  S-Com can be a love/hate relationship.  The older models did not have 
an RS-232 interface, so you needed to keep track of everything

  The ability to program over-the-air, via phone line, or through the 
optional RS-232 port was one of the big advantages of the ACC 
controllers in the 1980's.  This was a controller that was way in front 
of the curve, but the cost was prohibitive for the average ham.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Controller choice seems to be like a religion.  Everybody has their  
favourite and are reluctant to try another brand.


The 3x4 vs 4x4 is a big one for me.  I think the only radio I own with  
a 4x4 keypad is an old 03AT.


At the remote site, I would have telnet access or serial access from  
the public internet and software access from within the private wan.


At this point I think I'll read over a few manuals and contact a  
couple of vendors.


Right now the biggest problem is to keep the internal repeat function  
of the repeater enabled while still allowing the controller to manage  
the remote link.


I think it's doable and will just require the right controller and a  
bit of playing.


Once again, thanks.

From the looks of it, controller firmware is leaps and bounds ahead

Steve,

How do you propose to operate the Quantar in analog mode with the external 
controller and simultaniously in digital mode using the internal controller?

The Quantar can operate as a mixed mode repeater ( analog to analog and digital 
to digital) but only with the internal controller function.

  I forgot two items which will affect my choice:


  1) Control codes cannot contain the DTMF codes A,B,C or D since I don't have

  2) The Quantar will probably have to be left setup as a repeater in order to 
pass the P25.  The controller would only need to key the repeater for link

[Repeater-Builder] Controller recommendations

2010-07-16 Thread Steve Jones

Hello all.

I'm looking at replacing an MSR2000 and homebuilt controller with a  
Quantar and commercially built controller.


Last controller I played with was an RC96 so it's been a while.

The repeater setup is pretty simple.

VHF MSR2000 with a simple courtesy beep and CW id'er.  Two 5 DTMF  
digit commands allow us to turn the repeater on and off.  The  
controller acknowledges the commands with a simple CW R.


There's a UHF link (MCX100) down to a hub repeater which allows  
linking to other repeaters.


The VHF repeater can be linked from the local side or the UHF link side.

Two 3 digit commands allow us to turn the link on or off.  The link  
has a 5 minute inactivity timer that takes the link down if nobody is  
using it from the local VHF side.


Two additional 5 digital DTMF commands allow us to make the link  
permanent and remove it.  This is used during Canwarn operations.


The courtesy beep changes to a boop during local activity while the  
link is up.


During linkup, the last 3 letters of the callsign are sent on the link  
and the local side as an acknowledgement the link is up.


That's it.  Pretty simple system that has been in use about 10 years  
now.  The only reason to change it out at this point is to add another  
P25 capable repeater to the area.


I'd like to keep the current functionality and possibly add a Weather  
Alert function.


I have a remote serial port available at the site for programming.   
Some sort of command line interface would be best.


I've looked at some of the Link Communications products and I've heard  
good things about them.


Any other recommendations?

I have a Link RLC-1 and a RLC-1 Plus.  They are nice controllers and very 
durable.  I acquired the RLC-1 from a friend of mine that had it installed at 3 
different sites.  One site took a direct lightning hit (nothing was grounded), 
controller survived.  The RLC-1 is a lot of controller.  If you want a lot of 
bells and whistles, timers, schedulers, etc, the RLC-1 Plus is really nice; and 
if you liked the way the old RC-96 sounded, you can make this one sound like it 
(Link bought the remains of ACC).  Both controllers can also be setup to run 
two 
separate repeaters as well.  Hope this helps.

Hello to  Group!,
I had a question on shielding. 
The controller I have has a gap on the back of the enclosure where the DB-9 is. 
Since I have been told everything has to be double shielded on a repeater, so 
should I put some copper tape across the back to cover the gap into the 
enclosure. I am not sure where the machine is going yet and thought if it was 
in a high RF environment, the RF would get into the opening and do something to 
the controller.

I have been burned by PayPal several times.  The real reason they put the
hold on your checks or hold money owed to you has nothing to do with
your ratings and little to do with security.  Basically, they control
billions of dollars in transactions ever month through EBay.  By holding
the money even a few days (typically 2 to 4 weeks), PayPal makes millions in
free interest on your money (your interest, actually).

 

There is little regulation in the industry and since EBay owns PayPal, they
can pretty much do as they please with your money and you can just lump it.
I'm a capitalist and I hate unnecessary government regulation and any form
of socialism.  However, I don't see any change soon as these guys are cozy

 There is little regulation in the industry and since EBay owns PayPal, they

 I'm a capitalist and I hate unnecessary government regulation and any form

I refuse to use paypal due to privacy concerns (they have been known to 
sell personal information in the past.) This is just more ammo against 
using them.
Frankly, if someone won't take a USPS money order, then they just don't

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller order PayPal problems

2010-03-17 Thread va2ir
I've been using Paypal since 1999 and have had absolutely no issues with them.

