Re: [Repeater-Builder] Looking for Link Identifier
No but I will with the next one I buy. I'm keeping the first one I built separate because it is a model that has the keyboard CW support AND the 5v regulator. I don't belive that firmware is available anymore. I have and will use that feature. The connection kit is a great interface board. The only other product that is built as versatile (for another purpose) is the Signalink series of sound card interfaces. You can tie those interfaces into almost any radio out there by chopping off the end of an old CAT5 cable and wiring the bare ends with your radio connector.

The radios have keypads on the backlit mics, and a couple of shots seem to show some sort of trunking or simulated trunking or channelization that includes more than just the standard marine FM channels, of course... but there's also been times when at least one boat overheard a conversation that was ship to ship that the other skipper wasn't expecting them to hear. Whatever they're using now seems to have ship to ship and all call type communications between the vessels in the particular co-op that's fishing and filming the show, and then of course there's the Coast Guard on another analog radio. Anyone have any idea what/how these open ocean systems they're using work. They're 200-300 miles off-shore, so I am assuming satellites may be involved.

The camera guys regularly take shots of the GPS when voices come out of the overhead with the voice-over guy saying, over the radio, a call is heard... ... blah blah blah, the usual goofs for a TV show... or just taking a picture of something that looks high- tech, and the GPS looks like fancy and lit up... so they don't show the radio that's actually what the skipper is talking on.

Looking forward to it. I'm not the PIO but I do know a couple of program directors. Thanks for the point! PSAs are free, but most stations run them at 2 AM, if they run them at all. The ARRL has PSA's available for you to try to place in your local media. It's worth a shot, even at 2 AM. www.arrl.org/pio.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Listening
I've got a VOX recoding program that works well I could transfer to you (public domain I think) There are programs for some of the computer controllable scanners like the RS 2052 and Unidens that will not only record but time stamp each set of recordings. Mark A. Holman wrote: The thing with Scanning you was to leave a scanner @ the site with some sort of an audio recorder you have no clue which frequency is being monitored, however if you log and document which frequency you are listening to during a recording session and do it over a specified amount of time say 4 hours during the rush hour activity 3pm until 7 pm for example or longer if you prefer say 9 or 10 pm. it may give you a window of opportunity to see how much activity is going on.

Any ideas? Put up a cross band repeater using very low power to the transmitter. If your receiver it on 2 meters you could use a low power 440 transmitter, wven with a beam to your house. Maybe even use some nonstandard repeater frequencies, just be sure the transmitter is in the repeater band. You could use a tape recorder with a vox on it, or there are some computer sound card programs that will do that if you want to leave a computer at the site. __ Discover Yahoo!

Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 15:47:15 EST Dave, After reading your hurtful remark on repeater builders I told my boss. Guess what you are on the no service list. You owe Cook Towers for a back invoice you have not paid and they have called you on. It is over 16 days not paid. Bet you won't tell that to folks on repeater builder. Your post I find very hurtful after I went out of my way to help you! Even late passed 17:00 on one night to help. I only get paid till 17:00 eastern as Cook closes at 17:00 eastern. As for your wrong pin that came from CAT not me. Once again your on tape telling me that from CAT. Also it was not three weeks as you stated. Your repeater is just that old. I also have you saying that the Kenwood TKR-850 is working very well and how much you like the auto. Once again we do not support any thing we do not sell and hooking someone else's controller to a repeater is not of our concern it is yours and yours alone. We just helped you at no charge because you needed help. Well if the Kenwood TKR-850 has any problems for the next 2 years call us and we will 100% support it. Any thing you did not buy from us I wish you well but I (we) will NOT help you on any thing you did not buy from here.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Powering the Repeater With Marine Batteries
I think you are talking about Optima batteries. Yea I've got one in my Minivan :) It's the main battery and has been working great for quite awile. 3 year free replacement. I have the Red top battery but all the young bucks say the yellow lasts longer. I didn't see much difference. http://www.optimabatteries.com/publish/optima/americas0/en/config/home.html I'm adding a second one thats going to live in the rear part of the van. You can mount these upside down in the passenger seat if you so desire. No venting issues (they say) Real nice thing if you have a GM (side post) battery, It gives you that extra set of top posts to wire radios to in a separate set of circuits. I'm running a 4 guage to the rear of the van and using a expansion block to split it off to several fused circuits for other radios. Also fused at the battery.

