Re: [Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac conversion to 220?

2004-10-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]


YES A 220 MHZ CONVERTED MAXTRAC WOULD BE NICE. IF THE INFO IS AROUND PLEASE 
SEND ME A COPY.

ALSO AS ON BATLABS I BELIEVE THE 99 CHANNEL MAXTRAC WAS LOWBAND IT HAD A LARGER 
MEMORY PROM TO HOLD THE PROGRAMMING DATA FOR 99 CHANNELS AND THE SOFTWARE WAS A 
SPECIAL VERSION THE ONLY CUSTOMER WAS A CANADIAN POWER COMPANY. 

BUT WAS THE MARATRAC 99 CHANNEL RADIO AN OFFSHOOT OF THIS VARRIANT ?

 I am going to install one now as our repeater receiver. I would also like to 
 replace our transmitter with one in the future.

First question-how did you get it programmed?
Then the next hurdle would be the VCO...

Along similar lines, has anyone ever tried upgrading the Maxtrac to 99
CH? There was a special model made by Motorola to do that, but I think
it was a Low Band model. The problem is that the firmware is almost
impossible to find and the software (RSS) is even more difficult.

What did you do to get the Receive and Exciter to go there?? I would
love to use some of my more "modern" moto stuff on that band.
