[Repeater-Builder] Old Equipment !
Hi Folks: I am a minister in a small town in southeast Missouri. Iused to mess with Ham radio years ago, was also a licensed broadcaster then. Anyway I would like to get back into it, not only for myself, but also to share with some kids that I work with. Most of them come from broken homes, and just need a little attention. Does anyone in this group have any old equipment that they are not useing, that I may obtain cheaply due to my tight bubget,(oath of poverty),lol. Thank You and God Bless.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Interference
Hi Ken, Yes it is 1420 AM. How do I remove it? As soon as I put my mobile notch duplexer back in, the AM station was gone.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Interference
Thanks Mike, The station is 1420 AM. Nothing else was changed besides the duplexer. The AM station audio is audible during the entire time the repeater transmitter is transmitting, even during the hang time. It is a much lower level compared to the repeated audio and it is perfectly clear. I could hear everything Rush Limbaugh was saying. Thanks for your help.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Interference
I appreciate everyone who responded to my request for help. I will reinstall the new duplexer tomorrow and check the grounds and see what's up. Will let you know.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater Controllers
If you are looking for an awesome miltiport (3 port) RC with all the features, and expect top-of-the-line support, I recommend the Arcom RC-210. You can do all of your programming via serial port and a nice PC interface with one config file. Support for the RC-210 is the best. When I was researching different controllers, I requested information from others (CAT, NHRC and others) and never received a reply; however, Arcom was there with all of my answers. Since purchasing the RC-210 from Arcom over a year ago, I have nothing else to say but thanks to Arcom for an awesome product and the best support. Jeff W2JRT Yahoo!
