Re: [Repeater-Builder] MASTR II 10 Meter Repeater Plans

[Richard W. Solomon]

On the subject of PL Encoder/Decoder: I was hoping that they 
existed in a form factor that could plug into the MASTR II. 
Failing that, I'll hardwire something in.

The reason for the different controllers: The NHRC will plug 
into the MASTR II Mobile. The PSE will plug into the Card Cage 
AND is computer programmable (Hint to NHRC !!). I would like 
to use the same manufacturer in each, but the ease of programming 
on the PSE makes it a winner for me.

Antennas are up to the Antenna Committee (HI HI). Nothing decided 
yet.

One other item I need to get is a MASTR II UHF Mobile (-77- split).

Thanks for the replies,

73, Dick, W1KSZ

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Anyone familiar with this NPC 243 ID'er?

[Richard W. Solomon]

Don't pitch them yet. If all else fails, they are programmable 
devices and can be recycled. 
I'll take them if no one else needs them. I can read what's in them 
and see if I can make sense out of it.

30 - 42 ???
I thought there was a 30 - 36 AND a 36 - 42 split.

[Repeater-Builder] MASTR II Low-Band Pre-Amp Question

[Richard W. Solomon]

The Low-Band MASTR II I am putting on 10 does not have 
the Pre-Amp installed on the Receiver.
What are your opinions on adding one ? Is it worthwhile ?

Looking for a spare Low-Band Receiver, 12 or 13 split.
Failing that, I'll take the whole mobile.

Anyone have one they want to part with ?

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Looking to buy Low band maratrac low and high split

[Richard W. Solomon]

I have a Low-Split Maratrac (10 Meters) with a blown front end 
(and I do mean fried ... looks like someone transmitted into it).

Do you have any Low-Splits with a blown Transmitter I can salvage 
the receiver board from ?

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ

RE: [Repeater-Builder] if you have a commercial licenses check it on the fcc site

[Richard W. Solomon]

For kicks, I re-tried it using various combinations of First Name , 
MI and Last Name. It finally hit on LN, FN, MI.
That's not how the licenses read ???
Glad I didn't check the exact match box !!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Anybody have a clue ?

[Richard W. Solomon]

Allow me to show my age ...

To me, the HT-220 is/was a Xtal Controlled Ht !!

The Forward/Reverse switch is the buttons on the 
side. The flat knob on the right is the element 
locking mechanism.

I have three of these and a box full of elements. 
They are quite accurate, equaling a Bird 43. The

  Thanks AllSounds like I'd better go with some 
  sort of hard line for my between unit RF interconnects to keep between 
  cable leakage to tolerable limitsand probably noise too. But this brings 
  up another issue: forgetting about noise for the moment ---how can a 214 type 
  cable which is listed as 97-98% shielded have lower leakage (desense problems) 
  than a foil cable listed as 100% shielded?
   
  The big question---what is the most 
  economical combination of small diameter hard line and an "N" compatible 
  connector assembly?is there something that can be done with say 1/4" 
  superflex and the affordable solder through the holes teflon "N" connector 
  that is similar to the 259 "UHF" connector?what is the best way to 
  go?
   
  And another---I've seen military microwave 
  gear interconnected with hardline less than 1/4" diameter ---smooth 
  tubing---with soldered on "N" connectors-like is used in mobile helical 
  duplexers-is this system suitable and where does it come 
from?

 And then the next question that follows

use to use a CE-3, they are not small or light.  I also don't want

I saw an IFR 1100A go for $500 just before I started looking, that

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater Controllers

[Richard W. Solomon]

The only problem I see is that most (like the NHRC-2) require a 16
button DTMF pad. I have yet to see a 902 HT that has one.
I switched to a Zetron 37, much easier to program.

Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater Controllers



As a controller designer I can recommend the following:

For a single stand alone repeater: NHRC-2 
This controller is an excelent value featuring real voice storage.

For a repeater with a link port: NHRC-4
No voice, CW only. But it will run a remote base or link radio and is
cheap so who cares?

For multiple links/repeaters: Arcom RC-210
Features upgradeable in the field firmware and individual DTMF
decoders for all three ports, plus PL decoder logic inputs.  Also
includes a big ISD voice storage chip for a nice package all the way
around. I don't own one personally, but have interacted with a couple
in the past 6 months to know they are designed extremlly well, with
about the only thing I don't like is some of the status LED's
occasionally have a slight glow when not active, but if this doesn't
bother you...

Featuring an autopatch: NHRC-10
Basicly take a NHRC-2, NHRC-4 and slap on an autopatch and add more
speech storage and other stuff. This will also interface with certain
radios to provide frequency agile remotes.



Controllers to stay away from:

I've tried ICS a time or two and didn't really like it.  I have an ICS
linker and it is a pain to program. kinda buggy too, When you change
the CW ID speed the inter character spacing still stays at about
10WPM, Very humorous. Gonna replace it with a NHRC-4 when I get around
to it.

