RE: OT Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Failure to communicate.....
That is the great thing about ham radio... so many modes, so many projects to pursue! We have such a diverse hobby that there is something for everyone. I try to practice the old live and let live philosophy... to each his own. I just enjoy building devices, testing them... and refining the design until something else catches my eye. Most of my old projects sit on the shelf gathering dust until field day, or a demonstration event. Then you get to show off your work, and let the new guys (we work hard to interest the young folks) have a peek of just how much this hobby has to offer!! I have ATV gear that hasn't been powered-up in over 3 yrs, but I keep it because I built it from scratch and the kids need to know that you can do anything you want to in life. All you have to do is be willing to work for it. For the most part, ham radio and project building instills these values.. values that seem to be dwindling in our society these days. Build away.. learn all you can. Just don't forget to pass a little along to the new guys. Not ranting, or preaching... Just happy I found the hobby! Although, my wife likens it to an addiction.. ;-) 73 Mike K5JMP www.k5jmp.us -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Rice Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 11:26 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: OT Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Failure to communicate.

Of course, they don't seem to get that they could just un-key briefly and listen and re-key without the added comment every time, and it'd be a LOT faster. They're probably worried that someone else will mash their way in during the slight un-key -- they're all so quick-keyed about things.

Just unkey the damn radio momentarily and keep going, and learn to have a normal-paced conversation where ten people don't need to talk at the same time!

[Repeater-Builder] What is A Repeater??
I just spent the past hour [in between two cups of tea] reading ALL the posts from this list [from Friday], had a really good laugh and almost fell otta my chair here in the shack with quips like, at our VE sessions, state up front that you are not allowed to copy dots and dashes and then go back and decode them,We have a local examiner who not only requires 100% solid copy... he also requires you to send as well, they didn't need to attach their amplified microphone to their new 2 meter rig, Failure to communicate. turn up your squelch, I can't hear you is another one!, Ahh yes-the tinfirgudbudy crowd. Or as we like to call them, the 'light-bar brigade'.Turn up your volume. I can't hear you, Turn up your RF Gain, you arent using enough power to get into the repeater. On, and on ,and on and Just last week I was listening to a conversation on one of our local 440 UHF repeaters and the fella often instead of saying, yes, or Roger That or OK. He often kept repeating, 10-4!. Now indeed I just have to make one or a few comments then throw out a way for everyone on this list to educate these newcomers to the ranks of Amateur Radio. My comments are that I got my Ham license back in 1959 [I was a CB'er before I got my Ham tix and not ashamed to admit it] and was tested in front of an FCC examiner [641 Washington Street the old federal building, NYC where the twin towers were built and once stood]. I did the Morse Code testing having to receive and send back then, at 5wpm for the Novice then 13wpm for my General!. I have seen how attitudes have changed these past 47 years [February was the month I tested] yet the hobby still is the BEST on this planet, even with some of its faultsand I still ONLY have a General Class tix! That will change come July when I test for my Extra and its about time!! So having said that, regardless on where the person started [citizen band frequencies aka 11-meters], or some guy or gal named Joe Schmoe or Sally Three-Fingers that can't count to ten, or know the difference between a 1/2 wave and a 1/4 wave mobile antenna or is shown a resistor and can't read it [you know, the colored bands around the device]. We as the so-called Oldtimers [I'm 62] need to help these folks succeed in their quest to be the BEST Ham Radio Operator they can be. This will ONLY come from education, hand holding, on air conversation through your local friendly repeater and sidebars of one-to-one sharing of experiences and knowledgeagreed? So as I go outside to pull the weeds, cleanup the front yard landscaping rocks otta the gutter [the kids like to roll their bikes on my property with CCR's] and other Honey-Do's. I'd like to come back to this list this afternoon and see that indeed some of you can select a topic and educate the many new Hams in the fraternity.OK? So answer this thread [if you are bold enough and have the time] with some educational thoughts and experiences about Repeaters. What is a repeater, how does it work, what components are used to make up the system, what does the COS circuit or PL circuit do in a typcal repeater, how much power is normally required to access a typical repeater from the mobile, why do Hams NOT use an amplified microphone in the FM mode and finally, how and why is it necessary for a typical repeater to ID [CW or voice] and the operator to ID as well every ten minutes and NOT with every over or exchange of conversation. Many, many subjects so pick one, pick any subject of your choice and have at it. I'll be back.best 73!! Doug W7FDF Vail, Arizona U.S.A. PS: I am a former two-way shop owner from the NYC area, have been designing and building repeaters since about 1979 and operate three Ham repeaters here at my home [449.925, 448.450 and 927.8500] still employed [in my third career change] as a Tucson Bus Operator the past 12 years...so why can't I afford a Golden Screwdriver?he he he Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] GR-500
What all do you get for the $1200? I have a GR300 (basically the same repeater), turned the power down to 21 watts, on solar power and only paid $250 for it (not a scratch on it). Brand new I was told the GR300 sells for around $1200 to $1500. Just FYI. What controller comes with it? They come new with an option of 6 different controllers. Rod Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GR-500
Phil, The GR500 Repeater is a wall-mounted unit that incorporates the familiar R1225 full-duplex transceiver. It comes with a thermostatically-controlled fan and a power supply, with space to install a mobile notch duplexer. Of course, such a duplexer is useful only when the TX-RX separation is around 5 MHz. The same R1225 radio is also used in GR400, RKR1225, and GR1225 repeaters. If the GR500 is brand-new and comes fully equipped and programmed, $1200 seems like a good price. I have three R1225 repeaters in service, two on VHF and one on UHF, plus a portable repeater on a widespread 2m pair. The radio is available in either a 1-10 watt model or a 25-50 watt model. It is an entry-level, no-frills repeater that has a built-in controller and Morse ID-er. It's not especially sensitive, but it works and is relatively inexpensive. The UHF repeater has been operating on solar power for over three years, sitting on a cold and windy mountain ridge. Depending upon the band and frequencies you intend to use, the GR500 may or may not be a good choice. I'm curious about your specific needs, and why you picked the GR500. Please elaborate... 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kf6mxk Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 4:42 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GR-500 Our club (San Bruno Civil defense Club) is thinking of purchasing a Motorola GR-500 repeater.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: What is A Repeater?
You want buttons? Here's buttons: Yaesu FT-8500 with the FS-10 (all-in-the-mic) remote control system. Must be something like 30 buttons, a joystick, and four rotating controls (volume and squelch for each band). But they forgot the ECHO!!! hehehe I have one in the mobile. Took a bit of getting used to (my hands have a tendency to push buttons and spin the volume controls while handling the mic) but it is nice to not have to reach for the radio head while driving...