Actually on a sale overseas, they credited me the payment, then 10 
days later debited me because they could not access the foreign bank, 
then that was resolved and I was credited - twice!

Paypal is part of the Wells Fargo Bank, so there is no fooling 
around. And, if they did sell your private information, then millions 
of people would have their banking information all over the net, and 
certainly hacked.
This has never happened to me ever. And I am leery of on-line 
banking, but in over 10 years I have never had any reason to distrust 
Paypal. And they have phone support, unlike Ebay.

The only reason Paypal may delay a payment is due to the funds from 
the sender not being available. Even a money order can be held by 
your bank for a few days. They now consider them as being a check 
due to all the fraud going around. That;s what my bank HSBC told me. 
They won't even accept a walmart type money order any more.

I sent two E mails to paypal and got no satisfactory reply...just stock

of 
an instant money transfer.

Again the lady read from a script and after asking her several times why they 
handled 
it this way, she finally told me that they have instituted a new security 
measure.


When a purchase looks suspicious to their Computer, it decides to send an E 
Check
which can take 10 - 15 days to clear.

Is there any way to prevent thisno. since no human gets to see this 
transaction.
This might happen in 1 - 2 % of the transactions that they handle.

In my case the amount was $185.00 and it came out of my bank account instantly
but their computer decided that it might be suspicious !

So hopefully this information is helpful to anyone using Paypal to make 
payments.

notification. Their idea of keeping sellers in check. My response to them after

Paypal inadvertently sent a transaction twice withen 4 seconds of each
other. After holding for 30 minutes the asian lady on the phone said there
was nothing she could do as the transaction already went through and I'd
have to contact the seller and ask to refund one of the transactions, which
is funny as both were for the same amount and no I did not hit the send

If you're wanting a repeater controller that can control two repeaters at
the same site simultaneously, your options are going to be limited.
I highly suggest the SCOM 7330.  It's the mid-range price wise of the 3
controllers I'm familiar with that will complete your task.  The high end
price wise being the Link Comm DSP404 and the low end being the Arcom
RC-210.  I basically made my decision to go with the SCOM 7330 after
googling all the information about these 3 controllers, it was the only one
that I couldn't find even one bad thing or bug mentioned about.  So far,
it has exceeded my expectations and worked flawlessly.  Anytime I've had a
question, they are prompt to answer it as well.

Good luck in your endeavor,

Almost any controller can be connected to a

You ground a jumper to disable the internal controller,
and cable in your external controller.

See this page:

Which controller you ultimately choose depends on your needs.

 Hi guys,
 A local ham club recently received a Kenwood TKR-820 repeater. They are
 looking for recomendations for an external controller. Some of the features
 needed are to be able to enable/disable up to 3 link radios (2 for sure, one
 additinonal link radio later) via DTMF. Computer programmable. Don't really
 need to get fancy with voice anouncemt clocks or temperature or anything
 like that. May want to hook it up to a 100watt Mastr II later (much later) .
 Needs to be rack mountable as well...
 Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Hi All!
I recently received my new RC99 controller by N2HQI. Looks very well
built and the site I ordered it from gave good specs.All would be
perfect had he enclosed a circuit diagram and operating instructions.
Can anyone provide these? Thanks for reading this.

[Repeater-Builder] Controller connections to a TK-730

Hello group,

   I was wondering if any of you have connected a Kenwood TK-730 to a
controller for receiver purposes? We are particularly interested in
where to pick up the audio. Don't want to come directly from the
speaker - we're actually looking for the discriminator audio. Any help
is as always appreciated.  Larry N1MIW

HI Larry,

 

Its been a long time since I have touched the radios but YES, there are
connections to connect to a controller particularly the descrimintor audio
as well as the necessary stuff like PTT, TX Audio etc. We had several 830
for LTR repeaters mated to LTR controllers because they had a good front end
and lasted.

[Repeater-Builder] Controller connection to RPT-21

2007-04-02 Thread w6nct
Has someone successfully connected a controller and ComSpec CTCSS
module to a Standard Radio RPT-21?  If so, could you provide me
schematic changes to reflect these connections.

I am just learning about repeaters, and have an idea how this might be
done; but I lack the confidence, and would appreciat the help of
someone who has already done it.

For reference, I have a NHRC-5 controller, ComSpec TS-32 (or TS-32P,
if any better) CTCSS module, and an S-COM analog delay line.  I think
that these are the right pieces; all I think that I need is how to
hook it all up.

