Chris, What is the closest you've operated your R/C to your repeater if your R/C is on 6M, and how close in frequency? Joe M. Chris Curtis wrote: It's hard sometimes to work out differences between hams when neither ham is fully versed in the other's chosen activity. My first exposure to

I looked through my GE microfiche file, and found very little information that is helpful. From what I did find, your radio is a special device that is based upon the PE handheld transceiver modules. It probably was custom-made in a small quantity, since there is no record of it in the

It's not my r/c. ;) But 50.8~50.9 has been run within 6 miles of my 6m repeater site. Now most of the time at about 9 miles at the fairgrounds on the other side of the city limits. Also, my repeater output is 53.45 and 50 watts erp. so that's about the size of it. Chris Kb0wlf

Hi guys .Has anyone come across the ctcss frequency being a little off frequency on a maxon sm4450 I.e. For 123 Hz the radio produces 122.5hz or below is there anyway to make the radio produce the exact programmed Hz  Thank You, Ian Wells, Kerinvale Comaudio, 361 Camboon Road.Biloela.4715

I just found an orphan EMS model Q2033A mobile at my door. No cables or head, just the transceiver and receiver boxes. These were used on the local ambulance and were full duplex, plus repeater function. Is there any use for these on the ham bands? The duplexer looks to be too wide banded

Ian, The CTCSS tones are derived from the timing of ASIC IC107, and are independent of the carrier frequency control circuit. Use your service monitor to sniff around the CPU to see if the clock is running at or very close to 8.2944 MHz. If it is way off, you'll need to replace the X1

Levent, The component number 19C320943G1 is a SPCL COMP BD. I think it's time to take some pictures of this device, since it seems to be an oddball unit that was not a regular production item. Is there no label or tag on the outside of the box, which might give this thing a name or a model

Those frequencies are in the NTIA Federal Government band. Could be Department of Interior, the military, or US Forest Service. Of course, since NTIA has already switched to narrowband operation, the channels in the Lookout Repeater are no longer authorized for their original purpose, and the
