Re: [Repeater-Builder] WX-200 with CAT-1000
Mike, I'm doing just what you want but not with a CAT1000 but rather an SCOM 7K. I have the audio from the WX200 being fed into one of the three ports on the 7K and have made that port the lowest priority. This way, we receive all of the weather reports from the WX200 but if someone has an important transmission, they can talk right over it and the controller priority by port does the rest. It works perfect. Last night in my area of New York, we must have received a dozen watches and warnings for severe lightening. Everything worked flawlessly just like you desire on your system. Does the CAT1000 let you prioritize ports? Adam N2ACF At 20:59 6/16/2008, you wrote: My club is considering the purchase of a WX200 to go with our repeater/CAT-1000. One of the questions posed was whether a repeater user can talk over the WX transmission. I'm thinking that the controller can be configured that way, but since I'm on-the-road I don't have access to my books. Can anyone provide me an answer so I can get back to the executive committee quickly? Thanks, Mike WM4B
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Programing issues, my SCOM 7K's DTMF tones
Hi Skip and all the guys! The 7K is working just fine. It seems that I have locked out all responses, all the id's are off, no time announcements, no normal announcements (I was programming it to do just that, minimum responses!) The weird thing right now is the controller hears the DTMF, mutes when it decodes the DTMF, but is not executing the commands. If I send a macro to tell me the time or turn the system on or off, (on the phone line or over the air) the 7K mutes the tones, but doesn't execute the command. I did not change any of the priorities of the receivers, just shortened up everything so that when this weekend's special event happens, the 7K system is a linked/slave to Tom's 7330. We are linking 3 or 4 systems together for a special event. I just do not want to hit the MAGIC BUTTON . COLD RESET!!! Anyway, it looks like I fat-fingered something, and a reset is called for, I just don't really look forward to it. My 7K is more than a decade old, was a version 1.14 now its a 2.03b. It is rock solid. It is the heart of my system, controls 2 repeaters (the other system is also now in this same condition too!) I love it!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Wanted to buy: Panasonic CF-25 laptop or equivalent for radio programmming
A simple solution to your dilemma is to pull the drive and connect it with a $12.00 adapter to a modern 3.5 ide drive bay desktop computer, format the drive as fat32,copy the win98se directory off of the cdrom to the 2.5 laptop drive.. stick the laptop drive back into the laptop.. boot from a dos boot floppy made in xp, and execute the setup program on the hard drive in the windows directory... you do not need the cdrom if you have all the cab files Most decent computer stores offer 2.5 (laptop) drive adapters either to USB or IDE so you can connect them to a standard desktop to work on them or copy to/from... My CF-27 has no cdrom, but XP can be loaded in a similar process more or less, however the folder involved is the I386 folder from the install cd... The CF27 will take a lot bigger drive than 2 gigs.

[Repeater-Builder] Re:Anyone familiar with the LDG RVS-8 Voting system?
Hello Tyler, I am pretty sure the voter require discriminator (flat RX), in order to evaluate the SNR correctly. Using pin 11 on Maxtrac is fine but make sure you change JU551 to the A position. (see http://batlabs.com/maxrad.html 9600 baud packet conversion) You will probably have to de-emphase the audio signal out of the voter, to feed your TX, unless you have a flat TX input available. 73, VA2MAA
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Anyone familiar with the LDG RVS-8 Voting system?
I am building a large repeater system here in SE Kansas for SkyWarn and I am wanting to use the RVS-8 Voter. Our system uses Motorola Maxtracs for pretty much every aspect of our giant 15 county coverage repeater. Has anyone successfully used Maxtracs with this Voter? If so, how did you interface them? Rear panel connections throught the 16 pin jack. Like most people. In the case of Kenwood TKR-820 Repeaters I had to make my own interface board. The voter has room for up to 8 sattelite receivers. I have a bank of UHF Maxtracs all tuned to different frequencies as the link receivers. They are all identical, and have 16 pins on the rear. I had planned to use PIN 8 COR and PIN 11 audio to feed the voter. COR is in ACTIVE HI on the Maxtracs, as such in the voter. Might be better to build and include a simple logic buffer circuit. One properly selected and applied fet or transitor circuit would probably work very nice. The trouble I am having is getting PTT through the voter to be consistant, and by this I mean, only light PTT when there is an incoming COR signal from one receiver. It seems like the COR light on the voter is pulsing all the time, and when a good COR is detected, the COR on the voter goes solid and I can see the SNR counter go up when I talk through it.

I had a bad tone pad some years back... Make sure all the other ports are inactive... Try a simply id command with the master password and force it with the pound sign (if you have it enabled).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Anyone familiar with the LDG RVS-8 Voting system?
I've found that not every I/O pin in the 16 pin accessory connector is created equal, though Pin8, IIRC is one of the good ones. The bi- directional ones are a bit goofy since regardless of input or out put configuration, both sets of electronics are connected, but I've had more problems with output only...

RE: [Repeater-Builder] WX-200 with CAT-1000
Adam, I didn't know it until today, but yes. On the CAT-1000, port 1 had priority over port 2, so if I hook the WX-200 to port 2, I'm good. The only hitch is, we're planning on linking 2 repeaters and we'd need port 2 for the link. I can solve that problem by using a relay on the link receiver (using the COS line) to give the link priority over the WX receiver. As I explained to our president. it'll be a work-in-progress.

That's not true Michel... per the manual: They type of audio used from the receivers can be just about any type as long as all of the receivers use the same audio. Audio types that are acceptable are line level and speaker audio. Also, it does not matter if the audio is de-emphasized or not as long as all of the receivers are the same. It goes on to mention that audio response is the biggest challenge, try and get the audio response the same on all channels for best performance. http://www.ldgelectronics.com/manuals/RVS-8Manual.pdf Lee --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, VA2MAA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Tyler, I am pretty sure the voter require discriminator (flat RX), in order to evaluate the SNR correctly.

This latest scam email requests not only the CP-200 radio price and shipping... but now they're gettin' greedy asking for prices on Thuraya Dual-Mode Satellite/GSM Phones. Once in a while I reply with a crazy price quote and they fire back with a list of Visa Cards to charge the purchase toward. I used to call Visa and tell them about the problem... but the Visa Card Corporation has their head firmly planted and there is no easy way to turn in a fake charge report. Master Card seems to be much better... So... what's in your wallet? cheers, s.

Oh... about once every month or so I receive the scam email requesting radio equipment prices and availability for a quick purchase using a credit card. Every one of these quick credit card purchases seems to be a scam... The funny part is almost every email scam request is for a bulk purchase of Motorola CP-200 radios... Does the third world only know of Motorola CP-200 portable radios?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: software repeater controller
Well, I think the point here is that you use what you like. I would never use Vista on a repeater box even if I had too. I also would not use Linux either.
