[Repeater-Builder] Moto Pulsar 120
I have a Motorola Pulsar 120 S Mobile Telephone that was used before cellular phones. I am told that one can modify this radio to become a repeater. I know nothing about this radio/phone. How many watts, channels, VHF OR UHF, or even if this spefic model can be modified to a repeater. I have searched google and yahoo and msn to see what I could find out about this 120 S model and I was very unsuccessful. If anyone has any information that they could pass along to me that would be great. Riley.
[Repeater-Builder] Privacy Handset
Does anyone know where a person could get a privacy handset for the Motorola Car Kits. I was told motorola never made the privacy handset. I also have HSU-1 fro a nokia car kit i could rewire if any one has some info on that and i also have some motorola bag phones with their handsets, I just need a privacy handset to pick up and talk on. I can not just take the phone out of the cradle because my antenna is hooked up to 3 watt booster and i would loose cell service if pulled it out. any info or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also sorry for it being off of topic for some of the yahoo groups but those are the ones i subscribe to and I figured someone might have some good info. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: OT: NC man charged with 'driving a cop car' due to ham antennas
I have a suburban 1997 white with 6 antennas for Ham radio rigs and a UHF radio for Med Chs. I am also the Asst. EMS Director with an ambulance service and have flashing lights. the State Police here in CO have hassled me about my suburban. To have lights you must possess an Authorized Emergency Vehicle Sticker and be certified by the State of CO. I have this Sticker and there is nothing that they can do. The State patrol that lives in our town has been caught several times uptown running me into the ground about my antennas and my lights that he can do nothing about. So. Just to make things better I Got a dog cage and put in the back of the suburban to keep my Yellow lab in when we go camping/fishing etc. I tell you what they Local State Patrolman has had a fit. the local PD and Sheriff are ok with it they are who gave me lights. and emergency equipment. I only run the lights to calls and in emergency situations the antennas are all used for Ham radio and except the one for UHF Med Radio and one for 800 Digital Scanner. All of which I can have. I did not know this problem was this widespread until reading about the NC man.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola APCOR
HIPPA only deals with patient specific information examples are, SOC. SEC number birth date, name, pts address, pts phone number etc. not their medical information. you are still allowed to give your medical report over the radio, an 85 y.o. female that is complaining of severe abdominal pain etc. etc. as long as you do not say her name ex: ms. Jones is complaining of severe abdomincal pain today etc. etc. and son on with your medical.. If you have information about eht federal law on medical privacy please do email it to me as i would like to see it if there is such a law our service would need to update... soon than we had planned thanks Riley.

[Repeater-Builder] Vertex VX-200U
Is i possible to use a scanner BC796D as the Rcvr for a repeater. i am looking at hooking up the scanner to the VX2000u and using it as a crossband repeater however i know that the scanner wont transmit so its like a crossband monitor i guess. i dont know if this is possible i do know that you can make a repeater out of two vx2000u radios.
