I'm collecting info about using a Tait T800 series 1 low band repeater as a ham 6m repeater, but info is very scarce. I do not own such a repeater yet but know where I'd get one in case I see that there is some hope for success.
These are the problems one will most likely run into: First of all the factory software to generate the hex files is very stubborn and refuses to generate files for out of band frequencies. The factory frequency range is 66-88 MHz while I'd need it between 51 and 52 MHz. BTW I only have the old dos software as the newer windows version is nowhere to be found. Second the hardware may need some tweaking, but to what extent? Furthermore I have not found the manuals for the T825 (RX), T827 (Exciter) and T828 (PA) modules. I'd appreciate if those who know these repeaters could say a few words about it. Thanks guys. 73 de Martin HB9TZW
