[Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302
How well do the Hamtronics T-301 transmitter and the R-302 receiver work on 2-meters? They seem very appealing because of size and ease of repair. But, do they work? Is there anyone on this reflector having experience with these two boards? I sure would like to hear from you. Lee w0vt Houston Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302
Our club bought the R-302 to replace our 20 year old receiver after lightening took it out. I am not impressed with it, especially if you compare it to a good old crystal controlled receiver, like a Magiorre. It has a real touchy squelch and seems to have some sort of a random noise problems. We are going to order a Magiorre 2 meter repeater later this year to replace our kludge 2 meter repeater we have had for many years. I have had no problems with the Magiorre brand of repeaters (two 220 MHz repeaters over the past 10 years). I would recommend their products. Very good customer service.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302
Lee, I have used both modules, in the 2m, 220, and 70cm bands, and in both standalone and REP-200 repeaters. They work well, but the standalone boxes that Hamtronics sells for them are too leaky, in my opinion. The modules work fine when mounted inside diecast metal enclosures with tight-fitting covers, and all signal and power connections made with feedthrough filters. The synthesized modules are far more stable than any that use uncompensated crystals. One important piece of advice: If you use one of the Hamtronics PA boards, it's a good idea to put a ferrite isolator on the output. These PA boards have no power control or high SWR protection, and the PA transistor is easy to toast. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee Bahr Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 9:12 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302 How well do the Hamtronics T-301 transmitter and the R-302 receiver work on 2-meters?
