[Repeater-Builder] FS Gaitronics IRC3000 Repeater Controller Brand New
For Sale, Brand New, Never Used Gaitronics IRC3000 Repeater controller, still in the original box. This unit was purchased a while ago for a project and never used. Included with the controller are 2 interface cables that can be pinned out to your choice of equipment and the original User and Installation manual. The item may be viewed in the photo's section of this group in the bbfmrf album on page 2 titled IRC3000. I have never used this product, so I cannot supply any first hand information, but if you have specific questions, i will try and answer them via the associated manual. Per the original documentation the unit is capable of: 151 Subscribers CTCSS / CDCSS encode and decode Cross Coding Cross Banding Local Accy connector PC programmable (I do not have the software to provide, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find via the group) I am asking $100 plus actual shipping cost.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB Products VHF & UHF on same mast?
Is your control a receive only, or is it a UHF control repeater? I've seen a 2m antenna used to feed both a 2m receiver and a UHF receiver. After all, the third harmonic of 147 MHz is 441 mhz.

[Repeater-Builder] Launch to the Moon
I had this sent to me by My Brother Ret AF , I really enjoyed watching it and Listening to the Communications and seeing how much has changed now it sure brought back a lot of Memories of The Space Program , This being the 40 Th Anniversary of the Moon landing Some of the Older Members will recall like Me just setting and listening to the audio it was a Big thing , a few Ham repeaters were rebroadcasting it That sure put the repeaters to a test to see how well they were made . That was one of the questions on the Exam when is it legal to rebroadcast Music in Ham radio , and of course when it is from NASA It looks like it came from the JFK Library and it is interactive Which means We can move it to different parts . I thought I would also share the link Enjoy http://wechoosethemoon.org/ Little Off Topic Sorry I know we have a lot of our own Personal thoughts about this So PLEASE don't start a big thread about it Just for info Thanks Don KA9QJG

I'd like that information also. I know that some of the "more technically proficient" hams out there who do RF design / installation for a living use crimp only connectors, and swear by them.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: crimping vs soldering & types of coax connectors
In an attempt to bring this thread back Would anyone care to comment on and compare the tools offered by both Paladin and RF Industries, as well as the link earlier in this thread? Not cheap, but not the "several hundred dollars" either as quoted by someone above. I've had the same questions as I am also considering a "crimp only" station. For the most part, everything I've read leans strongly to the view that crimping is at least as good if not better as soldering (with the usual caveats as to quality of the tools employed). Thanks!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: DB Products VHF & UHF on same mast?
Tim, If you're just using it for control, you only need to receive on uhf. Just put up the 224 for the duplex vhf on the one feed line. Downstairs use a diplexer to pull off your uhf control receiver signal. It should work fine at that location. We used to have a short link path to a site like that for years. 73 Don W5DK -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tahrens301 Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 9:54 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: DB Products VHF & UHF on same mast?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: crimping vs soldering & types of coax connectors
Yes, buying at a hamfest can be a great savings, if you know what you are buying. That's exactly why I am asking this question. Knowing what you are buying is always the key to success at a hamfest. Those who get disappointed are usually the impulse buyers or those who have not done their homework.

My advice is to stick with a name-brand connector. Then you don't need to worry about any differences or quality issues.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] DB Products VHF & UHF on same mast?
If you have a VHF 224 just take a DB411 UHF and mount on the opposite side of the mast 180deg from the VHF loops. We do it all the time out here and works great. Just run two coax cables and all is nice and neat. Best of both worlds, you get two antennas on the same mast without using another 10 or so feet of tower space. There is only one catch, you may want to top support the DB224 antenna since you are adding additional loops.
