RE: [Repeater-Builder] hello- i have a question
From reading your message, it's very difficult to determine what you're asking. I think you're wanting to share your DSL service with a friend at another location. You could probably do this with wi-fi if the distance isn't too greatand that would be the easiest and most elegant solution.I wouldn't recommend doing it without checking with your ISP first. Reason being, if (when?) they find out what you're doing, they'll probably (at the very least) disconnect you andbill you for service for two locations as far back as they think you've been doing it,unless you have some type of business account with them that allows that sort of thing. Repeaters are mainly for voice communication. Hope this helps.

[Repeater-Builder] Maggiore VHF R1 Connection to ComSpec TS64-DS...
Dave,
Yes. I would be glad to see it. The repeater in question is VHF
(2-meter). However, except for a possible difference in the input level of
the CTCSS tone to the different band exciters, I would think that it should
be a similar installation.

[Repeater-Builder] RC 210 / 220 radio for remote ideas?
I am considering upgrading to a RC 210 controller over the summer. I have a RC100 (from MCC) that I married with a CSI CS1688 latch board to work with a TMG707 and a IC3AT for a remote base system. Worked great. I took the controller and WAS going to put it into a cleaner looking box...but never got around to it. Running another RC100 with just the TMG707 right now. Meanwhile...the RC210 came out. Looks great and would make life easier in the remote base work for the NWS here locally. However.it would still leave my 220 remote out (I need to control the BCD line and would have no way of doing it) I need ideas to make a 220 freq agile (or at least work the channels on it) with the RC210 or Ideas on how to use the RC100 to control the IC3AT and use the RC210 as the main controller.

You can control any transciever that has an up/down button on its mic with a pulsed output from your controller,if it has one. I call it the poor mans remote.It only allows switching the memory channels one at a time. Its most useful if the radio has voice readback of the frequency.

I am considering upgrading to a RC 210 controller over the summer. I have a RC100 (from MCC) that I married with a CSI CS1688 latch board to work with a TMG707 and a IC3AT for a remote base system. Worked great. I took the controller and WAS going to put it into a cleaner looking box...but never got around to it. Running another RC100 with just the TMG707 right now. Meanwhile...the RC210 came out. Looks great and would make life easier in the remote base work for the NWS here locally. However.it would still leave my 220 remote out (I need to control the BCD line and would have no way of doing it) I need ideas to make a 220 freq agile (or at least work the channels on it) with the RC210 or Ideas on how to use the RC100 to control the IC3AT and use the RC210 as the main controller. Would really like NOT to do the other. Trying to make this as simple as possible. Ideas? Thanks, Robert The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectrum Communications
Hi Joe: You just hit the "shock awe" button for this group. Yes the company is still in business. It has the worst reputation of any I have encountered. Kevin Schaeffer is the only person you can communicate with. You quickly realize he is a snake oil and used car specialist When I mentioned Rectum Cons. on this group, traffic quadrupled for almost a week. I immediately received not several, but many, emails with similar stories. Mostgave me the name, phone number and email to a specific agent in the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office that was handling similar cases against the company. My personal experience started ~9 months ago, and lasted7 months. I was talked into resurrecting an SCR1000 with a long history of problems. (Had I been a member of this group then I wouldn't have touched the SCR1000) I sent the exciter PA for repairs.Kevin initially said it needed a new exciter ($250) and they would retune the PA for free. Then it was $350. After many unanswered emails and phone calls, Kevin said they had to do extra work requiring the additional charge. He then charged my Visa $450. After many unanswered emails and phone calls over a three month period I had Visa reverse the charges. That resulted in Kevin screaming onmy phone at 5:00 AM thefollowing morning. After another month of negotiating, I said I would not pay any more than the justified $350. When I received the Transmitter section back, seven months after sending to them, it lacked the crystal oven Kevin said is standard on their exciters.Transmit power is 12-18 Watts with the claimed 30 Watt PA. I decided to accept it as having been screwed and not bother with further deception and irritation.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectrum Communications
They are relocating to the city of Atlantis, under the water to cool those funny circuits so the smoke won't leak out on the test bench - we are all awaiting the new phone number and zip code as the location known to most is extinct. Rumor has is they were the pioneers of broadband but sold out to competitors like Enron, who were unable to use the force safely in real time.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectrum Communications
Hey, I saw that Spectrum 220 repeater, too. In fact, a friend almost bought it. But friends don't let friends buy Spectrum, so it turned out OK.

I'm wondering thoughif this would work; Can you not tell the RC210 to send out a line of dtmf's? Set this up in a macro? That way you could have channels that the IC3AT would just dial up to. I also wonder in the same macro if you could get it to pause or drop the tx then re-key and send another string of dtmf's? I haven't played with it yet...but I change the dip switches on the ts32 (for the 3at) with the CS-1688. Not sure yet if it couldn't be incoorperated in to the one line of dtmf's yet or not.

At 08:08 PM 5/8/2004 -, you wrote: Can you not tell the RC210 to send out a line of dtmf's? Set this up in a macro? ---Yep, you sure can. The 210 has 20 DTMF memories, each of which can store 10 digits. Each memory can be called from a Command Macro. I'm not familiar with the sequence of events that need to take place when you send a command to the RC100 in order to do what you want but it doesn't accept some DTMF digit as a command terminator, to force command execution (as in the case of a 'stuck' COS)? Currently in an RC210 Command Macro, there is no way to actually drop the PTT line on a port. Ken That way you could have channels that the IC3AT would just dial up to.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Maggiore VHF R1 Connection to ComSpec TS64-DS...
Yes. I would be glad to see it. The repeater in question is VHF (2-meter). However, except for a possible difference in the input level of the CTCSS tone to the different band exciters, I would think that it should be a similar installation. FB, Steve. I'll be at the site one day early next week, i'll snap a few shots and the docs for you. Seeya, Dave KG4YZY www.aprsfl.net www.fab-corp.com Yahoo!