Thank-you.

Chris  KA7CJH

And if you ever actually cross-connect the two networks (ESPECIALLY any 
IRLP Reflector channel) without permission of the participating nodes 
and/or Reflectors, you can end up with some very cranky people on both 
sides.

Most IRLP Reflector operators have policy to not allow system to system 
cross-links.  Especially if they're not asked first, so they can monitor 
and use our built in tools to disconnect your node if something's not 
set up right.

IRLP and EchoLink are not quite oil and water, we all get along, but 
there are some differences in network philosophies there that you can 
fire up some people's emotions about.

There are also some VERY well-done digital ways to cross-connect the two 
networks that the Reflector and back-office admins have worked out 
through a lot of hard trial and error for things like the Hurricane Net, 
etc.

If you have a legitimate reason to tie the networks together, talk to 
folks that have been doing it a long time and sell them on your idea 
first... they may already have all the bandwidth and software necessary 
to do that type of thing right.  If you haven't figured out who to 
talk to -- you haven't been active enough in the community to start 
cross-linking things yet.  Hang around the YahooGroups list and help 
out... and all that usual stuff.

Basic rule of thumb... never EVER cross-link someone to another network 
without their knowledge, just like you wouldn't cross-band repeat 
someone else's repeater output to another band without ID's of your own 
and permission of the repeater owner.

(Don't get me started about dual-band radios that have 10,000 bells and 
whistles but the manufacturer's can't seem to give hams a legal CW ID 
for, in cross-band repeat mode...)

If all you wanted was both EchoLink and IRLP on your repeater... not 
cross-connecting them... ignore all of the above and join the EchoIRLP 
folks and their on-going beta test of unofficial software that seems 
to work pretty well, once installed.

Your correct but the price of the controller has not changed.  If they had

right now is Mr. Otterson called me a liar, I will not accept that at any

Guess I am lucky, the 500 foot tower is in my back yard (literally) and

unless I can find a good (big) duplexer for 10 and 6 meters.

You asked for it!  All I ever asked about was the NHRC-4 as you can see by
the emails, why would I think it was for anything else!  This is a copy of
all emails I have received to and from NHRC.  Somewhere in there I talked
directly to Richard to get the $35.00 per unit in quantities of ten or more.

Paul



Peter,

You use a PIC processor, not rocket science.  When a representative of a
company quotes a price companies normally stand behind that price.  It took
the two months you spoke of to save up the money to purchase these
controllers at $35.00 each.

I will probably buy these controllers because they are the only ones I can
afford with the number of repeaters I am building, I don't have to like it
though.

Kevin,

Thanks, I was figuring that much for each controller, I have one that I am
looking at now that is assembled for just a little more than 80 bucks.


Likely the ICS line?  A few of us here on the list helped Brian with the 
audio sections of his controllers and there is nothing wrong with them.

  I want to say I have no problem with the NHRC controllers, just how I was
treated when I tried to buy the 10 units.


Repeater Builder (the company) has purchased in the neighborhood of 150 
NHRC-4's, it's our most popular inexpensive controller; which I have 
built about 1/3 of them. We buy them 10 to 15 at a time and get no price 
break.  One has to realize that NHRC isn't making big money on a $40 
kit, especially when you figure the cost of the professional quality 
circuit board and parts, and the time to pick and pack the parts that 
are supplied, so, there isn't much room to haggle.  Maybe you are like 
me, an expert kit builder and won't have any problem building your kit, 
but, that isn't always the case.  Customer support (to some degree) has 
to be built into that same $40 price tag, so now how much are they

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller

2005-11-25 Thread Paul Finch
Kevin,

Like I said, I have never owned a NHRC product, I have used 5 MCC
controllers in the past and have been very happy with them.  What drove the
decision to try NHRC was the fact that I have 8 repeaters to build and their
price fit my very low budget.  I talked to a Rep from NHRC and he quoted 35
bucks each on a quantity of 10 (only need 8) or more units, got the email.
A couple of months later after I had scraped the money together I talked to
a different Rep and he said, no way can we sell them at that price.  Like I
said, I may have to buy the controllers from them but I will not be happy
doing so.

You are correct, I am looking at the ICS line and have sent a email to Brian
to that effect.

