Anyone got a source for the above? I have an MSR2000 that's in an

If all you want is a transmit element do a search on ebay with:

The parentheses and the comma set up an OR condition, the
asterisk allows a 1095, 1095A, 1095B, etc to be found, and
because the first one has a - in it you need to have it in quotes
(normally the - is used as an exception... if you were to type

 remove cured material from wires or other surfaces?

 Their reply is below. Hey, it's better than nothing.

 Thank you for contacting 3M. We don't make solvents
 to remove Scotchkote and any solvent that is used
 could damage whatever the Scotchkote is spilled on.
 For uncured Scotchkote, you might use MEK or Acetone.
 These solvents are in the uncured Scotchkote so might
 help to remove it. If it has cured, there isn't any
 product that we could suggest.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Gmrs Repeater

2008-01-24 Thread lists455
Gary,

A mobile relay station is defined as a device that relays mobile
traffic (i.e., a repeater). A fixed station is simply a base station,
at a fixed location, manually controlled by an operator. This is
standard across FCC controlled communications and is not GMRS
specific.

LMR repeaters are commonly licensed with a station class of FB2, which
the FCC designates as mobile relay. A fixed base station would be
classified as FB under an FCC license. When a system will have a fixed
base operating through a repeater you'll have both FB and FB2 on the
license.

Hopefully that clears it up.

I can't imagine why you'd want to go to the trouble of building 
a GMRS repeater.  Two years ago I purchased a Motorola Desktrac UHF,
tuned it up and set it up.  Works fine -- no hassles.  It is a little 
more power than I need so I'm about to replace it with a Ritron

more than $325 for the repeater, duplexer and programming.

[Repeater-Builder] MSR2000 Channel Elements

2008-01-24 Thread Adam C. Feuer
Hello All,

I just came off the RB web site and either missed what I was looking 
for or just didn't find it.

It is written very clear with regard to the transmit elements that 
you can't swap crystals from the KXN1088 to the KXN1095.

Does this hold true on the receive elements, KXN1086B and 
KXN1112A?  I have a crystal that was ordered for a KXN1086B but just 
came across a KXN1112A element.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that background info. I suppose that's one way to look at it but in 
my experience a mobile relay station now carries a different definition from 
the FCC as shown in Part 90.7 for example. They also define a fixed relay 
station so while at one time the term 'mobile relay station' may have passed as 
any repeater I wonder if they take a different position today. Gary

the underlying and unexpected contridiction here was not between 15Khz vs. 
20Khz channel spacing but instead between 20Khz and 25Khz channels more 
commonly found on UHF which as you know is where GMRS resides. Historically 
there's more than enough guard between channels to compensate for slight 
overdeviation or slight drift off channel but now everybody wants to tighten 
things up so new gear is coming stock with 4Khz max dev associated with 20Khz 
channels vs. 5Khz dev which we've all enjoyed for years on 25/30Khz channels. 
Seems a bit odd of them to expect no interference problems from +/-5Khz peak 
dev on a 20Khz max channel but it is better for us users to have the option I 
suppose.

Note also that a 0.005% frequency tolerance is 3 times as big at 450 MHz as
it is at 150, hence the wider channel spacing that has been used on UHF in
the past.

  I wrote NARROWER GMRS SPECS. I did not write narrowband. After more
 study I
  see some possible contridictions in the rules as currently written for
  example, F3E/G3E GMRS emissions (probably the most common) are limited
 to
  20Khz bandwidth but at the same time those emission types are also
 limited
  to +/-5Khz peak dev. I suspect the FCC doesn't really give a damn these
 days
  especially with rebanding, auctions, and now a congressional
 investigation
  on their doorstep.

   You're not talking about the Part 90 narrowbanding? Part 95 (GMRS)
 does
   not have to narrowband. The 12.5 tertiaries are NB, but the normal
   channels can stay as they are.

I should clarify that I was referring to new commercial gear coming stock with 
4Khz dev on 20Khz channels as one of the selectable bandwidths per channel. So 
far as I know most new VHF/UHF amateur gear these days is user selectable as 
either wideband or narrowband. I'm working more today with the newer Moto stuff 
(Astro, Pro, and Mototrbo) and don't keep up on the amateur gear as much I used 
to.

 there's more than enough guard between channels to compensate for slight

 Seems a bit odd of them to expect no interference problems from +/-5Khz peak

 Just a friendly note-watch out if your repeater is on 2M. NE Ohio has 
 used 110.9 for 2M repeaters since the early 70's. If you are on 2M, I 
 suggest using another tone. Like wise, for UHF, stay away from 131.8.

Matt and Group,

I will be taking a bunch of Motorola manuals to Dayton, if you are there
look me up.  Besides the manuals I will have several Micor base stations,
the 100 watt variety as well as test bench equipment like Motorola test
panels, cables and things like that.  I do not know my slot numbers but will
let everyone know when I find out.

Will also have a few GE Mastr II desktop base stations that are great for
low power backyard repeater service.

Contact me directly if interested and I will keep you informed.

Moderators, if this is a No no let me know.

Thanks,
Paul

I've been searching for a very simple circuit that could turn on a,
maybe, 10 watt resistor at 12 volts, when the temperature drops to
perhaps 30F or so.  Anyone have a reliable favorite?

 I can't imagine why you'd want to go to the trouble of building

 more power than I need so I'm about to replace it with a Ritron

 more than $325 for the repeater, duplexer and programming.

Do either of them make 50 watts? Also neither of those has a receiver 
that can handle high-level RF sites, especially the Riton. It's fine for 
in a small plant, or at your house, but I wouldn't put one up at a busy 
high-profile site...
The Desktrac? well, maybe...

I understand that the Vibrasender is not as sensitive in receive apps as a

Educated guess-that's probably for the 800MHz NPSPAC channels. They are 
slightly narrower assignments, with +/-4KHz dev total.

I think they are 11K3 instead of 12K5 emission...?

Huh? GMRS channels are still spaced 25 KHz apart. If someone is making 
radios with 20KHz spacing, they are illegal-in the US...
