Mike, I have few objectives: 1) Remove a lot of RF from the RACES room, 2) Release two antennas for other purposes, 3) Consolodate operations: one mocrophone instead of many, 4) Allow simple, non-RF interconnection between repeaters. Eventually, remote control could extend to as many as 8 repeaters and 2 remote base stations. I'm also looking at the possibility of remoting packet as well.
Bill - WB1GOT I'll maintain backup access via radios but they'll be shared with other use and no longer dedicated to repeater operations. 3) --- In [email protected], Mike Morris WA6ILQ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At 08:22 PM 12/17/06, you wrote: > >I have an opportunity to establish remote control for several of our > >ham repeaters that are co-locates with our county microwave system. > >There are plenty of "spare" $W E&M channels available with the switch > >from an analog to a digital system. > >My objective is to remove a little RF from our RACES room and > >consolodate the current mess into something simple. > >Ideally, I can hack together a simple pushbutton operated panel: push > >to select a particular repeater.
