John and Group, While in the paging industry we had a high band, UHF and 900 MHz paging systems. We ran analog on some and always the highest speed digital paging available. All we had for a time base was the old Ovenaire high stab oscillator until some time later. As a rule we netted the transmitters once every 6 months which seemed to be good enough for high band, UHF would be a little worse unless you used a higher stab oscillator. By all means GPS would be much better but as you said "it's all about resources". ISC in Quincy Ill. would probably have all you need of the older technology stuff to build something like the system you spoke of, again all it takes is money. GPS would be much higher cost.

I would love to put up a simulcast system. But the time, money, & other resources make it basically impossible. To do it right, you need to have it syn'ch to GPS. The OLDER systems that used high accuracy crystals in ovens needed regular attention. I make it to my repeaters about twice a year. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sun, 05 Jun 2005 05:24:31 PM CDT From: "Steve Bosshard \(NU5D\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SNIP > Most ham clubs do not have the resources for a simulcast system, but it > would be nice. Also a trunked 2 or 3 channel system could be viable. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
