in use at their station or within their system (not the radio technician), so your mileage may vary. Personally, if I was working with a volunteer group and had a Part 90 licensed system, I would offer this as a low cost radio for volunteers. -- John D.

One meter would display the DC and the other the AC value. Kind of handy sometimes.

That was a very slick box and sold well. It was a line level meter with tone generator and audio amp/speaker and mike. It had the commonly used tone remote tones built in so you could check the line level at those frequencies. Usually people bought two of them, one to use on each end of a line being tested. You could talk back and forth to the guy on the other end and send each other tones and measure levels each way. 73 Gary K4FMX There were very few combination analog/DVM's at service instrument prices and the DMM's that had bar graphs didn't have the resoloution for trends at the time.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeaters vs RC
Don't forget the FCC rules...in this case, I am only to assume (knowing MCH's identity) that this is taking place in Western Pennsylvania. That being said, my question is, if the repeater is coordinated by a governing body (WPRC) why would he/she complain about RC operations? The FCC rules, as far as I see them and have read, grant governing authority to the regional coordinating body to authorize said band plans per region. The operator of the RC equipment needs to yield way to the authorizing entity. Logical thinking, regardless of rules, would dictate that amateurs be good stewards of the frequencies they occupy and utilize appropriate 'channels' that do not interfere with other equipment. I would concur with 'DCFluX' in terms of getting crystals reground for a mere $50 (let's say) versus a repeater operator re-pairing, recalibrating, and retuning the entire repeater station. All the best, John, NF3Q MCH wrote: Does anyone have any experience with repeater operation vs RC operation (Remote Control)? I have an RC operator who is 'raising a stink' about a repeater that is 30 kHz away from one of his RC channels. BTW, he also wants to 'compromise' by offering to relocate the repeater off the 52-54 MHz segment so they will not impact his RC operations. Some compromise, huh? I think he has the impression that RC channels are 100 kHz wide (they are standard AM) because the 6M RC channels are spaced at 100 kHz (53.100, 53.200, 53.3500, 53.400, Etc). I've told him they cannot be more than 10 kHz wide, if that, and that the FC repeater would be only 16 kHz wide, and at 30 kHz away the two can coexist without interference. Oh, the repeater in question is at least 20 miles away from his flying site. Any input out there? Exactly how wide is his AM signal? Thanks, Joe M.
Re: [Repeater-Builder] De-sense question
Hi John, I'm providing a disclaimer now...: I'm somewhat unorthodox, unconventional, and have a terribly dry sense of humor. I've been known to dispense what others feel is bad advice. With that in mind, feel free to try any of my suggestions with great caution. I'm leaving myself open for a lot of heckling, but I'll try to keep my sarcasm down to a minimum. I don't find the repeater business to be a great science like some do-- a lot of it is common sense and elbow grease. You can learn a lot by monkeying around and throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. So, moving right along, and in the words of Bill Clinton, I feel your pain. A couple of months ago, I started a new repeater project and had all sorts of de-sense and noise problems. To me, it sounds most of your problems are within your antenna system. Here are some suggestions (and my stories) on how to get rid of noise problems...: First, I like to put some space between any rigid feedline and my duplexers. The physical strain of the hardline might be wreaking havoc on your duplexer's wiring harness. I usually add anywhere between three and six feet of LMR-400 (which many claim to be evil) between my duplexers and my feedline entry point. RG-214/U might be a better selection, due to its double shielding. However, its losses are a bit higher per foot than LMR-400. I've been told (and have read) that when LMR-400 moves around, it makes noise. While I believe that's technically true, it probably is about any type of coax. I don't know about you (or anyone else), but I don't go to the repeater site on a daily basis and shake my feedline jumpers around, just to see if I can see if they're going to make noise. (HA! I got you now, you sneaky noise demon!) I don't believe the repeater moves around-- unless it gets up and goes out on the town at night while I'm sleeping. (Maybe it just gets high on RF and drunk dials instead?) So, don't be afraid to give it a try. In fact, I use LMR-400 between the repeaters themselves and the duplexers. Even worse, I have a $47 diplexer (not duplexer) separating 2m VHF and 70cm UHF, feeding into one antenna. SWR is fine and I haven't noticed any loss in sensitivity. Both repeaters are tied together, which means when it is in use, one receiver and two transmitters are sharing the antenna and moving three virtual RF paths simultaneously-- unless, of course, two people double on each band, or if the repeater is ID-ing between talk times, et al. Second, if you're not using silver plated connectors, seriously think about using them. Don't even consider the run-of-the-mill teflon ones, they're nearly useless in your repeater application. Anyhow, I bought two sets of duplexers, one being Telewave TPRD-1556 VHF duplexers (6 cavity), the other being Telewave TPRD-4544 UHF duplexers (4 cavity). Both sets were used, very clean and well kept, except the silver plated connectors and coupling loops. I pulled each and every connector off, soaked them in C-L-R overnight, rinsed them off, dried them off with a cloth, then used silver polish and an old Ronson Roto-Shine shoe shine kit to buff 'em and bring the shine out. After that, I rinsed them rather well again and took a toothbrush to them to remove any remaining polish paste. I put them on a baking sheet and into the oven for about an hour at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. They dried nicely-- no moisture! I disassembled the entire wiring harness and used RG-214/U for the coaxial ties. Then, I pulled the coupling loops out, took copper polish to the loops, rinsed them off, and put them in the oven for a little bit too. After I was convinced that they were dry, I used clear spray polyurethane on the loops to prevent tarnishing and inserted them back into the duplexers. I took them back to a local, reputable two-way shop to re-tune them. They're doing much better than they ever did before. My temporary, 'el cheapo' antenna has an SO-239 connector. I have an eight inch piece of coax with a PL-259 on one end and N female on the other end coming out of the base of the antenna. I get a little crazy with heat-shrink tubing, but I haven't had any problems there, either. That was good at relieving any strain at the antenna connector. Third, I have to agree with the pre-amp issue. That could very well be the entire root of your problem. But, if you have the time and resources, snag yourself about 20 feet of decent coax, a cheap $50 collinear antenna, and take the repeater home. Stick the antenna out in the back yard. Try your pre-amp on the repeater, then without...note your differences. The goal here is to see if your noise levels are higher at the repeater's designated site or not-- whether your antenna is behaving or not, and whether your feedline is behaving or not. That would give you an idea of whether you have to climb the tower and poke around or not. Might sound obvious as

