You are likley to find that a 50 watt repeater transmitting on the same roof as any other VHF radios (in the same command vehicle) will desense the other radios.   I would recommend you consider something in the 20 watt or less range.   This is a case where less is better, especially since you ar

The supply Joe is looking for likely is the TPN1106A (110V) or TPN 1105A (110V or 240V). These are known as options C28 and C38 respectively. Also could have the option C29 low voltage disconnect & alarm. These are very good supplies. I have not seen a bad one. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but

You may need to reevaluate what you are trying to do here... Just in very rough figures, for a one mhz split at 150 mhz, you will want about 85 dB of isolation between your two frequencies.( just as a starting point) That would be around a thousand feet of horizontal separation of antennas,

Keep in mind that the single channel radios (like the M-10) are not that common. Just use any GM300 / Maxtrac / Radius model and only program one channel. Also, while it is nice to get the 16 pin accessory board, they cost a bit more for the convieience. Doing the modification to the 5 pin

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How much drive power for Micor HD PA ??

2008-05-21 Thread Steve Kometz
Not sure what you mean by 12? watt PA. But in any case the Micor VHF hi exciters are supposed to be 400 milliwatts out. So, if you want to drive any of the Micor PA'S with 350 mw, it should be fine. In my experience, nearly always you can get the rated output with 250 mw drive. Keep in m

You can "cheat" and run off one of the 12 v batteries. But the better way is to use something like the Astron 2412 DC to DC converters. I used several of them in the past running 12 v radios in 24 v helicopters. Like a lot of Astron stuff, they worked very well. I think the 9 amp version s
