If my local area is any indication, they will simply add channels such as full time traffic and WX.

What is the digital television transition? An analog allocation is 6 MHz. A digital allocation is 6 MHz. How is digital saving spectrum? As there are some broadcast types here, maybe someone can explain the technology used where X analog stations using 6 MHz each will be more efficient by the same number of stations using 6 MHz each. Is this that new math they are using? While a DTV signal uses the same bandwidth, several channels can be carried on one signal (I think they used to call this a channel bouquet, don't know if the term is still in use). So we will end up with the same amount of spectrum used for TV but with many more channels. Bob NO6B Yahoo! Groups Links

RE: [Repeater-Builder] The emails we get at repeater-builder....
I made some comments on this subject in another email, and they weren't aimed at anyone who falls in the baseball card license category, but towards those who won't take the time to do a little preliminary research before asking a question. My comments weren't even aimed specifically towards this group, but others, especially those that are for a specific model of radio. This group is comprised of (in my opinion) the greatest collection of talent and expertise that you'd find most anywhere, and a lot can be learned by just reading the messages. My knowledge of repeaters is very limited so I seldom post here, but I do read most of the messages. On other groups, I've seen many questions posed by people who have obviously never opened the manual. So, to avoid falling into the baseball card category, just: 1. Read the manual! 2. Search the message base! (hint: you can see 98% of all questions asked by going back only two to three weeks) 3. Use Google! Then if you still can't find the answer, by all means ask!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Switching a Repeater Betwen AC Sources
It would have to be a very large, very high capacity UPS, in order to handle the current the transmitters draw. This would be very expensive. Maybe you could install a battery bank with a good quality four stage charger to power the repeaters. When the power drops, since the repeaters are already running on batteries, the switchover would be seamless. Your IRLP computer could be powered with a 1500 watt or better UPS. This should allow sufficient runtime, plus the higher capacity should get you out of the cheapo consumer grade UPS category. As Eric suggests, you could plug the serial cable into the computer, and with the right software, the node could monitor the battery voltage when it is running on the UPS, then shut the computer down gracefully if the voltage drops too low.

Plug the repeater and equipment into the UPS and then plug the UPS into the receptacle of choice. Might be cheaper and easier to do this then to design, test, get permission from the hospital to install, install it and maintain it. I am sure that the hospital is going to want to make sure what you install is approved for such use. Some ups's provide a serial port for communication to a serial device, maybe you can access it remotely via packet to check status, logs and battery condition. Eric.

One is normal power, the other is the red Critical Power receptacle. What problems would anyone see if we would feed everything from the normal power circuit, and if it would ever trip off, switch to the red receptacle. That way, if lightning trips the normal circuit, we would instantly feed our equipment from the red receptacle. This sounds so simple, and I'm inclined to build such a setup, but am I missing something obvious that could cause problems? Any better ideas? Laryn K8TVZ

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Switching a Repeater Betwen AC Sources
You do have a point about the batteries. I did see that it was revealed in a later post that his main Skywarn (ARES? I forget which) repeater is a MastrII, which I don't think lends itself well to run on batteries. The reason I suggested that size UPS, was to move out of the junk consumer grade UPS' that I don't think should be in a repeater site. Besides, think of the runtime with a UPS a large as that!

I'm not taking it the wrong way, not to worry! Good idea on the soliciting of funds, but I'd be careful of any strings attached. That is a good idea about the monitoring software on the IRLP node.

Not trying be a smart a$$, so please don't take this comment that way, but what is the service worth to the community? SKYWARN, and up here in Canada CANWARN, are valuable services that can save lives. Property can be replaced, lives can't. Maybe there is some local, state or federal money that could be tapped into or maybe even some private money for that matter. Maybe suppliers would be willing to give the group a break on pricing or even provide it at a substantial savings to the group. I would go direct to the manufacturer. Couple of thoughts on monitoring power outage. - Some controllers have inputs that can be monitored and if a signal is sensed it sets off an alarm. But a walwart could be plugged into the main receptacle and connected to a controller input with some cleaned up DC of course. In the event of a power failure, the controller would no longer see the precense of the required voltage and notification could be provided, hopefully spoken if that option is available, and a designated person(s) could attend the site to check power. If you know your runtime on the UPS, you know what your response time needs to be. - I forgot that there was an IRLP computer at the site. In that case, some UPS monitoring software will run on a unix/linux platform, there is notification as well, as this software can advise you of outages, self test results etc, etc by email. I am thinking here of the APC line, we use them at our data centre for backup server power and in all of our LAN closets for backup switch stack power. I mentioned APC, I have nothing to do with APC, I have only used their products and have always been pleased with the results.

