[Repeater-Builder] Any info on programming and mods on these Relm radios
Anyone have any info on programming these radios? I aquired 2 radios with a repeater control set up as a repeater but not finding much info. There is some confusion because Relm has an older RMU45NB and then the newer version. I have the older version with a keypad on front. I tried the mod on the Relm group but it is not the same as mine. Thanks Steve N4YZA Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz
As someone else suggested, contact a paging company. Just be sure to test it, as some were used in combined transmitter situations and may have had 1000+ watts applied to them. Lightning damaged was also a problem. With paging companies folding and downsizing, you may even be able to find a new spare antenna.

[Repeater-Builder] Flash Technology Tower Lighting
Hello All, In return for free tower space our ham club baby sitsa 360 ft. guyedtower. Looking for anyone with real-world experience with Flash Technology FH-324 red/white flash tower obstruction lighting. In the 18 month period following new installation all three red 'beacons' have failed. Tower mounted flash heads have a coupling transformer, trigger transformer, RC network and flash tube. In red beacon failures how often has trouble been in components *other* than the flash tube? Is ittrue red flash tube shelf-life is six months or less? What has the real-world life expectancy (in operation) of the red flash tubes been? FYI, trouble was isolated to the flash heads by swapping cables at the Power Controllers. Trouble stayed with the flash head. Flash heads failed in succession over a period of 4-5 months. Moderator: If this is too far OT don't hesitate to kill. TIA... Doug Zastrow YAHOO!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Flash Technology Tower Lighting
Doug, I hope your Ham club did not accept any responsibility for the operation or maintenance of the tower lighting, because some of the most severe fines and penalties are for failure to have the tower properly lighted. Fines of $10,000 per day have been levied for lighting violations, so you should avoid even the appearance of being responsible in any way for such equipment. That said, it is not normal for strobes to fail in such a short time. Although I have no experience with Flash Technology equipment, I do know that most strobes in continuous operation should last at least two years- if they are operated within their specifications. If too much power is dissipated in the flash tube, its lifetime will be profoundly curtailed. It is possible that the technician who installed the strobe equipment simply left the power setting at maximum. Contact the manufacturer for specific technical information. Information and links about the lighting requirements for towers can be found here: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/lighting.html and the FAA Advisory Circular can be found here: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/736f762742f45ab9862569ee0077ef5e/$FILE/AC70-7460-1K.pdf When a flashing beacon atop a tower fails, the FAA Flight Service Station must be notified immediately so that a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) may be published to warn pilots of the danger. The penalties for failure to report a tower light outage are severe, and the liabilities for an aircraft accident resulting from collision with an unlit tower can run into many millions of dollars. Most tower owners invest in automated monitoring systems that will send a pager and telephone notification to the responsible people and to a central alarm office when an outage occurs. If your tower does not have a monitoring system, someone should visually check at least once each day to ensure that the lights are working. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Doug Zastrow wrote: Hello All, In return for free tower space our ham club baby sits a 360 ft. guyed tower.

I have my transmit antenna up already thanks to the now defunct Link-Two Communications. They left me holding a bill for several thousand dollars in back rent on the tower.

I have to admit, this transmitter is one of their later models that was actually pretty good, they still sell them under a different name but still in League City, Texas.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz
I printed the spec's, but hadn't had the time to actually sit down look at them. I agree, with a 50 watt limit, that is dis-appointing. Also, I think Comet Diamond over-rate thier antennas, so perhaps we should not count on putting more than about 25 watts into them. -- Original Message -- Received: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 04:53:47 PM CST From: Mark Tomany [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz John, Did you notice that these are rated for 50W max??

To do what you want you will need to find an encode-decode version of the board you have (ending in G1, G2 or G5 - the G5 will do split tones), an encode-decoder model of a different board the 19D432500 is the dip switch board, and is covered in LBI-31056. The G1 board is the encode-decode board, the G2 is encode-only, G3 is decode-only. Or you can just add an external encoder. Several are available, or you can build your own - years ago, I made my own encoder from a simple one transistor twin-T oscillator with a one-transistor buffer amp. Using polystyrene caps and metal film resistors gave me an encoder that was stable from 30 degrees to 120 degrees F. Mike WA6ILQ YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "Repeater-Builder" on the web.

