Use a separate ID'r like the http://www.hamgadgets.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=64 hamgadets ID'r.  I used it for link and ID on main repeater.  Like you said, if you set it up to ID without tone, your all set.  The IDer has a "busy" ID delay that you can delay the ID until QS

well due to the elements of being outside, I might suggest something more stable like a 8 bay folded di-pole or mount the antenna just below the top so that if you put yet another station master up there, you brace the bottom and the top so that it does not "move" nearly as much.  Sounds like yo

you would want to put the mic on the tx side so that everyone else can hear you talk on the output. If you put the mic on the rx side, you would be talking to the input were no one else would be able to hear you. David From: Peter Dakota Summerhawk <[EMAIL PRO

Thinking of that, I have also seen mobile duplexers on ebay going for $50.00 sometimes, and even at 15 watts out, and a cheezey 4 can mobile notch filter would do you much better than trying the 2 antenna deal. Good luck and more importantly, HAVE FUN. From:

Well Depending on how much power you will be using, you are looking to need at least 120' of direct vertical separation between the antennas which the RX antenna needs to be on the top and the tx on the bottom, and even then, your still talking about 65 dB of isolation in the best of conditions

I would think that at the least you would want to build a small building, even something close to a large dog house, 3'D X 4'W x 4'H.  Leaves at least a little room to breath and work around, heat may be a factor depending on the cans you use and may send them a bit out of tune from the hot/humi
