[Repeater-Builder] vertical antenna isolation

2005-01-12 Thread ad5oj




I am building a 2m amateur repeater with out a duplexer and am using 
vertical seperation instead.  I have two 2m Handheld radios placed 
with seperate antennas on a tower instead of placing them at the 
bottom of the tower.  I am having trouble with distorted audio 
coming out of the transmitter when it is set up this way.  I have 
about 5 wavelengths between the transmiter and receiver.  I was 
wondering if I am overlooking somthing or if anyone has experence in 
this area.

[Repeater-Builder] CTCSS tone timing question

2005-01-12 Thread Eric Lemmon


If the radio manufacturer claims to meet the requirements of
EIA/TIA-603B, an international standard for land-mobile radios, then the
radio MUST decode a standard CTCSS tone of 100 Hz or above in less than
250 ms.  If the tone is lower than 100 Hz, then the maximum decode time
in milliseconds is given by dividing 25,000 by the tone frequency in
Hz.  Thus, a 67 Hz CTCSS tone must be decoded within 373 ms.  This
decode time is based upon a standard CTCSS deviation of 500 Hz.  Most
modern radios are capable of decoding a proper CTCSS tone far more
quickly than the standard requires.

About 100 feet of antenna seperation, are you using
atleast double shielded coax like lmr-400 or beter
(hopefully hardline), are the two radios in shielded
boxes and the power/audio lines bypassed to ground.

If you'd be willing to share your notes and interfacing
information it will save me having to reinvent that part
of the wheel.

If the mod is as easy as I think it is I will do up a web
page for repeater-builder.

And in my location the external RX isn't needed, but I
am going to try and develop that part of the mod anyway,
simple because it will be of help to others that don't have
the best signal.
The local NWS TX here is 250w (into a 10db stick), and
it's on Mount Wilson at 5000 feet.  I've got line of sight to
the TX... I can see the antenna with a decent pair of field
glasses - it's at a 30-40 degree angle of elevation about
8-9 miles away...

I'm going to be making up some jumpers for test leads and repeater

folks have had best results with: crimp style or clamp style connectors.
What is more appropriate for this type of cable?  Is one style more reliable

Hello,

I have to agree, back in the days of Quintron they spent a lot of money
trying to figure out which one was best.  They found the crimp-on connectors
were more dependable as we as making better connection.  Them made sure
because some of their transmitter ran 500 watts and their 900 MHz stations
ran 300.

[Repeater-Builder] I let the smoke out!

2005-01-12 Thread kd4gpi



Hi All,

I let the smoke out of a Micronta (Radio Shack) Range Doubler 
multimeter model 260X2. It's a bad thing when you are set to measure 
resistance and put 120VAC across the meter. It split one resistor in 
half in the R X 1 position. Its value was labeled not color-coded. I 
can no longer read it. Does anyone have one of these meters? I need 
help identifying the value.

Thanks,

that it was on Pleasants Peak, between Sierra  Santiago Peak.

FW: [Repeater-Builder] connectors

Man,

Did I blow the common sense test on my last post!  Sorry!  Have corrected it
below.

Hello,

I have to agree, back in the days of Quintron they spent a lot of money
trying to figure out which one was best.  They found the crimp-on connectors
were more dependable as well as making better connections.  They made sure
because some of their transmitters ran 500 watts and their 900 MHz stations
ran 300, if it's gonna leak 900 is the one it would affect the most.

I dissagree...crimp on connnectors (of course you solder the center pin) are
probably the best and most replicable connections made.  We did a lot of
government/military work over the years and it was required to use crimp
type connectors on flexible cables.  They determined that it was easier to
inspect and was more reliably done.  When you have someone using
clamp/solder connectors, everyone is different.

I just picked up one of the radio shack receiver (12-251). If someone has a

 The local Radio Shacks here in the San Gabriel Valley

 SAME WeatherRadio, stock number 12-251.  This is the

 On first inspection I think I can come up with a mod to
 insert audio from an outside, more robust receiver (i.e.
 a Micor or a Mastr II) by installing a SPDT switch that
 connects the decoder audio input to either the local RX
 or an outside RX.  I think I can extract the Watch and

 gotten far enough inside to tell, but I think I can mount
 a DB9 to the case and run all the interfacing through that

[Repeater-Builder] simple tone decoder

2005-01-12 Thread Randy Elliott


Greeting to the group

I need to decode a single frequency (1050 hz) and output a logic level 
+ or - doesn't matter. I know this sounds really simple but I guess I'm 
stupid today.
I've tried an ne567 PLL and can't even get it to work. (could be bad 
chip though, just dug it out of my junk box)
Anyone have any circuits floating around in your archives that could do 
what I'm looking for?

