Re: [Repeater-Builder] vertex ftl-1011
Just go back and forth across the front end coils for best sensitivity over the frequency spread you would like to have, and you are set to go. You should also adjust the TX and RX VCO's - the RX should be set where it gives best performance and sensitivity IN SCAN, or you will not receive all your channels in scan mode correctly. There is also a mod for locking the noise blanker on full time, that I created for my 1011's, and it works well. Good luck...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: portable/mobile GMRS repeater antenna
Hello All, I can say that I feed my antenna on my Port-a-peater from the duplexers to the antenna with Beldon mil spec. RG-214/U it is silver and I use type N connectors on it, the duplexer is TX/RX and of Crosse the repeater is a Kenwood TKR 850 (non ver. two) it can be installed in about 10 minutes and will run all day. I forgot to add one thing I have a solar battery charger that just lays on the hood of my SUV to keep the battery up. The fold over mount is from Tar Heal antennas in NC and the 20' piece of pipe came from a scrap yard. The whole key is the fold over mount. The DB-404 I had from a early GMRS repeater site before I up graded to a DB-420. The above is my whole system and it works very well. We plan to use it in Riddley Creek PA on April 17 for one of the MS-Spring walks. Very best of 73, Russ, Ham, W3CH.

Quarter inch or half inch superflex would work too, just don't know how much money a person has to invest in a particular project.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] RC 1000 Controller
If the controller gives you the beep indication that it accepted the function change, then it is automatically saved. Are you programming/changing the DTMF access code (function code) for a particular function, or are you actually changing the parameter (such as the tail beep)? The reason I ask is that in order to change either of the parameters you mentioned, programming does not need to be enabled. At any rate, if whatever you changed (and verified that it was indeed changed) reverts to default after a power cycle, then it's possible there may be a hardware problem in the controller. It is unlikely though, as they are pretty bullet proof.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Modulation Papers
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Guys, We putthree white papers on the S-COM website (www.scomcontrollers.com) written by Virgil, W0INK, that follow up on some of the discussionsabout PM and FM on these lists. Bob, First of all, please give Virgil a BIG thanks for his continued efforts on the subject. He obviously has taken a great deal of time and effort in building circuit simulation and practical circuitry to help explain this subject. My notes here aren't to serve to stir things up, but rather give input from real world observations from employing both PM and FM modulation methods (in their stock and modified form) within GE Mastr II, Hamtronics, and Motorola Micor radio sets utilized as voice repeaters. In the CTCSS and PM Paper, Virgil explains and shows that distortion results in PM systems passing CTCSS and Voice to a single stage LC modulator, like those found in radio equipment we commonly convert to repeaters. One thing that isn't discussed, however, is the distortion that will result when a (common) PM modulator is ask to follow the waveform, recovered from the discriminator, that was originally generated by a modern FM rig; again common to ham or commercial repeater operation. It is my belief that when the transmitted waveform of a FM user rig is analyzed, it will show that its demodulated waveform produces a modulating signal that a common PM modulator cannot follow. The area if particular interest is obviously in the lower frequencies. In addition, a good number of Japanese ham radios come off the shelf with nearly 1000 cycles of CTCSS deviation. This, combined with the already greater energy levels of the lower frequency voice signals makes it very difficult to impossible for the common PM modulator to keep. The result is distortion which can be heard. Again, this takes the equation one step deeper since we are talking about repeaters here. Of course, the easiest solution is to do what Virgil has shown; utilize FM in partial or whole for the transmitter expected to deal with all of this. Since the inception of this discussion some time ago much information has been passed and many have been shown the differences (and similarities) between these two modulation schemes. It has also shown that people listen and as they become more educated, expect better quality even from the simple ham repeater. These discussions have proven that people want a choice, even to the degree for companies like Repeater-Builder to offer True FM for the repeater transmitter, and better audio processing in which solutions like our Clipper/Filter Audio Processor Module resulted. Speaking of the RB Clipper/Filter, (shameless plug), it has been totally revamped packaging wise (all surface mount). If folks are interested in the particulars, I will address this in another mailing, just ask. Thanks again, Bob. Kevin Custer Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Good quality RG-8X ?
Group, My comments about RG-8X coax are based upon my limited exrperiance with it. I have never owned any or used any that I remember. The stuff that I have examined all seemed to have a very open weave to it. The only connector I know of for it is the UG-176 + PL-259 combination. It seems that is was developed to fill a gap between the RG-58 type and the RG-8 type of coax. (Of course, much if that is crap, too.) I figured the 'X stuff must be some kind of marketing ploy back in the late 70's to extract money from gullible CB'ers. In more than forty years in this two-way game I have never felt the need to use RG-8X. If '58 wouldn't do it I've always used '8. I have had great success with RG-223, a double shielded, silver plated, '58 size size coax for inside repeaters, and the good RG-214 (formally RG-9) double shielded, silver plated, '8 size stuff external to the repeaters.

