Three Quantars and an MTR are likely to cost you something in the neighborhood of $50,000.00.
You would normally purchase these items from a Motorola dealer. Ask your account rep to get you the Motorola product planner documents. These will explain the options and ordering configurations. I would suggest that you spend a little extra and order the enhanced wildcard option on the Quantar stations because it adds a great deal of flexibility to your control capability. If you are not connecting the repeaters to a third party repeater controller, you could consider ordering the Station Access Module option [SAM]. The SAM option installs a control decoder in the Quantar station. The decoder can be configured to respond to MDC or DTMF signals. In addition to controlling the station in which it is installed, you can have the decoder drive station wildcard outputs which you could cross-connect to corresponding wildcard inputs on one or more other stations, thereby providing complete supervisory control over all the stations at that site. If you are going to set the system up for P25 / analog mixed mode operation, you could order a DIU3000 for each repeater so equipped. The DIU contains a VOCODER so you can interface an analog audio path to a digital capable station. The DIU can then be connected to a third party repeater controller, back to back with another station or a link radio. Adding 3 DIU's to your order could put you over $75,000.00. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "larryjspamme...@..." <lar...@...> wrote: > > Our site owner wants us to upgrade our old Motorola MICOR 2-Meter and UHF ham > Repeaters to something much newer.
