Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Sorry everyone
oh i know that it wasnt sent from any of the computers that the YL or myself use nor was it sent through the local networks both here and at my house. i am of the belief that both of us were fished while on the laptop i bought for mom. i thought i installed spybot SD but i guess not. as soon as i can get her off of Farmville for a few minutes i will fix that. thanks again everyone.

[Repeater-Builder] Sorry everyone
so i got on here this morning and found out that I had sent out a mass email to everyone in my address book with a link to some website. Funny thing is that when this email was sent, I was butt deep in the Applegate River with my family (a location that doesn't even get cell coverage). this same thing happened to Liz (my better half) just a couple days ago and now that it has happened to me, i have figures out where my account info leaked from. I am very sorry to all of you. Dave Stephens

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Just a Crazy Thought
yeah it's possable. i built a couple years ago before i became a ham. both were split site and linked using a couple GE 4 watt handhelds sitting somewhere on one of the VHF hiband itinerant channels. the first one was ch 1 in and 38 out and all am cause i used Cobra 29's for the transmit and recieve. it didnt work to well really. the second one was way better. i used Connex 3300's for the trans and recieve. these rigs were FM and would go out of band. i used 26.995 (Between ch 3 and 4) with a 103.5 in, and 27.385 (ch 38) out. that one worked great. the only reason i did these was because about 10 of us were running RCI-2950's and 2990's and they could do an offset. and plus we were board.

Legally a repeater is illegal on CB, but i just want to do an excersize in thought as to what problems someone may run into with such a project, etc. i have seen this questioned asked numorous times through the years and even heard rumors of it actually being done. no one though has actually went deep into the technical aspects of such a project or could point me out to the people who are operating or operated such a setup.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Closed Repeaters
sounds a bit petty to me. you know, the last time i checked, we were all here to provide emergency communications when needed. not to get out there and form clicks. i have had repeaters before and it cost me money, money i didnt really have. if you alone want to put up a repeater, then you pay to do so. if you cant afford it, then dont. why should anyone else pay for your hobby. either way, just remember (and it seems that there are to many people out there that have forgotten) we are here for one reason, and one reason alone... to provide a service to others when all else fail.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Homebrew low power Repeater
i built a low power (in band) repeater using 2 IC-2at's and a NHRC-2 controler. that thing worked great for a 3 watt repeater. now you can do the same using a 2, 3, or 4 a, or at walkie. its rather simple. to be honest, if you have the knowledge to pass the tech ham test, you can build this. start off with the NHRC-2 controller. read how the thing works and then get the 2 walkies. trust me. its easy Rev.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Silver plating copper
are you trying to plate these parts yourself? cause if so, well, you might as well forget it. take it somewhere and have it done. the reason being is that it is done using a cyanide-based solution. it was tough to get before 9-11, now, forget it. now there is Immersion Silvering but that wouldnt work well enough to make a differance (i believe) in performance from the duplexer... just fine yourself a company that will do it for you. you're better off (my opinion) Dave Stephens KF6WJA Grants Pass Or --- On Tue, 4/21/09, jgielis jgie...@westnet.com.au wrote: From: jgielis jgie...@westnet.com.au Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Silver plating copper To: Repeater group Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009, 12:11 AM Has anyone got any data, or access to the electroplating properties concerned with silvering the internals of copper duplexer.