I removed the old, cleaned things up, replaced it with 33+ and placed aluminum foil tape over it to deflect the UV.

When it comes time to remove the whole collective seal the 33+ removes very nicely from the coax and the connectors.

Put a layer of good quality tape under it and you won't be spending hours getting the stuff out of the knurlings of the PL259 or type N connectors).

And I've tried similar setups many other laptops... The only operational quirk is that a few (mostly Motorola RSS/MSS) programs require you exit Windows 98se to MS Dos. And the really ancient programs would like you to slow the world (computer) down to a crawl using the Moslow program. Otherwise many/most of the original Dos Programs operate in Windows 98se using/within a Dos Window. What you probably need right now is... A copy of the original Windows 98 (install) boot disk that tests for and loads a number of on floppy disk available CD Rom Drivers. Rare is/was the case where the mentioned disk failed to boot a usable CD rom driver. The disk boot process delivers you to a prompt of install Windows from a CD or boot to a prompt with or without a CD Rom Driver in place. From that point your machine is now booted to a usable command prompt and depending on your selection with or without a CD Rom Driver. How you deal with loading a program from a CD Rom, Hard or floppy disk from the above mentioned command prompt is another whole thread (I don't have time to type in those steps). So you need to find/obtain a copy of the mentioned Windows 98se floppy disk (and there are at least two versions). Time to learn about the programs rawread (raw-read) and rawwrite (raw-write) which allow you to capture an restore exact floppy disk images. The original programs of course required you run them on/at a dos command prompt... so that might be a fly in your soup if you didn't have the new raw-write program for Windows (mentioned below). With a copy of a Windows 98se boot floppy disk image file you can restore/make your own boot disk and boot to the command prompt as directed above. Raw read and raw write are modestly powerful programs so warnings go out to casual users who don't tend to read directions. A quick search of the net found a windows version... Lucky you. Until I did the search today I had been working with the original dos only version... http://www.chrysoco http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite me.net/rawwrite So in theory... after learning about, finding and installing a raw write type program you can roll your own' (make) Windows 98se boot disk... you just need the disk file image from someone really nice.

Subject: California County Taking Actions To Silence ALL Ham Activity From: www radiobanter com San Luis Obispocounty supervisors took drastic and unprecedented action yesterday by passing an ordinance that would prohibit amateur radio operators, known as hams, from operating their transmitting stations. The measure was put in place to eliminate what officials said were health risks associated with transmitters located close to children. A legal struggle is expected. By a vote of 4 to 1 with one abstention, the governing board of SLO county took action aimed at addressing a recent Stanford University study that showed a correlation between ham radios and attention de ficit disorder and hyperactivity in children, as well as nagging reports of interference caused by radio hams operating their high-powered transmitters in residential neighborhoods. Our primary responsibility is to provide a safe environment for children to live without the dangerous effects of radio waves constantly bombarding them and causing proven neurological and psychological problems, said E. Duane Nyborg, an attorney who represented the county in several court cases in the past year. Hams are not the only culprits, but they are usually in very close proximity to children and are no doubt a major contributor to the health problems we've been seeing. The interference is just the last straw that convinced the county that something had to be done about it. Atascadero city manager Laura Lopez said that she has seen a tenfold increase in the number of complaints of interference from ham radio operators in the last six months. New housing developments which have dramatically increased the population there and placed homes unusually close to each other are the predominant contributing factor. Similar conditions exist in most of the county. We have radio hams getting into toasters, electric pianos, light bulbs, everything, from their powerful transmitters that cause all this static. Many of our citizens can't use basic appliances or watch television because of all the junk that the hams are broadcasting, she tol d the Press-Telegram by telephone. Hams can't say they didn't see this coming. They were warned by the county last year that if they did not submit to a check of their stations by officials, they would have limits imposed on their operation. Few consented to the searches, which most decried as invasive. But nobody expected a total ban on transmissions. This is outrageous. You'd better believe we're going to fight back and win. This is a totalitarian seizure of our rights that is totally illegal and can't stand up, said Frank Wilson, a local ham club president. He said there were no formal plans for an appeal yet but preparations were underway. Wilson claims that a federal preemption of local zoning ordinances, called PRB-1, delineates three rules for local municipalities to follow in accomodating antenna structures such as are used by hams. But Nyborg says that PRB-1 applies to antenna structures only, and not the transmitters used to feed the antennas with a radio signal. We know all about PRB-1. That's why we said nothing about antennas. This law is not about antennas. It goes after the root of the problem, which is the transmitters that put out huge signals that get into the brains of our children and short-circuit them out. Those are the facts, that's what the scientific evidence points to, he said at a news conference called shortly after the county's action. In 2008, a grou p of researchers in the school of Environmental Health and Safety at Stanford published their findings that exposure to ham radio signals for three hours per day increased the risk of hyperactivity and related disorders by 10% in children aged 12 and under. This effect was seen when a typical ham radio was turned on up to ¼ mile away. The San Luis Obispo city office says that up to 11,000 children in that city live that close to a ham radio station. The Stanford study showed that frequencies around 3.5, 7, and 14 Megahertz were the most harmful, but that the danger existed all the way up to 450 Megahertz and above. We know where the hams are, that information is easy to get

