I'm putting up a repeater in my local area--coordinated frequency is
146.895, going to tone it at 123.0.
The repeater is a Kenwood 270--I know it's not a big Motorola box,
etc., but the price was right--FREE! I've had it checked and reset
for the new frequency and it works just fine--puts out 48 watts
steadily.
Local Emergency Management Agency will provide antenna, feedline and
installation, we're closing in on a couple of site locations right
now.
My questions are these:
1. I need a duplexer for this system--what are your thoughts on
cavities, etc.
2. Does anyone have a set of cavities we can find cheap? What's the
best bet for cavities--size, number, etc.
3. What do you recommend for ID'ers--need to be compatible with the
Kenwood.
4. What about remote controlling of the repeater? The sites we're
looking at don't have phone lines available--will probably have to use
some remote control--what do you suggest? I do have some Motorola
Syntor UHF units that could perhaps be utilized...or should I be
looking for some used 220 band stuff?
4. What else will be needed? I'm a novice in the repeater world...
You can reply offline if you wish to me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
through the board, I suppose!
Thanks to all!
