Dustin, I don't have any equipment at the moment I can donate, sorry.
One word of advice on the MARS repeater. Most often in the VHF range MARS uses 143/148 frequencies with 5+/- offsets for repeaters. We hams use 0.6 MHz offsets and we normally have to use large expensive duplexers, $800-1500 new/$400 used. However, with 5 MHz offset one can often use mobile duplexers commonly found in old mobile phones...you know the old large trunk mount phones with large handset up front. When you really had to know someone to get a mobile phone. So when considering your repeater needs might consider use of a mobile duplexer. These can be had for $20 used. You have to tune, but do pretty good job. They do limit power to about 50 watts. Just some info that might save you some money. However, don't skimp on the feedline and antenna. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Dustin Stinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/09/01 Sat PM 10:51:59 CDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: [Repeater-Builder] repeater equipment > >hey this is dustin kd5ood im a ham and a oklahoma army mars member in >comanche oklahoma i have been working on a repeater for mars and i was >wondering if anybody hand any equpiment for sale or to donate thanks > > Ron Wright, N9EE 727-376-6575 MICRO COMPUTER CONCEPTS Owner 146.64 repeater Tampa Bay, FL No tone, all are welcome.
