[Repeater-Builder] Remote decoding card for motorola tone
I'm looking for a schede or the scheme of a decode card to power on, power off or change channel of the TX radio of my motorola repeater. It ought decode the digital tones of motorola RX radio and give the command to the TX radio by the rear pin. Can anyone help me? Thanks Marco Yahoo!

If you don't have a 16 button keypat you don't have a full pad. also you can download a simple dialer that generates DTMF from the sound card of a pc and you can use it to program the NHRC2 OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT TAKES DTMF and the program is free...there are many. You can even store DTMF strings for sending complete commands from one button. 73 AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Richard W.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater Controllers
If a controller has the features that are required, then it really doesn't matter if it's a half watt the size of a cigar box OR a 110 watt GE MASTRII, or a KW what ever. I own and use three NHRC2 controllers. I bought the first, after the QST article ran in February 1996 (1996 I think). With out the first problem, glitch, or upgrade that is great. I bought and paid for all three, and I haven't been asked for the reference. Jeff and his partners have always been there when I have had a brain drain and needed help. 73 AC0Y Trustee, Owner Operator of the Walt Disney World Area Echolink repeater 145.110 -600 Node 86585 --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, DCFluX [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Go with an NHRC for a small repeater or the Arcom for a big one, You will thank your self in the morning.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Telewave TWPC-1005-1 (Was DCI Band Pass Filter)
Eric, Thank you for the explanation of the TWPC-4508-2 bandpass filter and its application. This is the way people like me who have been playing with this stuff gets straight info on how things really work without spending wasted hours at the repeater site. I thought this filter could be hooked either as a pass or notch cavity. The FM broadcast station is very close to my 2 meter repeater antenna. I thought proper approach would be put FM TWPC-1005-1 cavity in my Rx side of my duplexer to notch out FM station. Or, should I put a DCI filter in line someplace. Or add a pass cavity on Rx side. What happens to the RF rejection on a filter such as a DCI for 2 meters when the freq you want to reject is say 46.205 mhz away from 2 meter repeater input. How much attenuation does a filter such as a DCI provide at these far away freqs? I don't want to be boring for those who are in the know. But I am aware there is a lot of good knowledge here. Not everyone tuned into this reflector is an expert. That's why many are here to help us guys learn. Thanks, Gary K2UQ Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Telewave TWPC-1005-1 (Was DCI Band Pass Filter)
Gary, You're welcome! While it is possible to convert a bandpass cavity into a notch cavity by changing the coupling loop(s), it is always better to engineer the system with the proper components. So, put the TWPC-1005-1 cavity on the shelf for now, because it's not going to do anything for this problem. That said, in this particular case, it might be instructive (and possibly productive) to try the DCI filter in the receive side, between the duplexer RX connector and the receiver input. I have just scoped a DCI 146-4H on my network analyzer and found that it has a flat passband between 144-148 MHz with about 0.6 dB insertion loss, and about -109 dB response between 88 and 108 MHz. If you have double-shielded cable and good connectors between the DCI filter and the receiver, it might just work. It's certainly worth the effort to try. I'd be a lot happier if it had N connectors instead of SO-239s! 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY --- Gary K2UQ wrote--- Eric, Thank you for the explanation of the TWPC-4508-2 bandpass filter and its application.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Controllers
I have read several replies to this post, and have seen one of the heavy hitters when it comes to repeater controllers go unmentioned. S-Com industries, IMHO, builds one of the best products that money can buy. We have had multiple 5K and 7K controllers on the air for 10+ years without a single failure or software glitch - ever. If you put the new Vyex DAB with the 7K, you have a controller that is truly hard to beat. I have no connection to S-Com, other than being a very satisified customer. 73, Kevin, K9HX Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Moto GM300 - Deviation Control vs Limiting
Eric Lemmon wrote: Joe, I certainly agree that all makers SHOULD do this, but the Kenwood TK-350 portables used by my local police department mix the tones in with the mike audio, upstream of the limiter. I've had to tweak the deviation on every radio I test. I guess Kenwood just wasn't thinking, during the TK-350 design phase... 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY The last shop I worked for supplied 50-60 or more TK350's to a local mfg plant, using MII's and later TKR-820's, with one RCA 1000 rptr for a while.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Controllers
Kevin Berlen wrote: I have read several replies to this post, and have seen one of the heavy hitters when it comes to repeater controllers go unmentioned. S-Com industries, IMHO, builds one of the best products that money can buy. We have had multiple 5K and 7K controllers on the air for 10+ years without a single failure or software glitch - ever. If you put the new Vyex DAB with the 7K, you have a controller that is truly hard to beat. I have no connection to S-Com, other than being a very satisified customer. 73, Kevin, K9HX I was about to say the same thing. The 7K, while a bit more expensive then what the original poster is likely looking for (but still much cheaper then Link), it is by far the most flexible and reliable controller out there right now. And they have a new one coming soon! -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL (and no, I don't have any connenction to them other than I own a 6K, and am heavily involved in rptrs with a 5K and a 7K, all of which have been in service for over 10 years without even a slight bump.)

I have to agree, I have had a 5K and a 6K on the air for many years now and never, never had a glitch or failure. It has to be one of the most stable and reliable controllers on the market. The only fault I can find is that there is no RS-232 port to talk to it. Programming has to be done via Touch-Tone command. 73, Joe, K1ike Yahoo!
