Re: [Repeater-Builder] IFR Monitor Repair Charges

John, I don't know. I believe the calibration fees are pretty uniform, but the repair figures I quoted were based on the IFR-1200S. In my one personal experience, IFR fixed three separate problems for $700. The problems I reported were a periodic unlocking of the synthesizer and a regular

Oh Really? If you ASSUME (and you know how I mean that word) that each TX HAS to have 20 kHz of bandwidth, I guess so, but that's not necessary. Only if you have 5 kHz deviation and a 5 kHz of frequency response (or some equivalent combination) will that be true. Most radios, including ham

This is the reason I suggest just adding a helical to the front end of the regency, they really don't have evidence of a grat overlap or overload unless a user has a really wide signal which sounds like it may be the case. In the beginning I was under the assumption it was the output making spurs

I would agree on the regency being wide as an elephant, but not my Kenwood TS-2000, on a horizontal antenna, getting the user 15 Khz away. That is why I believe it's his transmitter, and the other excessive power. I had another ham 7 miles away transmit on 146.310 with 10 watts and he never

Without directly commenting on the source(s) of problems here, it should be clear that the front end is not the problem. Its the back end, in other words, the low IF, where most of the narrowest filtering occurs. The helical front end is as broad as a barn by comparison, even in the finest

In fact, you'll actually be exceeding limits because that +/-5 Khz is TOTAL deviation-including CTCSS/DCS/whatever! And since the spec for CTCSS/DCS is +/-500 to 800 hz, and the spec for LTR signalling is +/-1Khz, voice deviation cannot exceed +/-4.5 Khz (4Khz for LTR). And the equipment is