Just pick up an older NOAA alert receiver for a few bucks. They have a
1050 Hz tone decoder circuit built in. It's probably cheaper than making
a decoder yourself.

As for the crimp or clamp style connector. If you look at many combining system you will notice that 95% of them use the CLAMP style connector. There must be a reason that MOST of the engineers for the companies prefer CLAMP over CRIMP. hmmm there must be a reason. I know that out of all the site we have here in the North West we use nothing but CLAMP.

[Repeater-Builder] Looking UHF receiver transmitter

2005-01-12 Thread KC4QLP




I'm looking for a UHF transmitter and receiver to setup a link system 
here. The transmitter doesnt have to be high power as I already have 
a PA tuned for 70cm.Receiver doesnt need to be elaborate as it is 
only going to serve as a link receiver.

Cant spend much more than the cost of shipping..if it isnt an outrageous cost.

Will be looking to hopefully get something going by the end of the 
month.

 I use both types of connectors in the field routinely.  A good quality
 (i.e. silver plated) RF connector on good quality coaxial cable
 installed with the proper tools by a knowledgeable installer can yield a
 very good quality fitting.  Clearly there are millions of them out there
 in commercial/industrial/military applications.

 Likewise a solder compression type fitting done correctly can yield a
 good quality fitting as well.  Though it doesn't seem to take much
 twisting on the coax at the connector to break the braid loose of the
 compression point.

 I've had very few crimp on connectors fail on me I guess, I've had far
 more compression N connectors pull off the end of coax.

He didn't say it was for a weather alert. Maybe he has another

  Just pick up an older NOAA alert receiver for a few bucks. They have a
  1050 Hz tone decoder circuit built in. It's probably cheaper than making
  a decoder yourself.

Bad business?  The paging industry went away, totally!  That's why GLENAYRE
went away.  Quintron went away because Glenayre bought them.

  Ever wonder what Quintron is no longer around?

 *chuckles* I really haven't wondered about it.  However, your implied
 logic that they aren't around because they used crimp on RF connectors
 is quite flawed.

 I use both types of connectors in the field routinely.  A good quality
 (i.e. silver plated) RF connector on good quality coaxial cable
 installed with the proper tools by a knowledgeable installer can yield a
 very good quality fitting.  Clearly there are millions of them out there
 in commercial/industrial/military applications.

 Likewise a solder compression type fitting done correctly can yield a
 good quality fitting as well.  Though it doesn't seem to take much
 twisting on the coax at the connector to break the braid loose of the
 compression point.

 I've had very few crimp on connectors fail on me I guess, I've had far
 more compression N connectors pull off the end of coax.

 Your mileage may vary

Actually, I KNOW why Quintron is out of business. 
Quintron made quality equipment, mostly for the paging
industry.  They were bought out by Glenayre from
Canada and continued to make quality paging equipment.
 Then the bottom fell out of the paging business.

They went out of business because they couldn't get
paid from companies that were going chapter 11,
bankrupt or out of business.  Motorola also got out of
the paging business.

  I dissagree...crimp on connnectors (of course you solder the center 
  pin)
  are
  probably the best and most replicable connections made.  We did a lot 
  of
  government/military work over the years and it was required to use 
  crimp
  type connectors on flexible cables.  They determined that it was easier
 to
  inspect and was more reliably done.  When you have someone using
  clamp/solder connectors, everyone is different.

  Hello All,
  I would NEVER use crimp for any thing to do with duplex. Like a
 repeater,
  They will work OK (crimp) for test cables and the crimp connector is
  easier
  to install but you can not beat a good solder on clamp connector!

  what

  What is more appropriate for this type of cable?  Is one style more

Re: [Repeater-Builder] simple tone decoder

2005-01-12 Thread Joe Montierth


There is probably no easier and cheaper way to do it
than a 567 chip. This will give you a logic low, or
pull to ground when it decodes. If you are having a
hard time making it work, double check your circuit
layout, make sure the device is good, etc. The 567 is
easy to align and fun to play with, was kind of the
standard touch tone decoder back in the 70's.