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MASTR II PTT
It would help if you would post a schematic showing how you are wiring it, and what is is you are wanting to do. When you said there is only 1/2 volt difference between on and off, it indicates that your transistor is wired incorrectly. Working from memory (and that is suspect!), you wouldn't need any resistors in the collector-emitter circuit, just a resistor in the base circuit for current limiting, and another from the base to the emitter for bias. Additionally, if you are switching a relay, you'd need a reverse biased diode across the relay coil (if there isn't one internally) to prevent damage to the transistor. I don't think you'd need a relay to switch PTT on a MastrII, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong. A typical repeater controller uses an open collector transistor to switch external devices, which is a fancy way of saying that the transistor acts like a switch, and can be used to switch PTT. When the transistor is turned on by the controller CPU, it simply pulls the PTT line to ground, thereby keying the transmitter. Without looking up the specs of a Com port, I couldn't say if it can be used for that, especially since I don't know which control signal you are using. Someone else mentioned using the printer port and it seems to me that it would be ideal for your application.

It seems to me that repeater coodination in the Amateur band is more of a courtesy than anything else.

[Repeater-Builder] RE: follow up on lightening strike last spring
I know its been a long time since I first posed the question on what might be causing the noise we were experiencing after being hit by lightening. After many trips to the Technical shop for testing, we replaced the repeater ( was a vertex 5000, now a Icom ur2000) and are in process of checking out controllers. The duplexers were my big worry. And yes, it would seem that concern wasn't unfounded. We started experiencing a degradation on the receive side of the repeater and then, a leakage from the cans. We had the duplexers checked out with two different service monitors and found nothing! The technician who works on duplexers took ours apart and found only a little bit of carbon, but that was it. they checked out ok. We put them back into service and the noise was there making communications impossible. We are now going to replace them with a 6 configuration instead of the four we have been using. My question to the list is, besides the noise factor and crackling noise, is there any other methode of discovering if the can's are bad or not? Yes, I did and have been losing sleep over this one. I also wish to thank Kevin and the group for all their feedback on my question I put in last summer. You helped more than you know. Rich Ranta K8JX www.w8usa.org
[Repeater-Builder] RE: follow up on lightening strike last spring response
Sorry if I've been late in posting. First, the antenna and hard line is ok. We've tested that part out and its working. We think ( I ) that we got zapped through a unused phone line which is mounted behind the repeater rack. Yes, we have tested the can's using both a IRL (?sp) and a General Dynamics service monitor. They were taken apart and cleaned and retuned. Everything indicated they were functioning normally. Till we put them back in service. I don't know if they were tested with a dummy load. The technicians made many trips to the site: the technicians worked for the company that we rent the site from. We replaced all of the connectors and only found one that had scorched indications on it, but that was all. I asked if any of you knew how to find out if a can was operational, because all the test equipment that was used indicated they were ok. We finally found a workable solution. We added a fifth can, tuned to the transmit freq. That stoped the crackling noise. Now we're going to replace the can's, and go with a 6 can configuration. this is what was reconmended by the technician. Rich K8JX www.w8usa.org

