[Repeater-Builder] DOSBox to Program Radios

2010-08-09 Thread Tim - WD6AWP
DOSBox (www.dosbox.com) is an x86 emulator with DOS. It works great for programming those radios that need old, slow PCs for the software. I use it on my MacBook dual booting into Windows 7 and using an IO Gear USB serial dongle on COM1. So far I've programmed a couple of Radius M1225's and a VX

Those CDM radios are a bit pricy at $550 each. But I appreciate the suggestion. And you've given me some ideas. I still like the idea of building an out of band repeater for the remote receive site from a Micor chassis. I would need a 406-420 exciter, bandpass filter and trippler. If anybody o

Thanks Jeff, I'll keep looking around for those low split UHF Micor receivers. What about the transmit side? Maybe I should look for a unified chassis low split UHF repeater. Swap out the UHF receiver for a VHF high band receiver and use that for my remote receiver site. Then use the low split

I'm going to start working on building a link for a remote receiver. I already have a voter and I'll be using a VHF Micor receiver strip for the remote. A couple of mobiles that tune down to 420 might be good as I don't have a lot room. I'm thinking the link transmitter will be keyed 7x24 with
