Re: [Repeater-Builder] Baby Monitor Picks UP NASA Video

It was probably somebody with a video sender unit hooked to their satellite receviver so they could watch it in another room without moving the receiver. They use the same frequencies as baby monitors. This was on shortnews.com and I posted the same info there. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I

Biggest problem I can see is security. Anyone can receive the frequency and the tones. Simple to program a ham radio to the same freq and tone. Anybody with any radio experience will be able to open the gate(s). Might as well just leave the gates open. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello to All

I'm sorry. I should have been more clear on my first post. This repeater was being built for GMRS NOT FRS. The FRS radio I was using has a trim cap on the crystal for the PLL allowing it to be tuned to the GMRS frequencies. This radio is for receive only. The PTT button has been removed. It has als

Ooops. Re-read the rules. It's 15 watts for a fixed station as long as it's not within 50 miles of Canada. --- "Jim B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Paul M Schmitter wrote: > > I'm actually working on improving my poor man's > > repeater ri

Running it on GMRS. The way I read the rules, a GMRS repeater can be 50 watts. The frequency of a FRS radio can be adjusted slightly to fall into the GMRS frequecies and since it's only for receive there is no type acceptance issue. --- "Jim B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote

I'm actually working on improving my poor man's repeater right now. Basically here's what I've been using during tests: Vertex FTL-7011 as transmitter Advanced research preamp Radio Shack FRS Cat # 21-1811 retuned as receiver(not very selective) Controller is homemade. Found COR from FRS and fed t
