RE: [Repeater-Builder] icom ic-u-400 as a repeater???

2004-03-31 Thread Rod Lane










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.

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