[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Antenna Question
I am not sure if we ever visited this question before, If we have sorry... Here is the story, I have a Comet Dual Band Antenna GP9 VHF/UHF, works for me and I like the quality and price. I have a UHF Repeater and soon to have a VHF Repeater at the same location. I have no more space or money to run the cable for another antenna, to the top. How could I run both repeaters off the same antenna, I have a wacom duplexer 4 can base type (not the cheap mobile kind) for one and the other is a Telewave VHF 4 can (same type but VHF). Is it possible? Could I use one of those splitters (450/150 mini duplexers) attached to both duplexers? Or would I need something else? This is probably simple I just am not sure? Thanks in advance? JA

[Repeater-Builder] Help needed if possible, making spectra's into a repeater
I have a few of the trunk mount and dash mount spectra's. I have a few 100 watt units and a few of the 45 watt versions. I am curious about how to hook these mobiles to a Zetron Model 37 max controller to make a repeater. I am not even sure it is possible. But any help would be needed. I have a service manual for the spectra's but I am not the engineer. Does anyone have a pin out for the COR and other audio pins that need to be connected to the controller. I have hooked up maxtrac's this way with no trouble. I have just not been able to get it at all with the spectra's Any comments would be good and help is needed Thanks. Joe Yahoo!

Any comments on quality,reliability,servicing,programming these units? Will be used as vhf and uhf amateur repeaters with external controllers. Also looking for comments on other brands for new repeater equipment. Our club is looking to replace our aging Micor,MastrII and Kendecom repeaters with new ones. I have an MTR2000 and use it for GMRS, I am a Police Officer and found that my Dept uses, the MTR2000. It is very reliable and a work horse. Easy to program and easy to attach a Zetron controller with an ordered cable, plugs right in (but it does cost alot 250.00) So total the community repeater pannel cost around 500.00, but it is a terrific unit. I have the 100 watt unit turned down to 25 watts and it is perfect for my needs. I would say if you have the money get the repeater it is worth it in the long run. Joe WPYU470 Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Another question on the ICOM FR-4000 Repeater
Someone from the list gave me some good info on a possible solution to my ICOM Repeater FR-4000 problem. Does anyone from the list, know if the ICOM IC FR-4000 repeater requires tuning of the receiver's front end before being placed in service and software programming? Do the helical resonators in the receiver need to be optimized by tuning ? Thanks angain in advance Joe Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Question
A question to the group hope we can find the answer OK I have a GMRS Repeater located on a large tower over looking the NY/NJ Metro area. Currently I have been using a Motorola Desktrac Repeater (which is basically 2 Maxtrac mobiles with a basic repeater controller, and it is not continuous duty) 10 dB gain Superstation Master antenna on top of the tower, with 1 1/2 hard-line. The repeater has been putting out 25 watts. I cover a great deal of area with this repeater, with little dead spots. I purchased an ICOM FR-4000 repeater last week, hoping to have a more continuous duty repeater, DTMF Controls and some other features. After I removed the Desktrac, and put the ICOM in place I lost total coverage, a portable could not get in from 2 miles away, when I was getting portable coverage from 30-40 miles away. So I placed the Motorola Desktrac back and no problem. So far I have no idea why I have lost the coverage, I know there is a 800 MHz EDACS System putting out 25 watts on the tower and a VHF System. Both have not interfered with the Desktrac. What could this be? what possible cures could fix this problem? Thanks in advance Joe WPYU470 Yahoo!