Re: [Repeater-Builder] A Good 440 Anttena
Chuck is correct. The 413 is 18 ft 4 inches long and is rated 12 dB gain and rated to survive 1/2 inch ice at 90 mph. The 411 is 9 ft 5 inches long , 9 dB gain 112 mph wind with 1/2 inch radial ice. The 408 is 6.6 dB gain and will survive with 1/2 ice at 85 mph. The 420 is 9.2 dB gain 18 ft 1 inch long and rated to withstand 70 mph with 1/2 inch ice. They are all good in my opinion. I have used them all including the DB-404 and they have survived the NE Ohio winters. even with the 420 top mounted on towers but there is a lot of flex at winds above 60 mph. I never had an antenna bend but did have on installation where the 420 was top mounted and the pipe that it was clamped to bent during a storm with gusts in excess of 70 mph. As far as which antenna to use - It depends on the installation, HAAT, top mount, side mount, omni pattern, etc. Rich WA8DBW http://www.wa8dbw.ifip.com - Original Message - From: Chuck Kelsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] A Good 440 Anttena I think my wife stole my Decibel catalog ;-) The 413 is 8 elements and the 411 is 4, right?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Member Deleted?
Kevin and all; I am not often moved to post as I try and remember that which was told to me as a child - Richard, you have two ears and one mouth so it would behoove you to listen twice as much as you talk. Also be mindful of the fact that the ears are always open and can except input at any time. However, the mouth has a flap on it and it is ok to close it occasionally. With that in mind I will try and be as brief as possible. I am surprised at the implementation of a poll to decide ones continued membership. I believe the decision should be made by you as the list owner. I am of the opinion that whomever is determined to be disruptive to the list or, continues to use the list to promote that which is not related to the purpose of the list, should be warned to cease and desist. They should be told what the consequences will be in the event they fail to comply. If that person continues then they should be banned from the list. I liked Doug's posting regarding free speech. It is refreshing to know that in this day of so many being concerned about political correctness that there are some (Doug Bade) that have not lost site of reality and that which is right or wrong when it come to force-feeding ones beliefs and opinions on another. There are many on this list involved in communications as a business. Doug and his dad Cliff W8CJB, own Cleveland Communications and I have never known them to exploit their membership in this or any other list as a means to promote their business interest. While we all may be grateful for a business owner to mention goods or services that they may be able to provide to list members, there is a fine line that should not be crossed except on rare occasions. I believe that line has repeatedly been crossed by some. Those that are guilty should be warned one time. As stated in the first paragraph, if they continue then banishment is in order. Now I go back to the listening/reading mode. 73 to all Rich WA8DBW Richard D.

