Thanks to all who replied. It appears I was asking too much for the set ($1200), and I have been informed that everything else is pretty much worthless except for the duplexer. So, I have decided to scrap the hardline and theantenna, trash therepeater and take offers on the cans. If your interested, tell me what you'll give me for them. Email for pictures.

[Repeater-Builder] Quick CW ID'er

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Quick CW ID'er
Here is an item that usually runs on eBay from N0XAS. ID-O-Matic Repeater, Echolink, Beacon, Foxhunt ID Ider: URL for current items he offers is: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZn0xasQQhtZ-1auction I have found this seller to be very honest and very eager to please. He offers a nice kit. I don't know if this is what you are looking for. I bought the older one just to have around, and it is easy to program with a terminal program and serial cable. With this setup, you could plug into the mic and speaker jacks on a HT, or a microphone jack or a mobile rig or repeater. URL to download the .pdf manual/assembly instructions: http://www.hamgadgets.com/images/ID-O-Matic-manual.pdf Hope this helps. Description below: ** NEW - just released - V2.5! Version 2.4 added courtesy beep, a repeater beacon timer and a separate beacon message available in repeater mode. Version 2.5 goes even further: Separate audio tones for ID and courtesy beep, PTT hang time, and a PTT watchdog timeout timer. All ID-O-Matics now have an on-board 5V regulator. Same price - more features! The ID-O-Matic is a multipurpose, PIC microcontroller based project that nearly everyone can use. In its most basic form, it's a simple 10-minute timer with audio and visual outputs to remind you when it's time to ID. But wait, as they say -- there's more! How about an intelligent, variable delay timer that announces your call sign or any other message, in Morse code at a speed you choose? How about CW keying and PTT outputs so you can attach it to a fox transmitter, Echolink setup, crossband rig or repeater? And how about inputs for squelch or COR to make a repeater IDer that works the way you want it? And how about a serial interface to connect to your shack computer, laptop or terminal? And how about a Morse keyboard mode that sends text from your keyboard in Morse code? It's all there. Sorry, no Ginsu knives or fruit peeler included. The ID-O-Matic can meet a pretty wide range of needs. Out of the box, so to speak, it makes a nice little 10-minute ID reminder. It will light up a green LED until nine minutes have passed. The LED then turns yellow, and at 9 minutes 30 seconds starts blinking yellow/red. At ten minutes the ID-O-Matic beeps at you until you reset it with the pushbutton, then starts over. Using the built-in RS232 serial interface, connect it to a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulation program (Procomm, Hyperterminal, etc) and you can use the very simple menu interface to set your own delay from 1 second to over 9 hours - no programming or special software required. You can control when (and if) the LED turns yellow and when it starts blinking. You can also choose between the default beep, or just type in your call sign or any other message up to 64 characters long to hear it in Morse code. When in CW ID mode, ID-O-Matic will send the message, then automatically reset and start timing again. You can also select repeater mode. In repeater mode two additional inputs can be used to control when ID-O-Matic sends your Morse code ID. You can use a squelch, COR, PTT or other signals of your choosing. You can also choose to have the ID-O-Matic announce at set intervals even on a quiet channel; for example, ID every 10 minutes while the repeater is in use, and once per hour when it's idle. There's even a second beacon message available, in case you want a short ID during use and a longer message (for example, call sign and location) when the repeater is idle. The ID messages and courtesy beep can have different audio tones from 250Hz to 3kHz, and there's a user-settable watchdog PTT timer to keep stuck mics or long-winded users from hanging up the repeater or link. In Morse keyboard mode, text you type is sent in Morse using the speaker, CW and PTT outputs. Letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, AR, BT, SK and punctuation ( . , / ? @ ) can be sent (yes, even the new @ sign). You can also use the + and - symbols to increase or decrease the code speed in the middle of a message if you want. Regardless of the mode used, the PTT output is active 500ms before and 100ms after the CW ID, and the CW output can be used CW transmitters, tone generators, etc. Both PTT and CW outputs have open-drain MOSFETs rated for 60V. Speed is variable from 5 to 60 words per minute, and the audio pitch is also variable via the menu. This auction is for the ID-O-Matic kit that includes the ID-O-Matic chip along with a high quality, double-sided PCB with silkscreen and solder mask, female DB9 serial connector, all needed resistors, capacitors, and transistors along with a dual-color LED and the same little micro speaker used on the PicoKeyer kit (the speaker mounts off-board). There's an on-board voltage regulator so you can use a convenient power source like your 12V shack supply. All you need to supply is a project box, DC power source, and a couple of switches. This is a kit, and

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Quick CW ID'er
Bill, Cheap is not always best. The easy solution is a Communications Specialists ID-8, which costs about $70. Go here: http://www.com-spec.com/id8.htm Since most mobile radios have DC power at the mike connector, you can simply crimp the ID-8 flying leads into the appropriate modular plug. You may need to install a jumper inside the radio to bring the activity signal to the ID-er, so that it won't perpetually key itself. Some of the very inexpensive ID-ers have little or no RF immunity, and don't operate properly when close to the transmitter. The ID-8 is a versatile and reliable device. I have several in service. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wa9ba Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 4:10 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Quick CW ID'er Has anyone came up with a cheap easy CW ID'er for a GR 500 repeater?

[Repeater-Builder] Switching PL on and of on a TS-32
I decided to try the method someone suggested for keying the repeater transmitter encode PL on and off with active COS. I switched the ground connection on and off to key the TS-32 PL deck. This works, except that when the tone turns off I get a sound that is best described as squeege as it shuts off. I assume this is the oscillator loosing voltage and the tone changing frequency.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Switching PL on and of on a TS-32
That's what I do -- gate the audio line. I usually use a 4066. Be careful on the levels because the 4066 can cause distortion if hit too hard. Some controllers will gate it for you, but not sure what ones do (LinkCom doesn't).

