RE: [Repeater-Builder] LINK receivers

The most common and easiest to use is to find some Maxtracs or M100 or the like with the 16pin plug on the back.  There are a number of systems in this area using Doug Hall voters driven by these links.  A VHF for the 2 meter receiver and into a UHF unit for the 440 link.

No modifications required.  But we do use a controller between the radios (SCom 5K's)

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] LINK receivers

 

Hi All,

 

Rather than reinvent the wheel, a couple of our club members want to experiment with a remote receive site.  To start they are going to play with a dual band radio, receiving on VHF and relaying on UHF.  The ultimate plan will be to have a voter (LDG RVS-8 most likely) 

 

The question I have is this.  Is there a good, inexpensive UHF radio (like a Moxy, or Maxar, etc.) that is easy to interface to a voter, cheap with channel elements or crystals, doesn't take a rocket scientist to move to the ham bands, with a PL deck that will strip the PL tone off the link audio ... that someone has experimented with and is currently using with good results? 

 

Any good articles out there, on any of the builder sites?

 

I have avoided this subject with our Club members because I didn't want to create a monster REPEATER, (KISS) so I ask and duck for cover!

 

Thanks all!

Brian, WD9HSY

 

PS for those who will ask the current repeater is a 60 Micor VHF Standalone with a Scom 7k controller.
