here are my stories, at melbourne hamfest several of us got a $100/case of 5 deal on 440-470 Ericsson KMC-300 mobiles, some of us sold them at profit, some of us held on to them, and i built a repeater out of a few of them..
i have one machine thats made out of 2 kmc's and an nhrc2 controller.. works fairly well, however, the broad front end is getting hammered by horiffic spurrious transmitters on my building (mostly quantars)as well as an 800 trunked system (also moto). im currently working on a mastr2 station to repalce it.. the other was a "built this at 5 am the day before a tower trip" deal, kmc for a receiver and a 100w delta (at 40 watts) for a transmitter.. keys up great, but the audio lines were left unshielded, and the 100kw broadcast antenna 30 feet away is broadcasting latin music on the repeater.. which will get fixed this weekend, either with ferritites, or an mvp repeater. what is scottys spectrum analyzer? im curious! --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "skipp025" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Re: Poor Mans Repeater Project anyone? > > Would some of you group members be interested in a "Poor Mans > Repeater Project" as described below? > > The project goal would be to construct a simple repeater using > various/mixed radio parts.