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Switching PL on and of on a TS-32

You may need to install a jumper inside the radio to bring the activity signal to the ID-er, so that it won't perpetually key itself.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302
Our club bought the R-302 to replace our 20 year old receiver after lightening took it out. I am not impressed with it, especially if you compare it to a good old crystal controlled receiver, like a Magiorre. It has a real touchy squelch and seems to have some sort of a random noise problems. We are going to order a Magiorre 2 meter repeater later this year to replace our kludge 2 meter repeater we have had for many years. I have had no problems with the Magiorre brand of repeaters (two 220 MHz repeaters over the past 10 years). I would recommend their products. Very good customer service.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302
Lee, I have used both modules, in the 2m, 220, and 70cm bands, and in both standalone and REP-200 repeaters. They work well, but the standalone boxes that Hamtronics sells for them are too leaky, in my opinion. The modules work fine when mounted inside diecast metal enclosures with tight-fitting covers, and all signal and power connections made with feedthrough filters. The synthesized modules are far more stable than any that use uncompensated crystals. One important piece of advice: If you use one of the Hamtronics PA boards, it's a good idea to put a ferrite isolator on the output. These PA boards have no power control or high SWR protection, and the PA transistor is easy to toast. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee Bahr Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 9:12 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302 How well do the Hamtronics T-301 transmitter and the R-302 receiver work on 2-meters?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?
Rick, The front view shows the PA board, which confirms that your Micor is a 60 watt, intermittent duty base station, with a non-unified chassis. The repeater version has additional shielding and filtering to permit duplex operation, but many units are able to operate full duplex without them. However, the cover for the PA is missing and should be replaced. The Micor VHF stations were made in four basic splits: 132-142, 142-150.8, 150.8-162, and 162-174 MHz. Obviously, the 142-150.8 MHz, AKA the M split, is the most desired for 2m application, but the most common split found on the surplus market is the 150.8-162 MHz split, AKA the H split. There are bandpass filters in the exciter and the PA that are different between the M and H splits, and may need to be replaced or re-tuned to perform optimally on 2m. The RBTIP on this site is a goldmine of information for converting a Micor station to 2m. Although you did state that the station was already set up for 2m, it does happen that a group will simply re-crystal the station and find that it seems to work okay after tuning- but it never performs as well as it could because of these filters. It may be that all of those mods have already been performed, but it never hurts to check! 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Stirling Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 12:18 PM To: Rick Stirling; repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?

If it were a repeater station, there should be shield plates covering the receiver. It might also be a paging station. Look for any numbers stamped in black ink along the edges of the backplane and on the power supply or on any sheet metal parts. Any string of three letters and four digits, usually starting with T, are important. Also look for any tag or label with a number of the form C53RTB3106A (the letters and numbers may be different) which is the model number. Some overall photos of the front and back will help a lot. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Linking Suggestions Please
One problem you need to address when running wires between sites is the possibility of different ground potentials, especially during an electrical storm. Ideally, something that provides isolation should be used, such as transformers or even optical devices. If the two buildings are well grounded and connected to each other, that will help considerably. Metal conduit might also be worth the effort as it will provide shielding and a ground connection to all the cables. A couple of laser communications devices might also work. Totally immune to lightning damage, and it would be a fun project. Bob M. == --- Robin Midgett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with the others.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Hamtronics T-301 and R-302
One important piece of advice: If you use one of the Hamtronics PA boards, it's a good idea to put a ferrite isolator on the output. These PA boards have no power control or high SWR protection, and 73, Eric Is there a story there..? :-) cheers, skipp ps: the Ramsey amplifier kit is also in the same league and should have some protection added. I'm afraid to admit that I know the Ramsey kit also makes a nice mixer circuit if you put it direct to an antenna. Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] ID this board....
I picked up a GE Station card at the hamfest yesterday and need help IDing it. Stenciled on the board is 19D417752P1. On the metal plane inside the ID is 19D417760G1. On the front it has a meter that shows on one side -20 to 100+ with a RED dash at 70+. The other side show 2 scales in one. One is 5 dashes below zero (no numbers) and goes up 5/1, 10/2, 15/3. Red test jack for 10v (FS is there too). One switch has INT and EXT. Another has RX and TX. What is this??? :-) Robert Try Juno Platinum for Free! Then, only $9.95/month!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Switching PL on and of on a TS-32
Hi Joe, Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I decided to try the method someone suggested for keying the repeater transmitter encode PL on and off with active COS. A very popular function to have working when using remote IRLP or Echolink link radios. I switched the ground connection on and off to key the TS-32 PL deck. Not a good practice... This works, except that when the tone turns off I get a sound that is best described as squeege as it shuts off. I assume this is the oscillator loosing voltage and the tone changing frequency. Anybody else have this problem? There actually are/were tone burst circuits, which depended on the above mentioned operation. I've got some data sheets and circuit diagrams for them in my files. I'm about to just go back to switching the PL audio line and leaving the TS-32 on all the time.. 73, Joe, K1ike Better to just leave power applied and mute the encoder output using a portion of low pass filter U3 circuit. Use a small fet like the 2N7000 or the same VN10KM (also VN10LP) (same fet, different number) with a low on-resistance to mute the audio output line to ground at some place like the junction of U3A parts R35-C21 - or the input to the U3A filter atthe junction of parts R26-R27 C20. Ground one of the mentioned locations when cos changes and the encoder output should halt. cheers, skipp Yahoo!
