RE: [Repeater-Builder] icom ic-u-400 as a repeater???
I did make a portable repeater out of two U-400s years ago. They worked OK, not super. The nice thing was that I programmed them as reverse user radios, so they were easy to swap if one transmitter or receiver failed. Just trade the RF cabling and the input/output cabling and go. One thing that was nice is that I could get all of the signals I needed out the mic jack after a quick modification to bring out the COR. I used a UNSQ line as the COR and just brought it out one of the mic jack pins I freed up from ground. I wouldnt think about using them as a fixed repeater. Theres LOTS better radios out there for that purpose. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:02 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] icom ic-u-400 as a repeater??? does anyone know if its possible to make a icom commercial 400 mhz mobile. ic-u400 into a repeater?? thanks dave kb2znc Yahoo!

The scheme the U400 uses in its synthesizer makes it impractical.
