Actually, they will have to replace all the mikes with TT mikes. Given the cost of the new mikes and special equipment at the electric gates, etc, it would be a lot cheaper to go with the garage door opener style system. Maybe I'll work up an estimate of what they might spent for both systems

Joe, Doing it on the repeater or base freq would allow other users to open the gate if one did not have the code. I like the garage door approach, but having longer range has it advantages and of course disadvantages. I should ask, do the users now have DTMF mikes. These are not cheap, but

Not sure about the radios, but this echoes what we found in Dayton last weekend. We were running U82's all weekend, And Saturday myself and N0EUH were back at the hotel just up the street from Smokey Bones and right next to I75 One of our crew called us on low power simplex, and it sounded like he

Are there plans on the web for using garage door systems to operate gates? Remember, the gate may have to be modified to work with the garage door opener. One can find similar systems at Home Improvement centers in the $500 - $1,000 range, depending upon the gate style. From a security

Hi Joe, If they swapped there radios for the Kenwood radios using Fleet Sync that would enable what your trying to do or just get a DTMF decoder and a radio at the garage door location and that would do as well. Mike -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com

That's the nature of narrowband AND digital audio combined. The digital audio is akin to audio noise reduction (like Dolby NR) in that the path noise is virtually eliminated making it much easier to hear the transmitted audio. Of course if the signal strength suffers so much that the receiving end

Here's an easy idea that is currently in use. A police department wanted a way to open a garage door from the cruiser, other than calling the station and having them push a button. Solution was to take an old radio (Maxtrac in thsis case) laying around, install it into a metal box, bring out

Hi Gang, I have a new Motorola project. It's to convert a UHF PURC to amateur repeater. The transmitter is wireline controlled and has no receiver. The machine has a 250W? PA and had the 3CX400A7 replaced on 2002. It has had very little use and came with a spare Eimac tube. I haven't checked

The simplest method is to use a weatherproof door opener receiver and regular door opener transmitters to open a gate. There are 10 dip switches in the transmitter so you can come up with a very secure code. Then issue a door opener TX to each person requiring site access. It's Understood that

I like the key click idea - get an older CES phone patch with 5 key click dialing - when the line goes off hook (on a local battery circuit with a relay in series) let the loop current call in a relay to activate the door opener - no security but kinda neat and it could time out after so many
