[Repeater-Builder] Motorola GM300 vs SM120??
I am running a UHF repeater using two Motorola GM300s and a RICK. Would it be worthwhile changing to two Motorola SM120s? We operate it at a broadcast site with lots of high RF fields. Is there a concensus on which repeater, commercial or amateur has the best receiver? Sincerely, Michael Bloom W7RAT
[Repeater-Builder] Choosing Commercial UHF Repeater
I suspect that many of the participants here have had experience selecting UHF repeaters for high-RF applications such as at broadcasting sites. Which would you buy and why? Yaesu/Vertex, ICOM, Kenwood, or some Motorola type? At present I am using a pair of Moto GM300s with a RICK controller. Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Moto GM300 - Deviation Control vs Limiting
The Moto GM300 has a software programmable deviation level with the software setting from 0 to 55 on an arbitrary scale. I thought that by lowering the deviation level I would see limiting in the deviation level given the same microphone input. Instead I see the deviation level responding to the setting but no peak limiting. Am I doing something wrong? Or are my expectations wrong? Michael Bloom W7RAT Yahoo!

Dear John, Thank you for the helpful feedback. I can be a bit pig-headed at times. I really wasn't sure exactly what deviation to set. I did monitor other repeaters and they are as wide as I mentioned. Having said that, I will adjust the deviation back to 5 KHz max if that is best practice. Michael Bloom, W7RAT Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Motorola GM300 Power-up Question
Subject: Motorola GM300 Model M34GMC29C3A UHF 16-channel Radio The radio was powering on and off ok using front panel volume control- switch.

John, Since I am the guy running the IRLP node you refer to, I thought I might take a moment to reply. The equipment now consists solely of Motorola GM300's, not amateur grade equipment. For the last six months or more both the 2m and 440 transmitters have had large cavity filters in place. I believe you may still be thinking of the original experimental equipment used for proof of concept. The 2m cavity is a Sinclair 10 diameter unit. As for the deviation I have measured it with a Motorola Model 2600 service monitor at 6 KHz, about the same as other repeaters in this area. The node can be heard 100 miles away in some directions by mobiles and those same mobiles running 75 watts, about the same as the node transmitter output, can be heard as well. As for the frequency, I'm running a SIMPLEX node on a SIMPLEX frequency. I just thought I'd bring you up to date and suggest that you check your facts next time. Sincerely, Michael Bloom W7RAT Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Operating Manual for Motorola R2200/R2400 Service Monitor
I've been fortunate enough to obtain a Motorola R-2400 Service Monitor (thanks Ebay!). It came with the Service Manual but no Operating Manual. Does anyone have an operating manual that I can buy or copy? Also, anyone in the Portland/Vancouver area who has need to use a service monitor, I'd be willing to help out with this one.
