Re: Pagers in 2009 - why? (was: [Repeater-Builder] A desense issue)

2009-02-09 Thread Sam Nelson
I'm currently involved in proposing a new paging system to a local
hospital. They feel they have the need for voice paging (old 2 tone
stuff). In addition, this system will page on event when a door is
opened, a system malfunctions, a nurse pushes a panic button, etc.

Having your own in-house paging system appeals very much to these
folks... as it does also to manufacturing and fire departments.

[Repeater-Builder] Duplexer

2007-06-07 Thread Sam
Can a VHF duplexer be modified to use in UHF or vise versa. If so what 
would have to be done. Just wondering, with a low power machine if this 
was possible(10-15 watts).





[Repeater-Builder] Re: 3 minute timeout. FCC regulation or myth

2007-05-04 Thread Sam
I have the TOT in all my radios set at 30 seconds and building a 2 
meter rptr that will be no more than 120 seconds, no reason in my 
mind to talk more than 2 minutes without releasing the PTT.

  Nothing about timeout though.
 
 The 3-minute timeout timer is the accepted means of accomplishing 
the 
 above. It goes back to the early days of repeaters (60's). Many 
 repeaters back then had 3-minute timers on the transmitter itself. 
You 
 had to let the transmitter drop off the air completely  to reset it.
 (I remember the ID interval was 3-minutes back then too. Not to 
mention 
 everything had to be logged.)
 
  Perhaps a friendly E-Mail to Riley asking if he'd bust you for 
it?
  In any event, a 3 minute time out timer is simply good practice 
and
  might save an expen$ive final.

 My usual rule of thumb is that the FCC is the last people you want 
to 
 ask whether something is legal or not. They will normally tell you 
it's 
 not, just to CYA.
 ARRL has proven themselves to be worse.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Poor Mans Repeater - Receiver

2007-04-16 Thread Sam
I had a few GM300's VHF laying around the house for a few years. Got my 
ham ticket back in the winter and have been trying to make a 2meter 
repeater. Got em programmed with out any problems, ordered a cable that 
plugs into the 16 pin connection of one and into the mic slot of 
another. I'm using an 8ch Gm300 as the Reciever and a 16ch Gm300 as the 
transmitter. I have them connected to a couple of mag mounts on a metal 
roof. I have spent a total of $98 so far and have a small repeater 
system. Eventually, I will get a duplexer an add a fan. I was able to 
program a TOT of 60 seconds in the TX radio and the cable had a 2s tail 
on the hang time.






[Repeater-Builder] SP50 as receiver in RPT

2007-03-28 Thread Sam
I was surfing on the web yesterday and came upon a repeater that had 
been made out of a SP50 as the receiver and a radius mobile (16 pin) as 
the Tmtr. Does anybody have any info on a configuration like this?

[Repeater-Builder] TX RC antenna seperation

2007-03-23 Thread Sam
What would be the guidelines to use for antenna seperation on a 2 meter 
machine w/o a duplexer. Horizonal and vertical, this will be a limited 
use machine, so there will not be a lot of traffic.

[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Controller

2007-03-21 Thread Sam
Do you have to use an external controller when putting 2 radios 
together for a repeater? I just want a simple RX  TX and have the TX 
radio PG with a 2min TOT. There are some cables on the internet that 
claim all you have to do is plug and play (MOTO Radiuu 16 pin). Do they 
really work?
