Re: [Repeater-Builder] mobile repeaters
for what you are describing, it would be more worth your while to invest in a cross banding mobile rig. that way you won't have to worry about getting a controller, and duplexer's, etc. however, there is a fine line between cross banding and a repeater. as long as you use it for short time use, and identify it as your's and that you are cross banding there is nothing wrong with it. i do the same here at my house, as i live in the woods (so to speak) also. there are several out there to choose from. alinco DR-605tq 2/440 (i have) is a good solid rig, but it gets hot easily. put a small 12v fan on the top of it to keep it cool and you will be good to go. the yaesu 8800 2/440 is also a cross banding rig. i have a couple of yaesu's here and they are good rigs also. i do not however have the 8800. as long as you use a good mobile antenna you should be ok. i have a diamond SG7500nmo on my car. great antenna. hope this info helps. 73 STEVE - KC8RSR [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kc8rsr.tripod.com/ AIM / YAHOO = KC8RSR ---Original Message--- From: ctool1968 Date: 11/16/05 10:58:09 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] mobile repeaters I am curious,what would it take to build a moble repeater,I am wanting something that I can possibley change channels depending on what freq I want to use,it will be more for my use only cause I am in a rural area and want to be able to have my handheld go to the truck and then out with something like 100 watts or even 50 watts,I think that state patrol use something simalar to this but I dont know how to make one for the freqs I want or the cheapest way to do so,THANK YOU Yahoo!

i should have also added that this is assuming you are a ham and are using ham frequency's. if you are wanting it for commercial use, than you will have to do a similar setupwith commercial equipment.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] GM300 Squelch Adj.
take the 2 screws out of the front. the face panel will come off, and is attached by 2 connectors. once the front panel is off, the outer case should pop right off. the metal covers inside, will have to be CAREFULLY pried off with a flathead screwdriver.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TKR-820 Timeout Timer Problem - Frustrating!
sounds like you need to try to rewire the whole system, separate the TX and the RX and wire them into the CAT 300 separately. i have never been fond of systems that use an internal controller. i would rather have 2 separate radios, one for TX and one for RX and tie them into the controller. just my 2 cents worth. 73 STEVE - KC8RSR [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kc8rsr.tripod.com/ AIM / YAHOO = KC8RSR ---Original Message--- From: N9WYS Date: 11/09/05 22:24:11 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] TKR-820 Timeout Timer Problem - Frustrating! Before you all banish me to the outer reaches of Mongolia - or somewhere else - because of all the questions I keep posing about this machine, please understand that I have tried to research this issue in the technical material I have available to me and I keep coming up empty. This is why I keep prodding. I know there is quite a wealth of knowledge here, so Im trying to tap into some of that knowledge That being said, heres the latest on this frustrating issue. I have a TKR-820 interfaced with a CAT-300 repeater controller. The CAT-300 operates fine, whether the internal controller is turned ON or OFF. The only issue I have is with the internal timeout timer. Previously, the repeater would shut itself down after 2-1/2 minutes when the internal controller circuitry was turned OFF. (REPEAT button OFF) The external controller was set for a much longer time, so I knew it wasnt the CAT-300 causing the problem. I went to the site a few days ago, and adjusted the TOT pot on the internal controller to its maximum (5 min). I then made certain that the external controllers TOT was set shorter (4 min) than the internal one worked just fine. (So I thought ) I departed. Apparently, I departed prematurely. (No jokes here, OK? Hehehehe) Anyway, this evening I heard two stations using the repeater and at 5 minutes the repeater dropped. DAMN!! I went back out to the repeater site to trouble check some more. I found that if I unplug the external controller and have the internal REPEAT function turned ON, the internal controller controls the machine I expected this. (Not what I want!) If I unplug the external controller and have the REPEAT function turned OFF, the repeater does not repeat plug the controller back in, and the repeater works. (This IS what I want!) However, if I dont turn the REPEAT function ON, the repeater times itself out way too soon I presume that this is because of the INTERNAL timeout timer So, how do I totally disable the internal timeout timer? It is becoming more apparent that the timeout timer functions in two ways the first, as a repeater timeout timer (of course); but secondly, as a stuck mic timeout timer when the radio is in base station configuration (simplex operation) This has really frustrated me, and now Im on a quest to figure out just how to shut that damned internal timeout timer off once and for all. Any suggestions?? Can I just unplug the internal controller board altogether? Mark N9WYS YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group Repeater-Builder on the web.
