Re: [Repeater-Builder] East coast system? OT
You are right about the folks over at Cook Tower. Dean will talk radio till the cows come home. Plus it is toll free. Nice folks. But this time you will want to call Communications Spec. in CA. 800-854-0547 They can hook you up with an incode only unit for under $30.00 I think $27.00 but don't hold me to the $27.00 As I tell folks around here it is an easy hook up. 3 wires and two are power smile I like to tie the 3rd one on the dev. pot. But they can tell you at comm-spec the best place on a lot of radio's just tell them what you have. If not you can always call Dean or Kathy over at Cook they will install it for you.big grin.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Question on Motorola encryption
What are you going to use it for? I cant remember but I think that the DVP would work through repeaters. As far as DES-XL I don't know. I'm versed in DES, as I designed a DES encreption/ decryption modem a few years ago for the military. The DES aproach is very likely a 64 bit serial algorithem with a 128 bit key. You figure out how secure it is. I guess you would have to know how the encryption is done. I do. Take my word. It's very secure. Enough for the military to use. 73 AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, bredalrv1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I would like to find out about Motorola Encryption products. there seems to be a lot of different models.

Actually near the input to the amp under the cover is the exciter power control circuitfound that after searching the manuals. Getting 1.45 watts now and driving the amp at 45uA so all is good there, now to figure out that it's the next driver or the matched drivers that are badpretty sure it's the second driver in the amp.

Thanks Mike, if the same codes were not put into the weather radio, it should not require the same codes to be sent is what I am thinking. I sent a 1050 Hz tone from the service monitor, that did not open the receiver. Somewhere in my boxes of junk I should have a plain old weather receiver. Just have to find it.

On all the units that I have, they either respond to the 1050 Hz tone, or SAME, but not both. The SAME units ONLY respond to SAME codes. The tone units only respond to tone.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Weather Radios
You need to send data in the correct format. This is like asking of a SM (or a SG) can generate packet. No, none that I know of can by themselves. I'm sure there is a way to use the external modulation port (if it has one) to inject the SAME datastream onto the signal, but I don't know of anyone who has such a generator for the datastream. As was mentioned, try the Wednesday test. In my area, it's between 11:00 and 11:30 AM, but your area may vary. Regardless it should have a test. BUT, depending on how you are interfacing the unit, and the unit you have, it may not help. My home unit displays TEST on the screen, and unmutes the audio for a few minutes, but does not light any of the WATCH or WARNING lamps. Joe M.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Weather Radios
The 1050 hz tone is the original arert tone that was used before the SAME system was installed. It is still transmitted with a duration of 8-10 seconds,is not area specific and will give a warning for the whole coverage area of the station, sometimes as much as 5000 square miles. Generating a SAME tone is not for the faint of heart. It is digital and has such oddball parameters as 520.83 bps data rate, a digital 1 = 2083.3 hz , a digital 0 = 1562.5 hz.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Weather Radios
When I was playing with SAME weather radios a couple of years back, I called the local NWS weather office and found out what time they were going to conduct their test. I then set up a timer on a cassette recorder to record the broadcast. I guess you could use this as the audio source for a service monitor, but what I did was just inject the audio into the weather radio at the volume control. In my case I wasn't going to use the RF section of the weather radio as it got clobbered by all the RF on the hill I was on. I think I used a GE Phoenix as the receiver, and then coupled the audio to the weather radio so I could use it's SAME detector. I just injected the audio where I was going to inject the receive audio. It worked just fine.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Weather Radios
Nope - you don't need to be home, and you already have a long-term recorder in your house right now. Take your VCR, and set it to record from the external video and audio jacks. Stick a tape in it - any tape will give you at least 2 hours, extended play mode up to 6. Program the VCR to record from an hour before to an hour behind. On one of my machines I had to loop the video from video out to video in before the unit would record - it apparently needed the video sync before it would record - even from the audio input. Strange. Anyway then dub the important part from the VCR to a cassette or into your sound card for archiving. Then you can play either over and over and over when you wear out the cassette you can dub a new one. And when a storm rolls through you can put use the VCR recorder again to get more alerts. Mike WA6ILQ At 06:46 PM 6/7/04 +, you wrote: Thanks for the input, I think I am going to try the recording thing, that should work. Then I can inject it with the SM. One question, the unit would have to be open squelch to hear it correct. SO have it some on as before my scheduled time and record for awhile.

WX alert system just right without having to wait till Wednesday or the next storm to roll through. This also would be way easier than trying to emmulate the actual S.A.M.E datastream. Have you seen the technical data on the S.A.M.E. data? You would have to build your own TNC or modify something just to get it to have the right baud and tone frequencies. Nothing off the shelf will work. Just an idea. Dave / N9NLU --- mch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You need to send data in the correct format. This is like asking of a SM (or a SG) can generate packet. No, none that I know of can by themselves. I'm sure there is a way to use the external modulation port (if it has one) to inject the SAME datastream onto the signal, but I don't know of anyone who has such a generator for the datastream. As was mentioned, try the Wednesday test. In my area, it's between 11:00 and 11:30 AM, but your area may vary. Regardless it should have a test. BUT, depending on how you are interfacing the unit, and the unit you have, it may not help. My home unit displays TEST on the screen, and unmutes the audio for a few minutes, but does not light any of the WATCH or WARNING lamps. Joe M. Mathew Quaife wrote: What about a singal generator, think that would send them? Mathew On all the units that I have, they either respond to the 1050 Hz tone, or SAME, but not both. The SAME units ONLY respond to SAME codes. The tone units only respond to tone. This won't help you, but there is a code to program the SAME receivers with so they will respond to ANY alert, but they still use the SAME data - they just ignore the FIPS (area) code. To guess your next question, I am not aware of any SMs that generate SAME coding. Joe M. Mathew Quaife wrote: Thanks Mike, if the same codes were not put into the weather radio, it should not require the same codes to be sent is what I am thinking. I sent a 1050 Hz tone from the service monitor, that did not open the receiver. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Weather Radios
BUT,the weekly test wont light any LED's if thats where you are taking your signal from. Just find the high side of the led and send it to a buffer of some kind and then on to the controller input. If you want both to trigger one line,"OR" them together. I was going to upgrade my wx rx,but the receiver in my SAME radio wont hear when the repeater is up.
