Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Stuff

It looks like from Batlabs that 2 would be 800mhz stuff and one might be vhf high band. Not sure if they could be used in the ham bands or not. 2 Spectra's 1) Mod.# TA3GX+078W ID # T83GXA7HA3AK Great 2 meter rig! 110 watts and remote mount, with an A3 head. I'm not familiar with that one, but it looks like microphone with display and control capabilities integrated into it. I have an A4 head on my VHF Spectra and am converting my UHF one to the A4 head as well, not sure what is involved in converting an A3 to an A4. I don't know whether the A3 is capable of scan and/or zones. 2) Mod# D45KGA5JC7AK ID # (same) 45 watt dash mount 800 MHz trunking mobile. Don't know whether it can be converted to the 900 MHz ham band or not, but you could probably trade it for the 900 MHz version which will have a 7 as the third digit in the model number.

Kevin Custer (Somerset, PA) 146.79 (K3PSP) was located at that time on the WJPA broadcast tower. My Super Fleetfone was capable of 4 frequencies. In addition to 146.52 and the 146.79 repeater, I had rocks for the 146.61 Greater Pittsburgh VHF Society repeater and the 146.67 Laurel Highlands VHF Society repeater in Acme. I was good to go while mobile pretty much anywhere in Southwestern Pennsylvania! 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD Yahoo!

I think Sam was originally on 145.25 in the early 1980s and moved after a short time to 145.49 to get away from the cable TV leakage crud. Wow, what a workout for the memory banks! I moved out of the Washington area to Northern Virginia in the mid-1980s but traveled back regularly until about 1990 when I moved to Minnesota for E. F. Johnson. At the Irving, TX Hamfest today there was a guy with a box full of E. F. Johnson manuals -- sure brought back the memories! 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Ham freqs in a Motorola HT750?
Eric Lemmon wrote: I congratulate you on your desire to use a commercial-quality radio on the Amateur bands, but I think you're going to need two radios to satisfy your wideband objectives. Yeah, I personally like the DC-to-light capabilities of some wideband Amateur gear, but that capability brings along a lot of limitations! That's the reason I swapped out the IC-2720 in my Jeep for a VHF and a UHF Spectra today (after converting the UHF radio to Range 2!). 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD Yahoo!