[Repeater-Builder] 440 4 Pole Antenna
I hope Chuck Kelsey sees this - - - About 15 or twenty years ago there was an article published in either Ham Radio or perhaps 73 magazine on the construction of a 440 4 pole antenna. It was written by Chuck WB2EDV if my memory is correct. I built one for a friend and he has removed it from his tower for maintenance. He is now ready to place it back on the tower legs and asked me what the spacing is between elements. Well I cannot fond the paper work. I think it was 23 inches on center. Chuck, is that correct?

[Repeater-Builder] Micor Repeater is PART 95 Type Accepted
Lets put another one to rest. WRITE IT IN STONE! the Micor, at least those with the Transmitter FCC Identifier of CC4224C are Part 95 type accepted. This is the transmitter on my Micor Community Repeater. Here is my journey to this data. I had sent a letter to the FCC Field office back in Dec. requesting to know if the Micor Community Repeater I have on the air was certificated for use in the GMRS as it states to do in the GMRS rules. I also checked with big M and they no longer maintain or offer data on non current radios. I waited a few months for word from the FCC and after I didn't receive a reply, I contacted R.H. to see if he could help. He did some hunting came up empty and he then referred me to someone and so on and finally I ended up with an EE who assisted me. Well as most of us know the older equipment prior to late 1981 are not contained in the OET database. The FCC does not maintain publicly available records of any equipment before this point so if it doesn't have the current style ID (Grantee Code/Product code) you will be hard pressed to find the authorization data. The EE had a copy of the FCC Radio Equipment List dated January 1, 1983, this is where the proof is. On page 302 in black and white the transmitter CC4224C is authorized for rules part 21, 90 95. If any one has one of these lists keep it! I will scan the info later tonight and post it on my website. There are other Motorola transmitters listed on that page that are Part 95 also that people might be interested in. DougD WPSI726 KC2KGY Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 802.11b wireless
Nate is correct in that the frequencies listed were the center freq of each channel. There are 14 channels. And yes, I forgot the decimal. Oh well I am old as well as tired. The channels overlap each other in that they are 22 MHz wide ( NO decimal) One can do the math and see which channels edge falls outside the Amateur band if you wish but if you do not run an amplifier, who cares. If my memory serves me 802.11 concept began in the late 80's and there were two forms approved by the FCC. One was DSSS (Direct Sequenced Spread Spectrum) that is used today and the other was FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) that consisted of 75 channels spaced 1 MHz apart and traffic jumped between those channels. In 1999 the industry selected 802.11b as the standard with its max 11 Mbps. Of course we now have everyone pushing the 802.11g that have a maximum of 54 Mbps but we seem to forget that many access points use 10 base T Ethernet connections so you are limited to 10 Mbps anyway. Remember as the signal gets noise due to low signal strength the speed is decreased. I use 802.11g but often have only Mbps speed due to low signal strength. Still pretty fast as I have seen T1 that was only slightly higher is speed. With a good antenna it possible to get amazing distance. I have sent video with p1 picture to my brother Jim,KA8HAK over in Akron 16 miles from me. I was using 1 watt into 140 feet of 7/8 hard line to a 3 foot dish at 85 feet. He was using a home brew 44 element linier yagi on a tripod 7 feet in the air fed with LMR400! Until last year I had an FM repeater (2.411200 out / 2.431200 GHz in) on the air. It also ran 1 watt and had a 20 meg split. Worked pretty good but there were only three of us that could transmit. Jim KZ5AW, my brother Jim KA8HAK, and myself. Perhaps one day I will put it back on if equipment become more reasonable and others become interested. Oh well - enough of the rambling and at least I said something about repeaters.. 73 P.S. Nate, I am glad I gave you a laugh at the no decimal. One of my goals is to make someone laugh each day even if they are only laughing at me! It was a good day as is most of them..

That channelization map only shows the CENTER frequency of the direct-sequence spread-spectrum channel you're using. I believe Mr. Reese is incorrect in his statement that channels 7 and 8 are in the ham band. Each channel overlaps the channels around it -- they're wide. (Our old pal Nyquist's pesky theorem might point out that there's not enough bandwidth between from say, 2417 to 2427 to do a 11Mb/s data stream on Channel 3, and that's assuming you would run right up against channels 2 and 4. But, I sure as hell can't do the math without having had any coffee yet today!) The access points just deal with the interference they cause each other. When you're laying them out for use in an office building, you pick patterns that use 1, 6 and 11 to keep all the AP's out of each other's hair. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only channels that don't overlap each other in the U.S., so channel 1 extends up through Channel 3 (and below channel 1 down to just above 2400 MHz), and Channel 6 extends downward to Channel 4 and upward to channel 8. So the highest usable channel if you want to operate as a Part 97 station is Channel 6 if I didn't screw up my math. Or the top portion of your signal will be out of the ham allocation. ;-) I got a kick out of the 24XX GHz label too... that's pretty high! (GRIN) Nate WY0X JOHN MACKEY wrote: It should be noted, also, that the channels are overlapping on each other. The only channel setup that would NOT be overlaping it using channels 1,6, 11.

