Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Ritron Repeaters
Jerry, Is it possible for you to scan and make a PDF of this manual? If you can, send it to me or Mike WA6ILQ and we'll put it on the site for the benefit of others. I have a few schematics and such, but not a complete manual. I tried to scan what I have for Mike, but apparently my scanner has crapped since the last time I used it. (over a year!!) Mike, I have photocopied what I have and you are more than welcome to it if you send me an address. Please send it off-list though (Don't want to give the ham stalkers anything to go on!!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Ritron Repeaters
I am sorry to but in but did they make this in a vhf model by chance (the silver face ones would work better) that way I can use them for some on site portable repeater work for some very small coverage areas like a warehouse? We are running 151/159 range for our set.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Ritron Repeaters
Just relative to your post here... If you're playing with a Ritron Repeater of circa 80's vintage... then you probably have one of two types. The first is the black shoe-box model, which at first glance is considered a toy repeater. Under the right conditions the black shoe-box repeater works pretty well for what it is. Model RR-454 and similar nubers. The second model is the silver face unit... looking more like a desk-top radio... can also be a base station and/or repeater or combinations of both. Both of the above repeaters have what I call cigar tube notch type duplexers, which in the right conditions do work fairly well for their intended application. Most stuffy radio folks without much imagination discount these products as toys. When looking at these items with a more flexible and bean counter eye... the reason why there are a lot of these units out there will become obvious. They are much fun to play with... providing you have the right attitude and resources. cheers, s. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi All! > > I have a couple of Ritron UHF repeaters here and kind of curious if anyone > has had a chance to screw around with these little job site repeaters.

Brian I have converted two ritron responder., model rr-450 They work good., but internal duplexer is right on the edge., an external one would work better., (out of range)., as they are indeed 450-470 mhz Jerry VE3 EXT
