[Repeater-Builder] midland low band

hi all just came across a pallet of midland lowband radios model no. 70- 050c. i am told they will tune to 6 meters but has anyone used them to make a repeater? if so is it worth while to use these radios? pat Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to

RE: [Repeater-Builder] midland low band

The 70-050C will cover 6 meters with reprogramming & retuning. They should be an 80 channel 50 watt radio, and you can make a repeater out of them, you will need one for transmit and one for receive. The first thing to check is to make sure that they have the memory module and the CTCSS board in

Well, Didn't realize that the power could be turned down by software. I do have access to the software so that will not be a problem. Thanks again to all... Steaven, W4YI Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/

You would have to approach the following subject carefully, but it may help you out. If the tower is not in use,  AND there has been no source of electrical service to the tower, some municipalities consider the tower as abandoned.  If you have a very good relationship with the tower company you

I work for a wireless company, sometimes rooftop sites near elevators and other motor operated devices can cause tremendous voltage spikes on the power line.  Your easiest fix would be to put a UPS that does line conditioning on the Astron power supply.  This should smooth out any AC glitches th

Re: [Repeater-Builder] KENWOOD TKR-850 UHF REPEATER Can it be tuned and Programed in the Ham Band

Yes! It is right in the software. You will want to touch up the receiver just a bit. But it will work just fine with just the software. 73 Russ, W3CH - Original Message - From: "aj4ef" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004 7:44 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] KENWOOD

Re: [Repeater-Builder] KENWOOD TKR-850 UHF REPEATER Can it be tuned and Programed in the Ham Band

The answer is "probably." The fact that others have tuned a TKR-850 to the 70cm band is not an absolute guarantee that your unit will do the same. It may work fine, or it may barely make it. The TKR-750 and -850 repeaters have manually-tuned bandpass filters in the front end that must be optimiz

Ken, It's good to know that Kenwood now offers a TKR-850 repeater that is specified for operation down to 440 MHz. The last one I worked on was specified, in black and white, for 450-470 MHz. Its performance out of the box was mediocre on 70cm, and it required careful retuning to work in the 440

No, Kevin. I'm not pissed because this isn't a priority for either Mike or you. I'm pissed because Mike solicited a document from me, and since the time I sent it to him, I've seen NOTHING else from him. (I even e-mailed him a week later to see if he received it OK...) No mention of when to ex

Let me trow my two cents:   Normally the TKR-850 came from factory programed and tunned in the 460 Mhz. range, so if you want to operate in the amateur freq's; is very important to retune the front end to bring into specs. Juan  - Mensaje original - De: Ken Arck Para: Repea
