Re: [Repeater-Builder] Remote Receiver site

GE MVPs are the best answer I've found hands down. Swap a VHF RX in a UHF frame. You can use a MastrII or ExecII for the TX site and it's all very neat. Even cooler - MastrII RX and TX's convert to 220 pretty easily. While the conversion is not for the faint of heart, 220 links are cool. On 1

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Remote Receiver

I like the GM300 16 channel the best. Some of the other Radius and Motorola radios that look the same have a 5 pin accessory connector with less flexibility. Likewise the 16 channel GM300 has more programability on the 16 pin accessory connector than the 8 channel. Now, the 8 channel is a l

Thanks to you all for good advice. The project is to have a VHF receiver (remote receiver), a UHF link transmitter, a UHF link receiver (at the base repeater site), and probably a voter. All of this is in ham bands. I am getting the idea that good choices for the radios would be MaxTrac, Radius, or

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Remote Receiver

One voter-based network I used to use back in Tennessee used a low-volume CW ID at the beginning of a transmission for the remote TX stations. I believe this would satisfy the FCC ID needs. YMMV, IANAL, and all that stuff. -Brian / KF4ZWZ On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 10:45 AM, John Transue wrote:

John, Tom is right, and this is a quick and easy way to add a single-site remote RX. But like he said, your users will need to be aware of where they are (physically) in the repeater coverage in order to access the "proper" receiver. I do know of some systems that don't use a voter - the remote

John, I've just started this. I have one remote package out now, and another on the way. I'm using Motorola R1225 and GM300 radios for everything. I'm in the 70cm band, so I use the R1225 as a main repeater exciter and receiver, and the R1225 as a remote receiver/link transmitter. The lin

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Remote Receiver

John, I'll suggest that your link gear and receivers should all be the same make, model , etc., so the audio being retransmitted is the same. This way, voting becomes "transparent" to your users. I am in the process of doing the same thing (with a main and two remote sites) and I'm using

I agree with Phil, use the PL decoder at the voter.  Your remote receiver set-up *should* have enough audio bandwidth to properly pass the PL tone from the users set into the linkback receiver.  Doing it this way allows for local control of the PL decoders which means you can select which rec