Less loss for a smaller size than rg-8 size coax. While 8X is not too useful (not at all as far as I knoe) for repeaters, it is lower loss than rg58. For short runs it is ok where single shielded coax can be used. I use it for short runs on vhf and uhf for non duplexed stations where I do not want a larger cable. It works fine below 30 mhz for the ham applications. Mot sure of the power ratings without looking it up but is good for what I run. As always you can get the stuff that looks like 50% braid or some that looks to be beter than 90%. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

RG-8X was developed with a larger center conductor and the dilectric was made out of a material to allow the larger conductor while keeping the outer size about the same as rg-59. I mite add some to this: The RG8X cable is a true 50 ohm cable rather than the RG58x variants, most of which are realy 52 ohm cables. (51.5 0hm was (one of)the Mill specs back in the '40's and '50's) Now that does not seem to be too far off the 50 ohm design, but at higher frequencies it makes a lot of difference in the loss and propagation in the cable. This is why a good quality RG8X is better in some applications. In duplex applications, the shielding is very important. This is why the poorly shielded cables, such as RG8X, do not allways work well. Using a double silver plated shielded cable like RG214 is perfered. Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] RC 1000 Controller
ReRC1000..I experienced same problem you mentioned about it accepts the instruction by giving RR but it really didn't. I call the controller the fortune cookie controller because it lies to me by saying it accepted the code but it really didn't. First off, don't be afraid to do a reset on the Micro Processor. Its a pain doing everything over again but it's good for youbecause ittaxes the mind. Once started, don't stop in the programming process. There might be a little timer in there that goes to sleep if you stop mid stream and continue a few minutes later. There are two different resets for themicro P. When doing, leave ground lead on reset pin for few seconds. Don't just ground it and think everything is empty. A cheat sheet is a good idea. Again, are you sure your Table is correct for the micro P Rev you have? He changed some codes from En/Dis to a separatesel code for En and Dis. Ron is a very nice person. You give him a call in Florida and he will be glad to help you. One very important thing is to be absolutely sure your Touch Tones are correct and the encoding radio is on frequency.I have trouble with the D codes. The controller accepts by giving the RR but it didn't really accept it. Don't forget the 3 second or longer pause required between Programming Enable 1 and Programming Enable 2. When programming, everything must be perfect. If you are a little more specific I might be able to help. Am willing to try. Kevin I apologize for the bandwidth. If this is too much, holler.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] info direct tv
The rule of thumb is 100 ft. In practice, 150 to 200 feet has worked for me in a pinch without any line amp. Have gone 400+ feet on RG-11 with no problem point to point. In large buildings in downtown Chicago we use stacker systems and RG-11 and line amps to go 50-60 stories. Also depends on which dish you use and how much gain it has to start. tom W9SRV"John J.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] info direct tv
RG-11 is very close in size to RG-8. There are crimp F connectors (although I wouldnt recommend them), and Thomas and Betts makes Snap n seal augat style f connctors or it which work very well, but require a special tool. The 10' dish is too focused for directv. You will only pick up one or two of the three sats in orbit at 101. 1 meter dish max is recommended, and Channel Master (Now owned by andrew so you get the cool lightning bolt sticker on it) makes a 36" oval dish called the Gainmaster that has the three LNB head on the arm so you can recieve all three locations, 101, 110, and 119, so you get all the local programming and HD stations available now. It does a good job. You didn't here it from me ;) but very likely in the fall if you want all of the HD and locals you will probably need a second dish and new equipment. Not written in stone yet, but everything I hear seems to be going that way. They will be switching to MPEG-4 to accomidate all of the HD locals through a 4th satellite location. Let the headaches begin.
