Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB-304 Antenna Help
Thanks Tom, will see how it works out.

Generally the higher freq harness is not long enough to allow the dipoles to be moved to where they should be. Some people have used the harness and dipole placement as they were originally but with a slightly higher VSWR. This does not give you the best pattern either. 73's de Tom Manning, AAF4UG Mathew Quaife wrote: Mathew I am not familiar with that particular model antenna. I currently use a DB224 antenna that I modified about 10 years ago for use at 145.49Mhz. I figured how much to lengthen the loops by using ratio and proportion, I then cut the loops and added the necessary aluminum rod. I had the added rod and all aluminum connections heliarced. The antenna has a very low VSWR and has given many years good service. This is not bad for a recycled commercial antenna that cost nothing but a $200 Was the harness changed to accomodate the antenna retunning, or to replace a bad one.? Mathew phasing harness and a good deal of work. 73's de Tom Manning, AF4UG [EMAIL PROTECTED] w9mwq wrote: I have DB-304 antenna that at 156.100 gives a 1.2 VSWR at 50 ohms, looks real good.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Key
Neil, I read it. And agree, it's very informative. And at some point it may become useful to me. If I did not already work 110 hours a week, and had more time, I'd most likely pursue the radio repair that I left so long ago. Right now, what my goal is, to get that long awaited repeater up and running for our county, that until now, has never had a two meter repeater. I plan to convert the micors to use, cause you guys say they are the best, and when more than one says it, it must be true. I don't even want to make a repeater out of one, just use the receiver, and the transmitter, connect it to my RLC controller. The information that has been consumed here is more than appreciated, and although I may not get to respond to all of them, I do read them all, and put them away for future use. One day a week, and a hour here and there, I just wished I had more hours in a minute. Thanks for being there, all of you.

I have been collecting radio keys for about 35 - 40 years and have accumulated quite a few. What do you mean 'old man' ??? you are 7 years, 9 days younger than me ...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MSR 2000 UHF Repeater
If the MSR uses the same tone board as a Mitrek mobile they are not that expensive - last time I checked they were $20 each at C. W. Wolfe Electronics, a used 2-way radio dealer in Billings Montana at 406-252-9220. Ask for a HLN-4181 then learn how to make your own tone elements at http://www.repeater-builder.com/mitrek/mitrek-hln4181.html.
