Thanks to all those who responded to my original request. I'm looking for more data, specifically for the ICOM series of radios. I only have access to the user manual, and they speak of the OPC-617 cable, but they don't actually specifically call out the signal that one would need.
I'm
Hello Jim!
The Lancaster Amateur Radio Club -and myself are using these radios in repeater service
and they have been fantastic! We are using them for not only the exciter, but for our
receivers as well.I purchased all the equiptment from a company called Epcomm Communication down in
I have a brand new TPL 100 watt continuous duty RXR series 220 amp
available. I think it was around $850 or $900 new. I'd trade for a UHF amp
of comparable quality and condition, 100 watts or more. I think I have a
4-cavity Wacom duplexer for 220 in storage too but I'd have to go digging to

Has anyone ran into RF being induced in the antenna of
a tower enough to cause a shock ?
The setup is a tower 100 feet tall. On top is a
Station master cut for the two meter band. There are
a couple of smaller antennas on the tower. About 25
feet away is a 150 foot tower. On it are several
Ralph,
Yes a tower can soak-up energy and bite you... most often this occurs in
medium-wave. And it is a RF-burn rather than a shock. I sometime conduct
RFR exposure studys for broadcast facilitys.. and occasionally we find
things that are hot enough to burn you... but not often above 30 MHz
Another ham buddy and I watched as an unconnected PL-259 was arcing between
the center pin and the shell. The coax was connected to a CB antenna on the
roof. The charge was being generated by the wind. If we hadn't seen it, we
wouldn'y have believed it. We didn't touch the connector to see how

Yep, my little brother and I were stacking steel in Austin, TX one summer
when the wind got up. The tower was grounded... but the guy-wire he was
tensioning wasn't, it was insulated on both ends and knocked him about 10
foot when he reached up and grabbed the come-along... OUCH!!

Jay's letting us have the pair. His machine is offline and it is my baby now. I would not even think of being like some AH's and putting up a machine on a active pair.

I am attempting to hook echolink into the repeater system. I have the
main repeater setup, then I hooked in the RLb-1000 board for an
additional three ports. I tied all the audio lines and tx lines
together, but am not able to get it to key up the repeater. If anyone
can assist with this,
The signal does go away if the antenna is disconnected, but can still be heard at the repeater site. I'm going to work with it today and see if I can see anything, then travel away from the repeater and see just how far it actually goes. I just picked up the repeater, plans are to exchage it
I will put all the shields back on the repeater today and see if that helps. I did not realize this would cause such a ruckess with them off. I don't have any manuals on the repeater, so I am working blindfolded here on this one. Thanks.

It may be a bit premature to label the repeater as illegal if all you
have to go on is rumor. I am assuming that we're talking about Amateur
Radio frequencies, not commercial. Did your local frequency coordinator
assign you the frequency you want to use, not knowing that a repeater was
already
Well, if the repeater is up and abandoned why not use it? And if the owner
does show up offer to help with the upkeep. That is if we are talking about
an amateur repeater.
One of two things will happen, You will find out it is not abandoned, In
which case maybe just support that repeater and it
plese ignore earlier message,we were looking at the wrong frequency.

Are you using the vox setup of the echolink box? I'm thinking it may be a cor problem. When you say mic input, you mean on the VXR9000 mic input, riding along with the repeater audio from the cat controller.
