[Repeater-Builder] Remote control via text message
Hi This months edition of Everyday Practical Electronics magazine features part one of a project to build a device to enable remote control and remote status indication all via an old Nokia mobile phone suing GSM based SMS service ( text message ) See the magazine web site here: http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/index.html This could sure be useful on remote repeater sites especially ones using battery power or wind/solar power. The design includes battery management functions so as not to overcharge the battery and in the event of a power outage and the phone switching off due to low battery, upon restoration of power, the design switches the phone back on again. Part two will be in the shops next week but copies should be available via the web site's online shop. Matt G4RKY. Note, I have no connection with any of the parties involved in this project in any way. ___ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 6M duplexer wanted in UK
Hi Steve, The 'FH duplexer was built by a very good friend, who doesn't want to build another one!!! But yes, it was built from LDF7-50 1 -5/8 Heliax.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 6mtr duplexer
Hi Steve, The GB3FH repeater in Somerset is using a heliax duplexer and it is truly excellent! If you like I can send you the plots from the analyser that shows the performance of the duplexer, they are only small jpegs - don't think I can send them to the list as I think it strips attachments.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Tait Repeaters
Hi Terry, From my experience, the Tait units run off 13.8v, so the PSU would be just providing a 13.8v DC for the modules - perhaps either parallel the two windings on the primary of the mains transformer for 110v supply or perhaps source a replacement 13.8v supply that fits in the box? I don't have a manual for the 800 series here though, I worked on some for a buddy a while back and he has the manual - if you're stuck I'll try and get a copy. sorry, Matt - Original Message - From: Terry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 7:25 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Tait Repeaters It's a T800 series with a T856-20 transmitter and a T855 receiver.

Beware, all the antenna adverts I see in the UK mags quote dBi !!! 3dBi gain over a dipole is not worth mentioning!
