Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: OT - funny interference story
A couple of years ago, I was in SF near the Height / Ashbury district and had a Karaoke comming over my 220 radio. I listen for as long as I could stand it and then changed to simplex and transmitted in a deep voice This is the devil, you are bothering me, stop singing (followed by my call of course).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: OT - funny interference story
Granted, but distant weak signals (in my experience) are the exception on repeaters..not the rule. CTCSS on the input would have kept the wireless mic(s) from getting through the repeater, until someone keyed up the repeater with a valid signal. At that point, it would have been a game of which transmitter captured the receiver. We have a similar problem in our locale with a wide area UHF system. The Air Force has a powerful radar system on a base ~80 miles away. From time to time we hear the radar beam sweep across the input, right on frequency. It doesn't key the repeater, but it can be heard once the receiver is opened. It's annoying at worst, because most of the voice traffic on the repeater is strong enough to (almost) fully capture the receiver...except for the rare, weak signals. Then its sorry, try later when you're closer.. At 04:01 PM 1/12/2006, you wrote: Robin Midgett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Isn't that what CTCSS is for?? Nope... Regardless of the use of ctcss or dcs, the signal on the input can knock out valid distant weak signals. CTCSS/DCS is not meant to hide or mask out problems. s.

As far as I know and can remember nobody got caught, Motorola never admitted the problem and I don't remember the Police investigating. If Motorola found the person they did not admit that either.
