It sounds like you have a SRL229 antenna. That extra cable in the mounting tube is part of the matching network. Just push it back up inside the mounting tube. Only the VHF model uses this RG142 matching cable. I have used these antennas for over 20 years now and have had excellent results. You

The GM300 is a repackaged and updated Maxtrac, and a GR-series is two of them in a repeater housing. The Maxtrac / GM-series is designed as a mobile radio ,and I'd take all the normal precautions when running a mobile in high-duty-cycle usage. I believe that there is a large heatsink that is

At a recent meeting buying or building a new control radio was discussed. I remember reading years ago when the repeater was put on the air for the first time that a control link must be 223 Mhz or above to be a qualified control link. After searching part 97, I cannot find the frequency for a

The control receiver frequency can be inside any amateur band above 222.15 MHz, and is kept secret for obvious reasons. In other words, pick a channel which you think has very little activity on it and/or isn't going to be monitored much. Steve WA6ZFT On Tuesday 21 September 2004 04:49,
