Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller recommendations
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. 73, Joe, K1ike On 7/19/2010 12:30 PM, wd8chl wrote: heh-RS-232 on a ham controller was a pretty rare bird no matter what...only a few had it...til abt 7-8 years ago or so...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller recommendations
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. -- Steve steve.jones at rogers.com

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller recommendations
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?

[Repeater-Builder] Controller recommendations
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?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller 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.

[Repeater-Builder] Controller enclosure shielding
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. Thanks for any replies.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller order PayPal problems
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. Just my humble opinion.

[Repeater-Builder] Controller order , paypal problems
Some of you will recall that I had problems with Paypal when ordering a repeater controller. I sent two E mails to paypal and got no satisfactory reply...just stock answers I then called them to find out why they sent an E Check for my purchase instead 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. I've used them many times in the past and never had a problem until now. John VE3AMZ
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller order , paypal problems
It's happened to me several times as a seller. They hold the instant payment as pending Wont release it until you get positive feedback or send them delivery notification. Their idea of keeping sellers in check. My response to them after several calls was why when I have 100% satisfaction and outstanding feedback. Thier answer, Standard procedure.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller order , paypal problems
I'll chime in, 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 button twice.

[Repeater-Builder] Controller order PayPal problems
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 with legislators.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller Recomendations
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.

Chris wrote: Is there a repeater controller that I could use to tie an Echolink and IRLP together with? One that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? 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.

Is there a repeater controller that I could use to tie an Echolink and IRLP together with? One that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Chris KA7CJH Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] controller question
If you have an IRLP node you can easily install Echolink on it, and then they'll both use the same hardware.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] controller question
Just use ANY 3 (or more) port repeater controller.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller
Kevin, Your correct but the price of the controller has not changed. If they had gone up on their product I would understand their position. My problem right now is Mr. Otterson called me a liar, I will not accept that at any time. Guess I am lucky, the 500 foot tower is in my back yard (literally) and maintaining them will not be a problem. There are two split site repeaters in the bunch and I go to that site all the time for a customer. That is unless I can find a good (big) duplexer for 10 and 6 meters.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller
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.

Paul Finch wrote: Sorry, at $249.00 that would be #2,490.00 for the ten controllers. NHRC-4 is 40 bucks plus parts that add up to about 20. 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. Kevin Custer Yahoo!

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. Bob NO6B Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Controller
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. 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. I may still have to buy the controllers from NHRC but will not be happy about it. Will have to wait and see.

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. Kevin Custer Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

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