Just use an encryption key and they will be quite secure from anyone not authorized.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Doug Hall RBI-1 question
Ken; I have a DH that feed remotes on 146, 222, 440, and 1292 and have on occasion had them get confused. This has always been after a hit on the power prior to my installing battery backup. When the reset is don all it will do is default the DH RBI-1 to the first remote. In my case the 2 meter one. When an inquiry is done and the controller responds with, in your case, 146.520 the remote will be placed on 146.520. Also if a reset command is sent to the controller it will also place the remote on the default frequency. I use a Link Communications RLC-3. Richard D.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Astron Power Supply Crobars
Allow me to elaborate. I have an RM-35M. It has been in continuous repeater service for more than 10 years without a hiccup. Recently our hosts did some electrical work in the building. They installed new elevator motors and emergency power. We are now connected to the emergency power through a very large (~60lbs) ferro- resonate transformer. The elevator motors and controllers are not in the same room as the repeater, but the main power passes through our room. The repeater has been in the same location without any problems from the elevators for 30-years. After the change the RM-35M started crowbaring once or twice per day. I replaced the power supply with another RM-35M. It has been running fine for a couple of weeks now. The original power supply, plugged in on my workbench, with no load, will crowbar after running for 3 to 12 hours. So, will someone tell me about this replacement regulator board of Skipp's?

You could use my free path analysis tool, rfProfiler-Light, to predict the path loss in various directions from your transmitter site. http://www.rfsoftware.com/rfpl/downloads.shtml It is not as slick as the expensive programs, but what do you want for free! Joe, N2UF --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Fred Seamans [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are some very high quality computer propagation predicting computer programs available that use USGS data maps. However these are expensive and only the companies that are into coverage predicting in a commercial way can afford them. But they are good. The first paper on VHF and UHF Propagation predicting that I became aware of was written by an engineer at GE Mobile Radio Department in 1962. It was well circulated and included in their Data File as a Bulletin 10003-1 (Abstract: This bulletin is provided for calculating the coverage which a certain VHF and UHF transmitter will provide or for calculating the power which a transmitter must have to cover a certain area. Such factors as path clearance, transmission line losses, antenna gains, and reliability are all taken into account for paths as long as 1000 miles). It is written for the knowledgeable technician and engineer. The charts and curves contained in this work were the basis for most all future computer propagation predicting programs of the 80's. For the radio shops and limited users this was a life saver. Also, a slide rule type prediction calculator (Range and Transmitter Power Calculator) was designed for the mobile radio sales people to use. These were such good tools that most manufactures and sales people in the 60's and 70's highly valued there use, even M's sales people would carry one in their brief cases. I doubt you could find the slide rule calculator now unless someone hoarded a bunch of them. The Datafile Bulletin 10003-1 dated July 1962 could be copied from some of the old timers in the industry. It could be of great benefit to answer some of the recent questions that have been on the Repeater-Builder mail. Sorry I do not have any extras.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Propogation Prediction
You specify a location using longitude/latitude. Then you define a path either with another point (long/lat) or with a range and bearing from the starting point. The program creates a terrain profile between the two points and then, using the Longley-Rice iterative terrain model, calculates the path-loss between the two points. The freeware program uses 10-meter resolution 30-arc-second terrain data. Joe, N2UF --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Mr. Edgar McKinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How does it work?

They are all using the same antenna that feeds a multi-coupler that feeds each receiver. The multi-coupler makes up for the loss that would otherwise be there due to adding all of the extra receivers. All use links to the respective TX sites. Linking is either in the 220 or 440 bands. There are no 2 meter transmitters at the site other than a frequency agile remote base (2 watts). The site has Amateur repeaters on 927.5375, 444.200, 224.320, 1292.200 Mhz (each duplexed) and a comercial 5 channel trunked system. There are also remote base transceivers on 440, 220, and 1.2 Ghz.

The other club has asked to share our 2m receive antenna and feedline, and has volunteered to install whatever equipment we specify so that our site's performance is not degraded. While this sounds doable to me, I am more of a digital guy than an RF guy. What should we install in order to do this the right way without degrading our site's performance?
