Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater for GMRS use-help needed??

[news]

So you mean that all these people who use the GE Master II and Motorola Mitreks 
are building NON-Compliant radio. Yes there not built to be repeaters but wow. 
If the FCC goes after people who do that then why arent these people being 
fined.

 Be very careful,mobiles are not type accepted for repeater use in the GMRS
 or commercial band. Check the rules to avoid a big fat fine,,,see
 www.fcc.gov

   Johnny,
   I havnt seen anything saying that you cant use 2 radio to make a
 repeater. I
   know most radios have about 50 watts output so the power should be
 turned down
   a bit to save that radio and help from people in the area complaining.
 
  No, most UHF mobiles are 25-35 watts, as are the radios he mentioned,
  but that is NOT continuous duty rated as is needed for a repeater. For
  repeater duty, it MUST be turned down or it will burn up.

Johnny,
I havnt seen anything saying that you cant use 2 radio to make a repeater. I 
know most radios have about 50 watts output so the power should be turned down 
a bit to save that radio and help from people in the area complaining. I Do 
agree you should listen to the area for any other users that use close freqs. I 
would really check for FRS use with PL tones.I know in my area that 462.550 is 
not a highly used GMRS freq so I chose that.And the closest freq is 40 miles 
away and I talked with that owner to make sure we dont have the same PL tones.

 The first you need to ask is if they are type excepted for repeater use 
 on the GMRS freqs.
 I have yet to see any regular moblie radio's, from the factory, that 
 were type accepted for use as a repeater in the gmrs area.

 Hello all,
 
 I am new to the group and am interested in building a
 repeater for GMRS use.
 
 I was told that I will need two identical radios with
 controller and dupluxer etc,but can someone explain a
 little more?
 
 I have two Kenwood TK-805D mobile radios and are they
 suitable for this task or what are my options?
 
 Any input will be very much appreciated!
 
  
  
  Barely-the important thing is that, on the one you use for transmit, 
  KEEP THE POWER DOWN to abt 10-12 W And at that you should put a fan 
  on the heatsink.
  You'd be better off finding something like a Mitrek or Micor or Mastr II 
  turnk-mount mobile, or best, a real station (MSR-2000 is roughly 
  equivalent to a Mitrek mobile), and making a repeater out of it. They 
  are easy to duplex and interface to a tone panel. Also they have much 
  better receivers for high profile sites.
  Besides, those radios are too nice to tie up on a fixed frequency 
  repeater. I use a 705D and an 805D in the car, and it sure is nice to 
  have  the field programmability.