[Repeater-Builder] NHRC-4 Controler
Hi need a bit of help please. I am trying to setup an NHRC-4 to work with 2 Ge Rangrs as a 6mtr rptr. I have connected the Rangr loudspeaker O/P to the nhrc primary a/f input, and the nhrc primary tx a/f to a small amp, so I can hear the tones, cw id etc. I made JP3 and applied 12v for a few seconds, then removed JP3 and from another radio tx,ed into the rptr rx. I the tx,ed again and sent dtmf 1234 to set the password, but I never got the CW OK signal. On the nhrc there are 5 led,s a yellow, green and red, then another green and red. I take it the yellow is dtmf received this is lit when I send dtmf tones. The green is CAS and red is TX primary channel. The 2nd green and red are CAS and TX secondary channel. I take it the CAS is only needed to make the nhrc key the rptr tx and is not needed to program the controller. So any ideas as to why I can't hear the tones, id,s etc 73 Steve M1SWB Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: NHRC-4 Controler
Do you have the CAS hooked up from your receiver on the radio thay you are using for the receiver? If not that would be my guess as to why the controller doesn't know that you are talking to it. 73 and good luck AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Steve Bainbridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi need a bit of help please.

Well then I guess things have changed since my book was published in July of 1994.

[Repeater-Builder] NHRC-4 Controller
Hi small problem, I think. I want to use an nhrc-4 controller with 2 Ge Rangr mobiles as a 6mtr rptr. I have connected the controller audio in got primary channel to the rx loudspeaker output, and on the controller tx a/f out I have a small amp, so I can hear the tones. CW id etc. When I tx from another set to try and set a new password on the nhrc the yellow DTMF received led works OK with each dtmf tone sent, but I don't seem to get any CW OK from the tx af or any cw id. There are 5 leds on the nhrc a yell. a green, a red them another green and red. I take it the 1st 3 are for the primary channel ie dtmf received, cas and tx, and the last 2 are cas and tx for secondary channel. I take it the CAS is only needed to key the rptr tx and any setup can be done by jst inputing the tones on the primary channel. Ideas please 73 Steve M1SWB YAHOO!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Alinco Ham Repeater??????
Chris, They make EXCELLENT repeaters for ham use. We have a pair of Alinco DR-235 220mhz radios on our repeater. I interfaced them to an ACC RC-85 controller. The TX drives a TE Systems 100watt amplifier into a 6cavity sinclair duplexer. The RX has an ARR pre-amp with great results (little to no desense @ 100watts). Highly recommended.Andy KC2GOW__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "Repeater-Builder" on the web.
