Hi Will,
I've done one or two...
Base station implies the MSR was originally
used in simplex (non repeat operation). If
you want to convert a prewired duplex base
station, there are a number of coversions
around, including mine on the
www.radiowrench.com/sonic web page as well as
one or two on the repeater builder site.
A simple rule of thumb... look at the antenna
coax connector(s). One coax connector is a
base station (unless you spot an internal
duplexer). Two coax connectors imply a duplex
unit, most often a repeater. If you have the
single coax port msr, read on...
Depends on which base station you have. If your
base has the duplex back plane, you're looking
at wires jumpers and modules... plus a serious
amount of time. The duplex back plane will
operate as a repeater without an external
controller.
If you have the non-duplex backplane, your're
looking at a bit of serious technical work,
a lot more wires, jumpers and maybe modules.
The non-duplex back plane conversion will
require an external controller. This conversion
is not for the faint of heart... (ie short
tempers).
The new antenna lead connections much be made
with high quality coax. I used to hunt down
and use the original chassis mount SO-239 with
the matching hood, but an in line connector
will work.
cheers,
skipp