CAT-300's have good autopatches, but that is about it. Their software
is buggy too.  Known to skip letters in the voice ID's unless they
re-wrote it, and it is still that same old school texas instruments
voice from the speak and spell days.  Also they will not release their
coding wanting approx $100 to send eproms for a upgrade. I have heard
If you have a friend with a "DX" version you can clone its prom and
change out the clock module and swap a jumper to transform a plain 300
to a 300DX. Programming is a pain, if you forget one charector you
have to start over on a ID string "Keypad data error", unless you pony
up the $60 for the programming software.  I have no experience with
their other controllers though, so take a chance!

CES, Need I say more?



Middle of the road:

ACC RC-850's are just plain cool! But generate alot of RFI. Plus the
company is out of buisness so it is a act of congress to find one
living and breathing and if it breaks, it ususally stays broken unless
you wan't to spend the $250 to send it to "The Guy". Programming is
fairly easy with the message editior and most of the commands work
without ABCD touch tones. It is back to the speak and spell days
unless you have a functioning DVR, but on the plus side it can
generate DTMF tones in the courtesy tone generator, you will spend
countless hours driving your local channel cops insane as you play hip
hop DJ and change CT's just cause you can!


Remember: These are my opinions only and you should not base your
buying decision soley on them.

I looked for one of those programs that works on a 486 Laptop,
but couldn't find one that works with what they jokingly refer
to as a sound card at Compaq back then.
But the Zetron only needs a 12 button pad.
Guess I'll wait for the new version from NHRC.

If you don't have a 16 button keypat you don't have a full pad. also 
you can download a simple dialer that generates DTMF from the sound 
card of a pc and you can use it to program the NHRC2 OR ANYTHING 
ELSE THAT TAKES DTMF and the program is free...there are many. You 
can even store DTMF strings for sending complete commands from one 
button.

What's the big deal about 12 vs. 16 button pads? I don't know of any ham 
controllers that REQUIRE using the fourth column!

I guess you guys weren't following the thread that closely.
Programming an NHRC-2 on a 902 repeater using a GTX.
Unless you know of a 902 HT with a 16 button pad ??

Buy a new radio. What are you using?  Sounds like a Motorola HT-220
with a 12 digit keypad added on.

If you use a Yaesu HT then fine.
But, not many commercial HT's have 16 button pads, especially
at 900 MHz.

TX/RX omni at 195' in the air a top a Hotel on the BD walk. All connectors
even jumpers are type "N" the repeater and controller are powered by a rack

work. We hope to have some pictures of the site soon as some one takes them.
If you would like a complete list of the network you can drop a note to

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola 16 Pin Accessory Plug Part # Digi-Key

Does anyone have the Digi-Key Part Numbers for the 16 Pin plug that 
fits the back of the Motorola Maxtrac and the pins that fit the plug. 
I remember seeing the information posted, but I cannot find it.
Thanks in advance.

Well as a Kenwood when I got my contract with them it gave the area I can
sell in.  If I am selling out of my area they can STOP selling to me.  I
have seen that happen to people in the past.  Also to sell Kenwood products
there is a bout a 32 page contract I had to fill out.  They make a very good
product and happy to sell it.   I have in the past seen a number of dealers
of equipment removed from selling it just because given 30 days notice and
you are out.   Even companies like JBL, Shure, Medeco, C&K, are also some
that do that.  Also  Kenwood can require you to go through the local dealer
for repair even to send in the unit and to get a RMA #, if the local does
not want to work with you then where are you?  It may get repaired but sit
on his shelf for weeks before he sends it in.   There is a little discount
you get for volume but if you buy from you local dealer it may help him get
it so he can pass it on to you,  ever think of that?

thanks for my .02

dealer for Kenwood, Vertex, Maxon, Midland, EF Johnson  and soon Icom
(all in Florida and some in East TN also)

Good reasons = $

Instead of helping out the Amateur community, who on that rare occasion
does perform some valuable public service, they would just as soon gouge
everyone equally.

They just don't understand the market and good will they could generate.
How many repeater users would like to use a nice new repeater instead
of some cobbled up pile of obsolete radios ??

End of rant, I now go back to building another 902 repeater from someones
castoff radios.

BTW-Motorola and M/A-Com have similar policies. And for good reason.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeater

[Richard W. Solomon]

It says to ..."dial in the FCC Channel Number"...
Not very useful for Ham use (39 MHz split).
Unless they will provide a new EPROM for 25 MHz split.

Any idea on pricing ??

I went to the Kenwood site to find what repeaters they have, and all I did
find were 145mcs and 444 mcs repeaters. No mention about 902s.

What are the model numbers are you folks talkin about?
