Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tait tb7100 verses tb8100
The TB7100 is only a toy compared to the TB8100 series. Actually the '7100 series is made utilising Tait Mobile boards that dont quite make specification.

[Repeater-Builder] Tait T700 Mobile Repeater
Hi All, I came across a web site that had a listing for a Tait T700 Mobile 70cm Repeater. It appears that they are using one T700 and turning it into a full duplex unit. I have a few T700 UHF radios sitting on my shelf and was wondering about using them as a portable/moble repeater. Does anyone have any information on the conversion? I am currently doing a google search to see what I can find. Will also try Tait here in NZ. Thanks Kevin, ZL1KFM. Get Skype and call me for free. sparc_nz Description: Binary data

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MSF-5000 PL encode deviation
As others have said, the PL/DPL deviation is NOT separately adjustable. It's a fixed percentage of the total deviation. It is very clean however, so even though it might measure rather high, it'll be quite inaudible. You'd have to add a resistor somewhere to lower just the PL level. Make sure you measure and set the deviation with the PL turned on. Your total deviation should be set for 4.5 to 5.0 kHz; it will be less without PL. I haven't seen a spec on the PL/DPL deviation in any MSF manual either.

Great piece of hardware. But more used to working with GE Mastr II's. Have an MSF-5000 repeater we're trying to get going on VHF. Have experimented with both the on-board controller stand alone as well as off board CAT. Several ee-pots to adjust in the software setting output audio levels, but none specific to just PL encode level. We got it adjusted for 5 KHz output deviation, but noticed the PL encode deviation is a little high at about 900 Hz. I usually like to see around 600 to 750 Hz. I couldn't find in the manuals anywhere what Moto spec'd PL deviation at for the MSF-5000. Looks like the PL level is a fixed percentage without an independent output level adjust. Probably something we are doing wrong in setting levels, but wanted to get some feedback from the group. Thanks in advance! Ralph W4XE
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Opinions on telewave duplexers
I think it's just a matter of personal preference and where you're located. Check with some other site owners and get their opinions too. I've dealt with Telewave and their phone and e-mail support is quick and helpful.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Opinions on telewave duplexers
I have three Telewave VHF duplexers in service which I bought new from Telewave along with a number of other Telewave components, all very good and trusted stuff! I like Telewave and will continue to use them in the future.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Opinions on telewave duplexers
I have nothing bad to say about Telewave, but if you are looking at TX/RX and Telewave as the two choices, I'd pick TX/RX any day.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Opinions on telewave duplexers
I have a couple of UHF WACOMs that _appear_ identical to Telewave. Telewave claims that they share a common design heritage (I think thats the exact wording). I am extremely happy with the design, and I have used Telewave support for other things and have found them to be easily the best I've seen for support. I'm a ham, I buy one thing from a company like Telewave every ten years, but they treat me like a king. A HUMAN answers the phone and it usually takes ONE transfer to be with the right person who will always help.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Opinion on Hardline
I have a 220 repeater ( budget project ) going on the air soon, hopefully. I was given a 100ft or so of Times Microwave RG-331 ( alum. Jacket ) hardline, roughly the same specs as 1/2 Heliax though just a little larger diameter it appears. Should this be safe, even though perhaps not preferred, for use on a repeater? - Mike
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Used Outdoor Repeater Cabinets?
Thanks to everyone for the various ideas. I think I'll hit up the local department of Roads and Bridges and see if I can't snag a used traffic controller housing. Thanks again guys, 73. Alex
