fairly complete copy of an earlier version of the manual. I have no need of
them and will let them go for $10 total including shipping via Priority Mail

Anybody have any reviews or maybe a used GMRS radio? I would like a 4 watt
radio. Is the FCC doing in with GMRS repeaters? Does anybody have them for
sale? Do they make a portable repeater?
Mike,
I use the internet to my repeater site to control everything. Including the
AC, Heating, Packet, Alarm System, and controlling/programming the two
CAT-1000s on the VHF and UHF repeaters. I am planning on adding IRLP as well
as video feeds at the site.
I use a program called VNC2. It
I used a GE Phoenix for the RX and a Delta (very similar radio) on TX for a
GMRS repeater for a while. Worked Excellent. Ran a 100 watt Delta (at 40 watts
with no problems. Lashed them together with a NHRC-2 and it sounded great. I
did run 2 5 fans on the cooling fins of the Delta. It was up
I have ordered some Hamtronics UHF Tx Rx PCBs to use for building a repeater.
Are there any other suppliers who make a similar product that I could buy and
make a comparison for performance? Or, should I just stick with the Hamtronics
boards, alone?

If you had an irlp box on site, you have a couple options for 'programming'
a controller.
You can remote into the irlp box as user repeater and make use of the dtmf
regen function.
This would allow you to send dtmf sequences OUT of the irlp box INTO the
controller on the audio input.

Kenneth,
Can you elaborate on the programming piece? I'm hung up on the fact that to
program the CAT-1000 via serial port, you've got to first activate the
CAT-1000 serial port via the DIP switch. (I'm thinking there may be a DTMF
command to activate the serial port as well, but don't have
Yet another option. 930Mhz serial data radios. I found a pair Data Link

stations and camera
Thanks to all who answered, I had to turn my attitude filter on. The
info was very useful, I will be looking for the control head as soon as
I get time to dive into this project.

That'd work for me from my home QTH, but not for my other control ops or
from my mobile. I'd like to have more than 20 miles range as well. It's an
interesting idea though and I do know where I can get my hands on a couple
of data radios.
Thanks!

Ramsey used to make some kits, but the quality was not that good. Even
the Hamtronics parts are of questionable quality. The only advantage to
Hamtronics (I've had a couple) is that you get the satisfaction of
building a kit and seeing it (hopefully) work.
There is so much surplus quality

Yes, two Rangrs. I turn the TX power down to 50W (100W radio) and
provide forced-air cooling in an air-conditioned room. No issues noticed

Im thinking along the same lines as what youre saying. I got the manual
out and found that I can remotely activate the serial port without having to
flip the switch. Id thought of using a relay as well, but wanted to avoid
any additional hardware.
Both of the CAT ports are in
Thanks for the info, had a look at the HiProrepeaters WEB site but no manuals
etc for the Tx/Rx PCBs, might have to follow that up. I have already ordered 2
diplexers, one from here in Australia, the other from China.
Fiddling with them will be an interesting exercise :-)

Hi Guys,
I started a few years back working on a DTMF Keypad locally to program the
controllers. I needed to buffer the audio to make it work, but never
finished it. Maybe someday I will. There used to be a company the sold a
Keypad setup for the CAT Controllers.

Thanks Ken. this is looking interesting now!
On the way to the site in a few minutes to swap out an APRS radio. Gonna
have to look around a little!

For 10v G1 cards. For a non CG station the 10v card jumpers H1-H2 and H3-H9
are present. The audio muting is through jumper H16-H17 and is not present.
If no 16-17 jumper then remove Q12 for repeat audio. Q12 is the audio muting
transistor for RX1 Mute. That should at least get you
If you are most familiar controlling over the phone. You might want to
consider an analog telephone adapter (ATA), like the Linksys PAP2T.
It's a little box that converts the standard telephone RJ-11 to ethernet.
From there you can have another on the remote end, or get a DID phone number
Yes it is.
Care to describe your setup?
