Re: [Repeater-Builder] FRS/GMRS repeater urgently needed for Haiti
Someone else pointed out a simplex repeater. Just plug into a handheld placed on a hill or high building. It is a bit annoying to hear it repeat everytime, but for this type of emergency it could work. I have used them and its pretty effective. - Original Message - From: John johnk.mch...@att.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Cc: repeat...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 12:31:45 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Repeater-Builder] FRS/GMRS repeater urgently needed for Haiti Please disregard my call for help.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Quantar Battery Type Selection
Hey Tim, I was lucky and got 14 UPS batteries from a change out at work, all 260 AH! and all good, they just change them every year for safety. But they weigh almost 100 lbs! - Original Message - From: tahrens301 tahr...@swtexas.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 9:18:07 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Quantar Battery Type Selection Hi Eric, HA! You are correct. In the scheme of things, the 26AH gel cells are not Large! (Most of the ones that I've used are in the 2-5A hour). Hence my indication that they are large! (Wish I had some 260AH) Thanks for the info - I'll set it for the 'Non' selection. As these are small compared to a 'normal' sized battery, the main purpose is to let the repeater stay on line till we get up turn on the generator. Most of the time, the outages are only for a short while, so they ought to work ok. Thanks again!! Tim --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Eric Lemmon wb6...@... wrote: Tim, A discussion on this topic was found on the Batlabs Batboard, and I have excerpted two relevant paragraphs from separate posts: From the Hardware screen, the RSS gives you four battery type choices: None, Lead Acid-Linear, Lead Acid Non-linear, and NICAD. Use the Lead Acid-Linear selection for flooded-cell lead acid batteries and the Lead Acid Non-linear setting for gel cells. There is no setting for AGMs, but I've been told by folks whose judgment I trust that, if your charger doesn't have a specific curve for AGMs, you can use the flooded cell curve with no significant impact on the batteries. This might be enough info for you to calculate runtime. Here's a table from power-sonic that might help. According to them, and in my experience, Lead_Acid_Non will float a gel cell properly - 2.26 volts per cell. Linear is for lead-antimony (flooded) cells - 2.21 volts per cell. Too low for lead-calcium (gel cell, AGM, etc). Too low float voltage makes the plates absorb water, and swell, and sulfate. So... It looks like the power supply does produce the correct voltages for the listed battery types. 3.5 amp current limit will take a long time to recharge a large battery - like a day and a half for 100 AH like the one in the link. But, really, how often will you take it to nothing? The Quantar RSS manual 6881085E35-AJ mentions nothing about determining the proper setting on the Battery Equalization screen. BTW, a 26 Ah gel cell is hardly a large battery, since that rating is about 1/3 the size of a typical car battery. Perchance, did you mean 260 Ah? 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tahrens301 Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 2:56 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Quantar Battery Type Selection What type of battery should I choose in the RSS Screen?
