I was hoping to get info on putting a gm300 to the 220 mhz band so that I can take advantage of the channel steering capabilities of that radio as a remote base. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® -Original Message- From: Bill jawjabill...@yahoo.com Date: Tue, 24 Nov

Well, maybe I've actually managed to do something different... I've been adding a 1 pf chip cap (0603) between the oval shaped pad in the filter, and the edge of the filter sectiont. One cap for each section. This lowers the frequency down below 900, and then I use a dremmel with a sharp bit

A Micor receiver on 900 would be great! I have never seen anything about that, but haven't really considered it. We use a Micor for our 145.270 machine, and used one on our 224.280 for quite a while. I have a Micor aux receiver rack, anyone have a 900 MHz receiver board for sale? Do they make

I wonder, are the Micor receivers 2.5 kHz bandwidth or wideband. On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 2:23 PM, Mike Morris WA6ILQ wa6...@gmail.comwrote: At 10:22 AM 11/22/09, you wrote: Been there done that seven years ago...it is a liiittle more than the three items listed that need to be done

They should be neither 2.5 kHz or Wideband FM (never heard of a wideband FM Micor). They should be 11.0 kHz bandwidth - for 2.5 kHz deviation, although they could be 16.0 kHz bandwidth for 5.0 kHz deviation. Joe M. James Adkins wrote: I wonder, are the Micor receivers 2.5 kHz bandwidth

Which brings up another interesting question: We are already using a 75w MSF-5000. Could a Motorola Nucleus II paging transmitter be used and the MSF-5000 receiver? We're using an external controller, S-COM 7330. I don't see why one couldn't just wire up the RX audio, COR and PL to the RX