[Repeater-Builder] Non standard CTCSS tones in Amateur service
I know a repeater that required a tone not implemented in the standard 38 would not make a it too popular but is it legal? I was wondering if a pair of these on a rcv link would discorage interference. http://www.com-spec.com/ts64.htm Yahoo!

Hello All, The question over the week end was about could you use a GE master two on GMRS under part-95. The answer is not at this time. I called the FCC and at this time NO GE, MA/COM or Ericson may be used on GMRS under Part 95 GMRS. None have FCC certification at this time. They may or may have had it in the past but none can be used at this time. I could not find any model on my list that I had that was a few months old. So I called this morning to get an answer. So if you are running any of the above on GMRS you can't under part 95 GMRS. Sad but true. Sincerely,Russ Stafford, EE,PE.GROL, PG-GB-01751.HAM, W3CH.GMRS, WPYK-254. Life member, ARRL. Member, RCA.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: FCC typr acp.
Then how is it I see them and lots of other GE, Midland etc stuff in use as GMRS stuff. I guess there is no self policing of these frequencies like there is in Amateur. I bet if there was that the 5 and 8 mile radios on sale at Wal-Mart (junk compared to a good Kenwood 349E BTW) would be protested by legally licensed GMRS operators. I saw how Wal-Mart and the manufactures get around this though by including a mice type version of the GMRS application inside folded up in the part you toss. Has there ever been a "Pirate" GMRS repeater shut down? GMRS is new to me and I'm wondering if it's just a freeband whose only requirement is $80 to the FCC and then that is optional if no one complains. I notice there are only 2 GMRS repeaters here in my area. No one seems to use them at all. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 12:13 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: FCC typr acp.

What are the rules on a portable repeater? Would a mobile Micor as a portable be ok? Is 50w ERP the rule? - Original Message - From: russ To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: FCC typr acp. Yes! They have shut down a few un license GMRS repeaters in the Phila.. PA area. They even got a contractor for no license. They even got a group in the Camden NJ area for no license and it was a non profit group running a fund-raiser with all HT's. So yes they are working on it. They busted me for running a Master two on GMRS. It had been on for a while and on a part 17 tower inspection on a matter not connected to me they saw the unit while check all units in the tower. As for using outer things I had two master two's and one Micor and I have replaced them all with 3 Kenwood TKR-850 repeaters. You can run any thing you would like BUT it can be costly. The outer thing is they found a few 100 watt units (50 watts Max on GMRS repeaters) and some mobiles used as repeaters and it is not a good thing. They are nice about it. But! I found in my case it was better and cheaper to replace the units then keep them on a pay a fine. Good luck and enjoy GMRS I sure do.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 1-day scanner sale - RS PRO-83 1/2 Price
200 channels, no trunking, $60... Not a value with all the Pro 94s and BC-235s/245s on the market for the same or better price. It's amazing how RS corporate seems to think much of their stuff is a deal. EX: I got a Verbatim 256MB USB drive for $9.95.at Microcenter this morning. RS had a Door Buster 128MB for double the price. Mathew Quaife wrote: As a Radioshack dealer, I will agree that this is one of the nicest little scanners that they came out with. At first looks of it, I was not impressed, with on hands playing with it at the show, it made it's way into the store. Although the sale ended today, I am certain that it will be going on sale numerous times throughout the year. I can't tell you when, but it will. Check with some of your dealer stores, not company owned, and they may be willing to honor the $60.00 price if they have any left. Mathew Forwarded to WA6ILQ by another mailing list... Subject: 1-day scanner sale - RS PRO-83 1/2 Price Had to go to Radio Shack today for work, which turned out good for me. Today (Nov. 26) ONLY the PRO-83 is $59.99, 1/2 off. This is a non- trunking scanner. It covers the normal VHF and UHF scanner frequencies (i.e. no mil air) and 800/900 MHz. It has ten banks of memories, with 20 memories per bank. What sets this scanner apart is the feature called Signal Stalker Search. This functions in a manner similar to the Optoelectronics Scout's ability to reaction tune a receiver by detecting nearby transmissions. I use a Scout - Smart Line - Bearcat combination, and the PRO-83 is comparable, better is some ways and worse in others (one improvement is that everything is in one box). If you had a Scout / Smartline / Bearcat you could be within 50 feet of someone with a handheld and when they squeezed the PTT you'd instantly have the TX freq and PL. This can be useful in many situations. The RS scanner - at $60 - is handy for just this feature. In addition you get a 10m/low band / 6m / aircraft / 2m / highband / UHF / 800 / 900 mhz scanner that you can load up with frequencies from your PC. Get them while they are in stock !!!
