[Repeater-Builder] 25+ 900 mHz GTX mobiles and other goodies
I have a pile of 900 mHz Motorola GTX mobiles units.. mostly the 15 watt model. There is also a few 900 mHz Maxtracs in the pile.. total about 30 radios. In addition, I have an excellent (NEW) repeater antenna for 902-928.. possibly 18 foot tall, fiberglass commercial model. All of the GTX mobiles have been checked for proper operation. I sure would like to see this entire package go to some ham club that will use it.. priced accordingly! Sam, WA5VDM
[Repeater-Builder] Re: what controller to use for repeater and link to be installed 800' in the air?
Again, the controller must operate the repeater, and a UHF link. I'm currently looking at the NHRC-5, and also their Remote+ external DTMF decoder. The additional decoder will be on an independent UHF receiver, and will operate as an "ultimate" control for the repeater. Any power cycle will leave the repeater "off-the-air" until the correct command is sent to the Remote+, latching a relay and sending power to the rest of the system. Once burned, twice shy.

[Repeater-Builder] what controller to use for repeater and link to be installed 800' in the air?
I am soliciting input as to the most reliable and cost effective controller to use on a system that will be installed on a platform 800' up a tower. Getting back up to the system for service is not easily done, nor inexpensive, so reliability is of the essence. The system will be in South West Louisiana.. temps might get as cold as 25 degrees, and as hot as 140 degrees. Thanks! Sam, WA5VDM
[Repeater-Builder] Vertex-Standard VX-4000U mod to 440?
I have a request to provide flat audio from dc to 5k on a UHF link from a 2 meter repeater. I've got some new Vertex-Standard VX-4000U radios that would do nicely, but they won't program below 450. Has anyone run across a mod to the software that will allow use on 440 freqs? Thanks! Sam, WA5VDM
