[Repeater-Builder] Re: M2 CAS

2005-02-23 Thread edctexas


I have used high band IFAS in UHF and visa versa with out much ado.  
The injection chain needs to be thought about, i.e. one may need to 
change injection side to stay in the tuning range.  I am not sure 
about low band IFAS especially those with NB.  I would guess with out 
trying one out that this might need some mod.

The other point made was a good one.  There are known porblems with 
doing a repeater in a standard MII mobile chassis.  That's one of the 
reasons the E chassis was done (along with others).  One of the 
reasons the amp on stations was mounted on the back is for servicing. 
The other reason is it solved some ground current problems in certain 
station configuration.  If you want a ham repeater try the mobile.  
If you want a commercial grade repeater, use a station chassis with 
the continuous duty amp or a fan cooled mobile amp.

Its just my opinion, other may differ.

I'd start looking at the audio response from the source first. It sounds 
like there there's a low pass that's passing too low.
Look at the audio going into the controller with a scope. There should 
be very little variance in tone level up to about 250-300 hz. It also 
need to be a VERY clean sine wave. If there's even a little distortion, 
it won't work as well.
Maybe the detector in the receiver is a bit out of alignment? I see that 
all the time.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Remote Receivers and Optimal Use of CTCSS

2005-02-23 Thread skipp025


Depends on what equipment you use. Many rf linked 
voting sites are made of commercial repeater 
equipment, which easily strips and re-inserts 
the sub tone. 

In a commercial system, strip and re-insert is the 
desired method. The above method reduces the 
variable, often extra hot tx ctcss deviation levels 
often found in out of the box ham radios.

[Repeater-Builder] Going got Rough, Forced to change Freq, Need Answers

2005-02-23 Thread w9mwq


Well it seems that I am told I have to change frequencies, has it 
that one of my users interferred with the same troublesome repeater 
I've had all along, and now the coordinator says I have to move.

Not sure how well all the equipment will handle the change. Here is 
what I have as equipment, and will it all make it there.  We are 
moving from 146.925- to 145.410-, and the expense is the last thing 
I needed right now.

GE MASTR PRO ER41 Receiver
Vocom Amp, tuned for 146.925
and then to top if off, I just got the phasing harness for the DB224 
and it was cut right for 146.925.
My main transmitter is the (no arguements please), Maggorie HiPro 
transmitter exiting 2 watts to the vocom amp.
TX RX Duplexers.  

How low in frequency will the MASTR Pro go before I loose quality 
sensitivity, right now, it's about .15 uv with a preamp, and 
receives excellent.  The vocom amp is model #VVC200-2ref and was 
designed for the 146 Mhz range.

I'm sure the duplexers should not be a problem, other than getting 
them re-tuned.  Thoughts!

What anger's me the most about this, is that the repeater owner went 
straight to the coordinator, did not bother to talk with me.  I 
changed the PL of the repeater.

Other sad part is, the user that was getting into their system was 
not getting into the main receiver, but rather a remote site.  I 
wonder how tight his receiver really is, and is it a synthesized 
radio, or something of quality.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Remote Receivers and Optimal Use of CTCSS

2005-02-23 Thread Mike Morris WA6ILQ

If you regenerate PL you will end up with two PL decode
time delays, the first at the outlying site, the second at
the voter comparator site. Multiple cascaded PL decoders
will cause unacceptable pickup delays - figure a worst-case
scenario of 2/3 of a second per decoder - do you really want
your users to have to squeeze the PTT and have to say to
themselves one thousand and one, one thousand and two,
OK, now I can talk.  Unless you are desperate never put
more than one PL decoder between the user and the system
transmitter.

One of the systems I helped set up used 146-to-420MHz
at the outlying sites with the discriminator audio fed to a
brick-wall amplitude limiter fed to the link TX modulator.
The link RXs were 420MHz Maxtracs.  Up to this point in
the hardware the entire system was carrier squelch. The
main user PL decoder (100hz) was on the voter output
and fed the PL decode line of the repeater controller.
This way if you came up with 100hz any RX would work.
Later the individual link Maxtrac RXs were programmed
for different PLs and diode OR'ed together with the main
user PL decoder. The unique PL tones were intended for
the repeater committee members to RX test site coverage
with but ended up with the users using them as well.  If
you came up with, for example, 107.2Hz only link #1 RX
would open, or 123.0HZ brought up RX #3, but the OR'ed
PL decode lines caused the repeater controller to see a
PL decode signal and the system came up.  So for the
cost of programming the Maxtracs for active-low-PL
decode and a few diodes the system had remote system
diagnosis... it didn't take knowing the 420mhz link
frequencies and a scanner to determine that, for example,
the south receiver was numb the end-user could use his
HT with the proper unique PL tone and see how quieting
they were.

[Repeater-Builder] Packet over voice repeater

2005-02-23 Thread Robert Purvis

I'm looking for a simple way to repeat packets heard on a VHF frequency
and retransmit on UHF (and vice versa)

I don't want to set it up as a digipeater.  Just a simple audio,  what goes
in one end goes out the other audio repeater.

