[Repeater-Builder] Re: Icom F1010 data problem

2008-06-11 Thread essexsaxo
Hi,

Thanks for the replies, I am trying to send Pocsag data through the 
radio. I've found a few jumpers and soldered them and still no luck. 
I'm beginning to wonder if the F1010 can handle Pocsag data, 

Dave

 There are a few of those half-moon-like solder pads which determine 
 where the tx audio coming into the accessory cable is fed - either 
 standard mic-level filtered audio, or direct into the modulator 
 bypassing all filtering (ie: a pl input). Try setting the jumpers 
to 
 select the correct audio input mode.  I don't have any docs on the 
 F1010, but I'm sure it's similar to the rest of the Icom mobiles as 
 per above. Sometimes the solder pads are labeled with a letter ( 
 A,B,C,etc).

  Hi all,
  
  I'm new to the group, I have been trying to send some POCSAG Data

  to be having much luck. I've got the OPC-617 hooked up and the

Does 
 any

  any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Repeater-Builder] ICOM repeater

2008-06-11 Thread james_thurlow2003
Wise fellows of the repeater forum.  After some advice from people 
who know.

Over the years I've dabbled in programming commercial VHF radios, 
mostly in relief aid settings where regulation is often scarce.  I 
know run a sports event company in the UK and I have a bundle of 
VHF's on simplex to make things happen.

The events are in rural areas and I'm keen to make communications a 
little better by using a repeater.  As the events shift around the 
ideal would be to put the repeater in a car and park it on a mountain 
pass or even pop it in a tent and put it on a hill top.

Ofcom in the UK (regulator) will give me the freq's for each event 
and hopefully they won't swap them around as it be a lot of grief to 
reprogramme the radios.

Anyway to the POINT.  The repeater - have to admit I'm keen to do 
this on the cheap yet need something that doesn't need attention 
during an event.

Intially was tempted by a website that described how to build a 
repeater from two ICOM mobiles (prestonmoore).  All OK however by the 
time you add up the bits its almost the same price as ICOM's SRP 
repeater. http://www.icomuk.co.uk/categoryRender.asp?
categoryID=3510cCID=6422

My questions - I know the role of duplexer but is it essential for 
use on high band VHF.  The leaflet for this repeater suggests 2 
antenna working.

One supplier questioned the build quality of ICOM - any thoughts?  In 
years gone by I've had plenty of problems with Yaseu so was not that 
keen on their suggestion (also twice price).

In a car I guess the metal work acts as the ground.  In a tent on a 
hill, discrete operation would be nice (e.g. no 20ft mast).  Is it 
possible to use a mag mount but then would you have to ground the 
unit somehow?  Sorry about the basic question.

Advice and ideas most welcome.

[Repeater-Builder] FS EF Johnson DL-3490 900 MHz transceivers

2008-06-11 Thread Mel Farrer
I have a small quantity of these transceivers that were previously
spoken for but have not be taken and no response from the buyer to
emails.  They are pullouts from service so condition is not known. I
also have a large quantity of the equivalent ICOMs, that is crystals
plus compensation networks.  These are data or voice units.  They are
set up for the 928 to 950 MHz band but can be converted to 902 to 928
MHz.  Price is $30 for each transceiver plus shipping or discount on
quantity.   I will include a handful of the ICOMs with each unit sold,
helps to have extra units.  Contact at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers,
