I have an Astron RM-35M that runs for a few hours and
then crowbars.
Someone tell me more about this upgraded circuit by Skipp.

Has anybody built a repeater using two gm300's with the connector
cable like the ones prolific on ebay. If so what did you do for a
controller, id'er etc.

Thanks to all who helped out with the info. It turns out that the 723
regulator was all the supply needed. Everything is working fine now.
Thanks

Anyone have any dealings with your local power company about getting a
non-commercial rate at a commercially owned tower site? I might be
dreaming, but I figured I would ask. I know that hams are able to get
non-commercial telephone rates at commercial sites, but not sure the
best way to
Two Motorola desk-top Consolete stations with the Mitrek radio
chassis. These are in very good condition.

This would make a nice repeater.
Lots of other two-way radio equipment.

Boy, I wish it were that easy here. The power utility where my primary
repeaters are located is an investor-owned one and they require every
customer to purchase and install their own meter socket, regardless of
service classification.
They have no commercial rate, but rather a non-residential

I'm use to working with tighter resolutions in mapping than ten foot. The maps
I saw in the demo pages were verry grainey not much details. 100 mile
resolutions are verry gross n grainy. How can one see contures at 100m? or
30miles?
Can the program use DRGs for

Good luck to Steaven W4YI with respect to electricity
rates. I have not been successful in obtaining
"non-commercial" power rates for an amateur repeater on a commercial
site.

The method of connecting the two radios via a cable does works, although
it is not 100% reliable (especially if configured to allow either radio
to tx/rx, such as in cross band). I would recommend that you get
yourself a simple controller such as RLC-1 (link-comm), RC-1000 (Micro

Hello Mike,
Thanks for the info. I will give the press release a look over, it
may very well help me out. The site I am at is vacant. There has not
been anyone there for several years. The tower company has donated the
tower space as long as I help maintain the site (cut grass and
Allow me to elaborate.
I have an RM-35M. It has been in continuous repeater service for
more than 10 years without a hiccup.
Recently our hosts did some electrical work in the building. They
installed new elevator motors and emergency power. We are now
connected to the emergency power
Noncommercial rates at a commercial site is pretty tough. I have tried a
couple times and could not even get to first base. Providing a free public
service? Thats nice. Your at a commercial site? You pay commercial
rates.period, end of story. Hope your success is better than mine.

I have heard of one of the local ham clubs here getting a Barn rate.

What's the difference in rates, and the savings per month? If it is
significant, put in few solar panels and ignore the power company.

I used the Repeater Maker RM-1 from Midian Electronics, (about the size of a keypad) to connect two M100's together via the 16 pin connector to make a repeater. Has two ID messages, audio level adjust, timer, adjustable hang time and remote control built in. ($130) www.midelec.com) Program both
You will need to go to the power co. armed with your copy of part 97. They
will want to see the part and copy it on non commercial use of Ham radio. It has
worked for us on the Metro-Comm repeaters in NY, PA, NJ and NC.
Do not go after residential rates you don't live there but they do
A little off topic... Has anyone interfaced a TNC to a Motorola MSR2000 for
use as an APRS Node? If anyone has, please email me off the list. I would
like to know if there is anything to look for, problems to expect, hook up
info, etc.

Russ,
What electric utility serves your New York
repeaters that gives you a "residential" rate?

Hello there,
The LM-723 regulator is often placed in
under engineered circuits. There are on-board
internal amplifier loops, which are
susceptible to RFI and high frequency glitches
- noise. Proper LM-723 pre-regulation is another
common circuit shortfall. The end result is
often seen as
No it give a non commercial rate.
It is just about the same as the residential rate. Much better then what
they wanted to charge.
Good luck,

I am at site right along side the big boys repeaters but you must have your
own meter. I.E. not one meter for the site.
I have not had this fail yet.