Thanks,
Paul

  I want to say I have no problem with the NHRC controllers, just how I was

Repeater Builder (the company) has purchased in the neighborhood of 150
NHRC-4's, it's our most popular inexpensive controller; which I have
built about 1/3 of them. We buy them 10 to 15 at a time and get no price
break.  One has to realize that NHRC isn't making big money on a $40
kit, especially when you figure the cost of the professional quality
circuit board and parts, and the time to pick and pack the parts that
are supplied, so, there isn't much room to haggle.  Maybe you are like
me, an expert kit builder and won't have any problem building your kit,
but, that isn't always the case.  Customer support (to some degree) has
to be built into that same $40 price tag, so now how much are they
making?  We are lucky that NHRC still considers selling a kit to those
of us who enjoy building.  I don't know the circumstances, but if you

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller

Mr. Otterson,

Would you like me to post the email I got from Richard???

You asked for it!  All I ever asked about was the NHRC-4 as you can see by
the emails, why would I think it was for anything else!  This is a copy of
all emails I have received to and from NHRC.  Somewhere in there I talked
directly to Richard to get the $35.00 per unit in quantities of ten or more.

Paul



Peter,

You use a PIC processor, not rocket science.  When a representative of a
company quotes a price companies normally stand behind that price.  It took
the two months you spoke of to save up the money to purchase these
controllers at $35.00 each.

I will probably buy these controllers because they are the only ones I can
afford with the number of repeaters I am building, I don't have to like it
though.

Paul

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller

2005-11-25 Thread Kevin King
In my line of work (cellular) I have never seen a quoted price that was good
for more than 30 days. Most of the quotes I receive are good for 10 to 15
days. then we take 6 months to pay :)

40 bucks- heck that is a tank of gas these days. Buy what you can and build
what you have parts for. the controllers will be the least of your problems
with the project you have on the table. Don't get me wrong 5 bucks times 6
controllers can make a good dent in your project budget. this is a
non-profit project? sounds like the scope of project needs some work. 6
repeaters is quite a bit of hardware to maintain. depending on what the
project is going to resolve I might be interested in supporting your
efforts.

I have no interest in nhrc, but can say Mr. Otterson is a good person to
deal with. I am in the same town as he and can say he is a good citizen.

Since you are building 10 controllers, I thought I share this 
information so you aren't as far off on your calculations

I have built about 50 to 75 NHRC-4's and buying quality parts will 
result in spending about $35 to $40 each.  This is considering new parts 
from a quality supplier.
If you are able to get bulk or surplus components cheaper, then YMMV.   
I always figure $80 for a NHRC-4 that I will build, not considering any 
shipping or compensation for my time.

I note the use of a 567 PLL IC for the CTCSS decode function.

If you plan on using CTCSS access full time, I'd suggest replacing that 
circuit with a real CTCSS decode board.  The 567s were fun to play with in 
my high school days, but they'll never equal the performance of a 
commercial CTCSS decoder.

[Repeater-Builder] Controller Speech Files?

2005-05-27 Thread Jim Nessen
I have an odd request, I was curious if there was any place I could
download the speech files used on a repeater controller?  I am in the
process of building a repeater and will be using a linux box as the
controller and would like some kind of speech... (without using
festival)..

Thanks!

Jim

The entire project looks great!  Where on the site do they talk about 
the repeater controller stuff?

Those should suit your purposes, and I believe that they are not encumbered 
by copyright.

Interestingly enough, the Asterisk project is working on some repeater 
controller stuff...  It looks pretty cool, and could give IRLP a real run 
for their money.

 Look at your baud rate, make sure it is set to  the correct speed.  If the
 RLX gets garbaged up, that is all you will get, and you will have to do a
 master reset on the RLC contoller to get it to work again.  A common 
 problem
 on the RLC controllers.

 I tryed a few things usggested on the GM300 set up this morning,
 (jumper placement, etc.) now when I fire up Procomm, all I can
 recieve from the RLC-4 is a bunch of ASCII charictures!!! I must
 have changed some setting in Procom? i get ASCII chaictures for 137
 (ë), 162(ó), 085 (U), 083 (S),115 (s), and 162 )ó), instead of the
 DTMF prompt, any suggestions? I have tryed resetting the controller
 and Procomm.

Sexy Voices over repeaters, was RE: [Repeater-Builder] controller madness (whiz' bang - sparkle!)

2004-12-07 Thread Paul Finch

Hello,

The date comment about the voice ID brought up a memory.  You say, OH NO!
Back in my Two Way Radio days we had several Police departments as
customers.  One particular dispatcher sounded so good over the air everyone
was really impressed!  After working on their radios we would call into the
dispatcher for a radio check, usually there would be a rush to see who would
make the call.  The voice coming from the dispatcher over the repeater was
always so sexy, she had to be a Ten, right?  Well as luck would have it I
got to make a service call to that dispatch office, much to my dismay I
found she would have fit better in two chairs than one.

Sorry about the off topic story but after all it was over a repeater!

Paul