Amateurs are secondary users for 420-450MHz, with military and radio location being primary. A few years ago our ACMA introduced Low Interference Potential Devices license class (any modulation, for any purpose, 25 mW maximum, no license required). Allegedly this was to allow luxury cars to be imported without modifying their electronic door and security keys. Not surprisingly there are a few luxury cars still parked near amateur repeaters that can't be unlocked :-) Due to poorly written legislation, a whole lot of other devices have now flooded the market, including continuously transmitting data modules, and all cause a lot of trouble to amateur operators and repeaters. The bottom end of the band 420-430MHz of the amateur band has also been eroded by government digital radio networks (because it's cheaper to import equipment from overseas that's already in that band). Amateurs in parts of the country are no longer allowed to use that part of the band. I hope the FCC doesn't follow suit although it sounds like they already are!

I simply drilled and tapped two 4-40 holes on a flat portion of the outside fin, and mounted the thermal switch after applying some heat-conductive paste. I used a three-inch low-EMI Panasonic fan blowing right on the fins. This is a 45-watt repeater set for about 30 watts output. It went into service early in 2003, and has been trouble-free ever since.

However, using it for fan control is not only expensive, but unnecessary. A fan blowing on a transmitter heat sink does absolutely nothing immediately after the transmitter is keyed, since the heat sink is likely at ambient temperature. It takes a period of time for the heat sink to warm up, so operating the fan prematurely is a waste of energy- which may be an issue for a solar-powered repeater. IMHO, the most efficient means of fan control is also the cheapest: A thermal switch. My first choice is a Cantherm #R2005015 normally-open thermostat that closes at 50 degrees Celsius, about 122 degrees Fahrenheit. When attached to a heat-sink fin, it turns the fan on when necessary, and keeps it on until the heat sink cools below about 100 degrees F- around body temperature. This particular switch is available from Digi-Key for about $9, as Catalog Number 317-1094-ND. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@ mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com [mailto:Repeater-Builder@ mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of na4it Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2010 9:38 AM To: Repeater-Builder@ mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Neat kit for switching repeater devices I have started using this little kit (http://www.electron http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm ickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm http://www.electron http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm ickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm http://www.electron http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm ickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm http://www.electron http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm ickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1614.htm ) for fan control on repeaters.

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. The procedure puts it into normal condition. Nothing further to do. For a conventional MSF5000 (NON-trunking) that is, a radio always without the RF sensor installed, the values 00 and FF are what is loaded at factory; e.g. normal. The problem usually happens when someone replaces a CLB SCB(analog) board with CXB SSCB that came from a 800 trunking radio. It will contain the setpoint values from its previous home.

Forget those cheap mobile style duplexers and go with a commercial built one. Also add a commercial community tone board with DCS to keep things orderly. It was worth the cost.

Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hustler G6-440
The application of the system was the following. I was using two at he same time via filter and power divider. It was approx. 35 watts at the antenna feed point. The G6 that failed was on the west side of the building which faced the water inlet to NYC. That side of the building got hit with high winds. It always failed in the winter. So possibly heavy winds, ice build and or rain made it fail. I took the antenna home cleaned it up checked the connections and everything seem norm. But I still had a very high SWR. I never investigated further. I didn't want to take a chance to have my exciter or pa fail so I ordered PD400-2. ,No more problems. Thank GOD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/9/05 1:32:57 PM Richard, Did you ever determine what the failure mode of the antennas was? Was it due to high power (50W), or damage in a rough environment? This would be interesting as I have a couple of low level repeaters with G6-440's in a temperate climates which have not degraded in performance. I wouldn't want to use a G6-440 in an environment which sees any ice and wind, they are too frail for that environment.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hooking up the main receiver in a voting system
Mathew, we are completing the same project for my UHF system as well. Your main should be port 1 on the RVS-8 and the voting rec at the main site should go to port 2 and port 3 depending on how many aux rec sites you have. The output of the RVS-8 controller will go your main controller. My partner is matching the audio levels of a Micor rec with 3 spectra radios. So far its pretty close match. I ll advise next week when I put the system in service. I hope I understood your question and I answered it proper. 73 Rich/N2ROW [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/10/05 7:25:54 AM I'm getting ready to hook up and RVS-8 Voter system to the repeater, and am having an issue with the main receiver. Here's what's going to happen. THe main receiver is a Master II ER41. I am going to use Kenwood TM-V7's for the remote receiver's, but I am unclear as how to get the main receiver hooked up, as it will have a different audio response than the Kenwood's. I've not begun to hook it up as of yet, but in my mind I am just not able to put it together for some reason, but then I don't always get to think as clear as I want to. I'm just at a lost on this one. Anyone have any expierience with hooking one up. I know how to interface the rest of the voter system, just not sure about that main receiver. Thanks. Mathew Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 7K controller
I use my 7k with two full repeaters linked The Ids work fine evert 10 m they go off one at a time. As far as the the Time out timer for repeater 2 use what ever comers with your Tx. Rich N2ROW [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/18/05 6:46:54 PM The problem is that there is one timeout timer, one carrier delay (hang-in) timer, one identifier, and one you get the idea. Yes, you can connect two repeaters to it, and they will repeat, but it's really obvious that the 7K wasn't designed for the job. I'd keep it and get a second, put one 7K on each repeater, and cable the two port #2s together allowing them to link to each other at will. Been there, done that. Or get a true multiport controller.

Thanks Juan XE2SI Unfortunately no. The 7K was designed as a single repeater controller with an autopatch, a link (the second radio port), and a control receiver/aux audio source. Like the 6K and the 5K it was only intended to manage a single repeater. A new model is in the works (tentatively called the 7330) - it will be a true three port repeater controller, with three touchtone decoders, three telemetry generators (i.e courtesy beeps, etc), full crosspoint switching, and the design is expandable to more ports. Each port can be configured to be a repeater (i.e. full duplex with audio loopback), a point-to-point link (full or half duplex with no audio loopback), a remote base (half duplex, no loopback, and possibly frequency agility), or a control receiver.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: midland 13-509 220mhz to convert to repeater
I have a spectrum 220 rec. It worked well in a site by it self. But once I transferred it to the main site ful of wonderful pager Tx and other com repeaters in the same site. Forgetaboutit. Regardless of how much filtering. So we went to a Micor Rec. Problem solved. Rich/N2ROW [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/29/05 11:58:18 AM Although the Clegg and Midland 13-509 radio mod to repeater convertion works ok, the receiver is fairly marginal for most busy repeater applications. You'd do much better to buy a receiver designed for actual repeater operation. I like the preformance and output functions of the Spectrum 220MHz (and 145/440 bands) Receiver, but they appear to be a dys-functional business. If you could get a receiver from Spectrum without being taken for a Mr Toads Wild Ride (Disney Land theme park ride), I'd say their equipment is worth at least looking at. I bought and enjoy the operation of a new Maggiore 220 receiver, which also works pretty well. They also come high on the list of good 220 MHz receivers. cheers, skipp www.radiowrench.com/sonic Jim B.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Looking for data on old heliax
Hey Jeff- Just last year I had a similar problem. The first thing we did was look through the old engineering data for the site. In most cases, the sample lines should all be the same length, so if you shoot the lines to the other tower(s) with the TDR you can compute your own VF for the coax. We did not have this data, and in my case, the coax to the other two towers proved to be not the same length, so, time to punt. What I decided to do was shoot the bad line with a TDR from both ends. Distance was about 200' from the shack and 75' from the tower. We could ascertain the approximate path underground for the coax, se we measured out from both ends, and then had a gap of about 5 feet. We started digging at the measured end from the tower, and found the break within 1 foot from that point. It worked out pretty easy after measuring from both ends. We ended up with an open in the coax. Hope this helps, good luck. Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a splice for this stuff! Try Gilbert Engineering, they do tons of CATV stuff, and may have something. I loaned out my catalog so can't look. They do have internet presence though. 73- Richard Richard E.
