Re: [Repeater-Builder] ten meter repeater setups

[Wade Lake]

I have an 435 MHz simplex link radio on a 440 MHz repeater.  I have my controller not holding PTT for a hang time on the link port and obviously no courtesy tone either.  The other repeater I am linking to is set up the same way.  This makes the link very seamless.  You cant even tell that its coming through the link except that I made the courtesy tone different for the link radio.   All that was needed to accomplish the in band link was a Band-Pass cavity on the the link radio to provide some RF isolation and a little vertical seperation for the antennas.     By the way, multiple links can be accomplished by simply adding a link radio on the same link frequency to each repeater in the system provided that all the link radios can hear each other.   Wade - KR7K     ----- Original Message ----- From: T.J.

Just out of curiosity and because it's more on-topic - how many people have RB's of some sort on their repeater systems on the list, and to which band(s)? Nate WY0X Yahoo!