OT, long and boring-WAS RE: [Repeater-Builder] Flash Technology Tower Lighting
Doug and Eric, I will add a few points here, I own and run a 500 foot tall tower in Texas. I purchased a new TWR dual mode strobe system ($17,000.00) along with the tower. At the time it seemed to be a good choice, hindsight is 20-20. The first two years the red mode system never ran for more than 4 months at a time, TWR was at my site 7 times those first two years. They made one last trip at the two year mark, I have to admit they did all of these repairs to this point under a one-year warranty. At two years they reworked all the hatchplates and replaced all strobe tubes. The system ran for eleven months and went out again. The only problem I ever had was the red mode night strobes, the day mode worked fine so I let it run in the fail-safe mode because I did not have the money to fix the system. TWR had quoted me $1,500.00 per hatchplate to repair the system, that did not include the tower crew labor. After two years of running in the fail-safe mode the whole system crashed and burned. I could look up at the strobes and see what looked like flames, I shut the system down and turned in a NOTAM, Notice to Airmen. About that time I asked the Tower Pro group what they thought of the system I had, not much good was said. I also found out that the white strobe fail-safe mode does not satisfy the FAA or FCC as to tower lights at night, I was actually in violation of the FAA rules! After several NOTAM's and several calls to TWR with quotes starting at $1,500.00 per hatchplate finally going down to $500.00 per hatchplate I gave up and got more advice from the Tower Pro group. They guided me and told me what I needed to look for. I had a tower guy come and remove all hatchplates and bring them down to the ground. Once on the ground it was obvious what was wrong, the cheap terminal strip used by TWR had completely burned up from the 600 volts positive and negative DC that made the system work. TWR sends up those two voltages plus a trigger voltage to fire the strobe. I ran the manufacture of the terminal strip down and their specifications said the strip was only good to 500 volts, you get the picture? Very poor design! I contacted a Tower light company in Tennessee called ITL, they had all of the aftermarket parts I needed to get the system back up at a price of $26.00 per hatchplate, again, get the picture? TWR has a tremendous markup on their parts! I sent the hatchplates back up the tower, the guy connected them and they have been running solid (knock wood) for almost two years now. One other thing, the tower lighting industry (TWR and Flash Tech) are trying to petition the FAA and FCC to make the use of Non-OEM parts in a tower lighting system a violation, sort of like Motorola tried to do back in the late 70's and early 80's. Motorola tried to get the FCC to make a rule that only Motorola parts could be used in the radios to keep them type accepted, that ploy did not work then and I hope it does not work now. Most private tower owners can't afford Flash Tech or TWR prices, not to mention their reliability. Like Eric said, be very careful, the way the rules are written, every licensee on the tower is liable for up to a $10.000.00 fine if the lights are not working properly. Also, be very careful with the red mode LED technology, the advertised 5 year warranties on these systems are not being backed by some of the companies that sell them.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention Input Wanted.
skipp025 wrote: Dayton Hamvention Input Wanted. My friend Tom is directly involved with the Dayton Hamvention. His position in the 2006 year project is more toward the public relations side. He has asked me to poll you folks for new ideas, opinions and information for the 2006 Hamvention. The primary goal of this poll is to source ideas, which will be used to make the whole Hamvention event more attractive to non-hams... ie spouses and persons not normally attending the Hamvention. The quesion is: What would it take to get your spouse to want to come to the Dayton Hamvention or spend time in the Greater Dayton Area while you attend the event? We're looking for ideas regarding things we can offer at the Hamvention and off site. One example might be a special shuttle service to available local shopping, tours of historical locations and culture. A list of good pubs would work! ;c) Jim WD8CHL Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz
I've never seen a 146/220/440 antenna that I would feel comfortable putting into repeater service. I have used a Comet GP-15 on 146 MHz 440 MHz with good results, it is a tri-band antenna which also happens to work on 52 MHz but I have never used it on 52 MHz. -- Original Message -- Received: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 08:52:31 PM CST From: Paul Finch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz John and Group, We have been looking for a 146 MHz, 220 MHz and a 440 MHz tri band antenna for an installation here in our local fire station.
