I am using two Icom IC-2AT hand held radios as a low power "one way"
repeater system. This system provides a full quieting signal into a
local repeater whenever I use another HT around the house. The one
way transmitter uses a yagi antenna in the attic and the frequency is
set to a local repeater input frequency. The one way receiver uses a
simple rubber duck antenna (high sensitivity is not an issue here) and
listens to an offset frequency opposite that of the local repeater
thus allowing me to listen to the local repeater directly on my HT.
Everything works great with one exception. Whenever I stand in a few
specific locations around the house, an irritating buzz is transmitted
from the one way repeater.
I did some additional testing and discovered that several other two
meter receivers (various brands) in my home will receive a buzzing
sound whenever I transmit from several specific locations within my
home using various brands of hand held radios. The exact location
where the HT produces the buzz varies with different receivers that
are located in different places in my home. Incidently, it makes no
difference if the output power of the HT is increased or decreased.
This problem may be obvious to others, but my friends and I are unable
to figure it out. If I knew what was causing this buzz, I may be able
to resolve same. Any comments or help would be welcomed!
