Re: [Repeater-Builder] 440 MHZ Duplexer Recommendation/Repeater at TV Station

[Redd Legg]

I've not gotten it yet but the systems I ordered use a Cellwave duplexer.  I'm 
not up on how they handle RF as my installation will be one stand alone and one 
moble.

Station





Greetings all,

A friend of mine has been approached about accepting some tower/shack space at 
a local Public Broadcasting station. Between us, we've been working up our 
wants/needs for a 440 MHz system and I'm looking for suggestions for duplexers. 

The TV Station is on DT Channel 7 (175.25 video 179.75 sound) transmitting 31KW 
ERP. I've been fortunate so far in that both of my other sites are RF-free 
(we're the only tenant) so I've not had to deal with large amounts of RF 
floating about. What do I need to look out for?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 440 Repeater Project

I have a resolution to this issue.  I am applying for a club callsign to use on 
the repeater.  There are several of us that will use it and we just have to go 
thru the gyrations of setting up a formal club structure.

Actually, the callsign will be used on one fixed and one portable linked 
repeater. I'll use an identifier on the mobile unit when it's in use.

Thanks for the assistance.

"§97.119 Station identification. 

(c) One or more indicators may be included with the call sign. Each indicator 
must be separated from the call sign by the slant mark (/) or by any suitable 
word that denotes the slant mark. If an indicator is self-assigned, it must be 
included before, after, or both before and after, the call sign. No 
self-assigned indicator may conflict with any other indicator specified by the 
FCC Rules or with any prefix assigned to another country."

/R is a self-assigned indicator and 'R' is assigned by ITU to Russia.

P.S.  There are a LOT of repeaters out there still signing /R.

This is interesting, can you show us where in the rules this is?
