RE: [Repeater-Builder] Apcor?
Back in the olden days when Adam 12 and Emergency were on TV, the guys would call Rampart and send a strip back to the ER using a Coronary Observation Radio. The Apcor would use the truck as a vehicular repeater back to the ER. The truck was equipped with a full duplex radio using MED 1 thru MED 10 with MED 9 and 10 reserved for dispatch, and 1 thru 8 for working channels. Med 1 Base was 463.000 and went in 25kc steps except MED 9 and 10, 462.950 and 462.975 respectively. The truck listened on several 458 Mhz. channels and retran on standard med channels. The Apcor worked in tandem with the truck and usually not solo, although some areas it could. Best I recall the 2 headed duplex monster in the truck ran about $21,000 plus the cost of the apcor.

Additional to Steve's -- "Squad 51" had the huge orange cargo-case... 80's era APCOR were more like a "double-sized lunch-box" - about 1/3 battery; believe the RF decks were built around the MX series..

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Apcor
The box on Emergency! was actually a GE telemetry radio I believe. The APCOR consisted of 2 parts. The APCOR itself was MX based and ran relatively low power, I think around 2 watts. The mobile unit was Micor based and they were strange beasts. The Micor/APCOR system was an in-band UHF repeater system. The Micor would TX and rcv on the med channels 1-10 on 460.xxx and rebroadcast out to the APCOR on 450.xxx. A neat system for its time.

Basic RF components were those Repco/Comco/whatever modular handhelds.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Apcor?
Seemed like Pioneer also made a coronary observation radio using GE MPE parts and pieces. Ssb Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Apcor?
For what it's worth, I'm looking for one of the Med radios (not sure of the manufacturer - the name "Epic" comes to mind) that came in a flip-open case... the lower half was one piece, kinda like a tray, and the upper half had a hinge in the middle and each end opened separately. All I'm after is the complete case - the radio is a bonus. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!
