Randy, I am surprised that your building inspector allowed your repeater to be installed at that location. Article 620.37(A) of the National Electrical Code forbids any equipment or wiring not directly associated with the elevator to be installed in elevator control rooms or machinery spaces. In my area, a paging company installed a paging transmitter in the elevator control room at a hospital, but was ordered to remove it when the building inspector made a routine walk-through. Ironically, that paging system was installed to support the hospital's own doctor paging system!
Since the hospital is the tallest building in the city, the management had another masonry room installed on the roof, with a separate entrance, specifically to contain radio equipment. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Randy Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 4:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Cold & MVP Well speaking of cold we have a MVP remote RX which is a duplexed 2 meter rx to 70 cm tx that is in a elevator room on top of a 15 story building and that room is largely at near ambient temperature and now with the cold seems slow to come up. The elements were temp compensated etc and I really don't think that it is coming up off frequency. If anything it seems it there at extremely low power but not confirmed at this point. The site is in a secure site so is hard to get access to for testing. What thoughts does anyone have on this. Randy