It would be a simple task just to hook up two radios as a cross band
repeater,  but COR-PTT response time will lop off first few bytes of data.

I have considered using a digital delay circuit to delay AF until such time
as transmitter comes up to full power,  and I've also considered a using a
pair of TNC's connected to PC comm ports,  and delaying read of receive comm
port buffer by enough time to allow transmitter to come up to full power.

But before I do anything,  I wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck
with other ideas,  before I reinvent the wheel.

Thanks in advance ...

 Perhaps the best answer is to see what the public-safety agencies use at
 sites with several dozen UHF repeaters within a few hundred meters.  In
 my area of Central California, the most common repeaters are Motorola
 Quantar and MTR2000, or Kenwood TKR-840.  The brand of the repeater used
 is driven by the brand of mobile and portable radios being used, since a
 Kenwood mobile radio will not mute quietly on a Motorola repeater, and
 (except for the Professional Series radios) vice-versa.  While many GE,
 Vertex, and Icom radios will mute quietly on a Kenwood repeater, that is
 not a given.

 While selecting top-quality equipment is important, there is a great
 deal of engineering that must go into the design of a repeater at a
 dense site.  Logical placement of antennas is important; you don't want
 to put your antenna right next to an antenna that has a harmonic or
 subharmonic relationship to yours.

 My personal preference is to use large-diameter cavity bandpass filters
 on both RX and TX, double or triple ferrite circulators on TX, and
 nothing but double-shielded cable or hardline throughout.  The Number
 One Rule is that nothing but an on-frequency signal can get into my
 receiver, and nothing but an on-frequency signal leaves my transmitter.
 In an ideal world, all of the repeaters at a dense site would be
 designed to follow this Rule.  Alas, such is not the case...

You're talking about (if I'm not mistaken) 1200 and 1800 Hz signals -
well within the voice passband of any repeater. A properly set up
standard repeater will pass packet fine. Your larger issue may be key-up
delays. Still, a good digital voice delay should do the trick, but I've
not done that part and don't know how well they will handle packet data.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Remote Receivers and Optimal Use of CTCSS

2005-02-23 Thread Bob


My thanks to all for the input!

Our club repeater (W5UK/R 444.2) is currently a Mitrek converted to
repeater service with a homebrew WB2WHC voter (GE MDX as 2nd rcvr). 
The plan is to recycle the homebrew voter to our 6M machine and
replace it with a pre-made multi-channel unit (probably the LDG since
the budget is tight).  We'll use MDX's (gotta shelf-full) as  voter
rcvrs and Mitreks (another shelf-full) for the remote links.  As I said
before, we'll run flat audio throughout; I'm currently building
limiter boards for the main repeater and the links.

Our geography here is flat, flat, flat and the repeater is mounted
500' up the WWL-TV tower, so we're hoping that with a boost of output
power (currently only ~20 watts) and some strategically place
satellite rcvrs, we can solidly cover the metro New Orleans area and
get rid some problem spots.

Again, thanks for all the expertise!

sensitivity, right now, it's about .15 uv with a preamp, and
receives excellent.  The vocom amp is model #VVC200-2ref and was
designed for the 146 Mhz range.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Sinclair duplexer question

2005-02-23 Thread Eric Lemmon

John,

In order to convert your Q202G duplexer to 2m, you must change the cable
harness.  The loop assemblies are identical for the two versions, only
the harness is different.  Of course, the loops and the notch capacitors
must all be adjusted when the longer harness is installed, and this is
best done on a network analyzer.

The standard harness for the 150-174 MHz band measures about 12 between
the centers of the cavity tee connectors.  The harness for the 138-150
MHz band measures about 14 between centers.  You can purchase the
low-split harness directly from Sinclair for about $120.  Visit
www.sinctech.com for more information.  Be forewarned:  Not all of the
Sinclair sales staff is aware that there exists a low-split harness. 
You simply cannot tune a Q202G duplexer into the 2m band without the
longer-lead harness.

 Am tuning a Q202G duplexer up. It was originally set up for the 161 meg

 transmitter loss. Over 2 dB.  The manual from the site does not say anything 
 about harness lengths.  Do I need to change the harness or anything else?

Thanks Ralph, appreciate it.  I figure it would, it was the least of my

The Master Pro RX will work fine down there.
We used to use a Master Pro repeater for a 144/145 split repeater without
any problems.

Not sure how well all the equipment will handle the change. Here is
what I have as equipment, and will it all make it there.  We are
moving from 146.925- to 145.410-, and the expense is the last thing
I needed right now.

Hello Matthew - I am curious if you could give me the call or the location of 
the other repeater in relation to where you are.
I also have a repeater on 146.925 and am only curious if your complaining party 
might be one that I have heard going 
ballistic when the band opens slightly and they start getting interference. The 
one I'm referring to uses no P.L. at all.
