[Repeater-Builder] Re: what pac-rt means
Probably better I not disclose too much... but some extenders are always listening and a certain sequence of the right codes and activity on the extender's portable will remotely enable (turn on) the extender operation. The Officer/Operator can enable the extender/repeater unit from a remote location using just the portable and the right information. As mentioned before... a courtesy tone beeping back at the control head tells the returning Officer the extender package is still enabled. And of course it's not easy to drive down the road with the control head beeping the extender on tone every few seconds. No additional hardware/wiring required and the anytime remote enable feature works very well, but it wasn't installed on all brands models of extenders (vehicle repeaters). In Pyramid SVR Extenders... it's simply done in software. cheers, s.

[Repeater-Builder] Has anyone duplexed a m1225 ?
I just bought an rkr1225 repeater and as I've been reading about it I discovered that it's essentially the same radio as an m1225 mobile. I miss the days of driving around with a duplexed UHF Micor and a noise canceling mic. Has anyone tired to duplex a UHF M1225 mobile? 73's Skip WB6YMH
RE: [Repeater-Builder] Has anyone duplexed a m1225 ?
Skip, The M1225 mobile radio and the R1225 repeater are not the same, even though they do share some circuit details. Both the RKR1225 and the GR1225 repeaters contain an R1225 transceiver. The obvious difference is that the R1225 is a duplex radio by design, and the M1225 is a simplex radio by design. Also, the R1225 is almost double the size of the M1225, since the box also contains a controller and a lot of shielding. There is no way to make the M1225 a duplex radio. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Skip Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 12:00 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Has anyone duplexed a m1225 ?

[Repeater-Builder] GE Mastr ii Mobile Connections
Re: GE Mastr ii Mobile Connections We're trying to restore a GE Mastr ii Mobile Radio to original configuration, mounted on a square piece of plywood (to start off). The RF deck arrived from a local source, the control head and cable were from an Ebay auction. The control head has three white specialized Molex type 2-row connectors on the back. The large black control cable has only two of the matching connectors. Can one of you tell us what the third white Molex plug does? I'm thinking like Motorola Radios of this era the speaker and ignition sense wires might be sourced to the third missing plug assembly. If we need the third plug to restore this station original... anyone have one they'd like to sell or trade for? Just for testing RF Decks and placing the ones we have back into service we'd like to restore two or three GE Mastr ii Mobiles using most of the original parts. Is there a decent source for used cables and the control heads? Is there any source for used cables and the control heads? Thanks in advance for your replies... Email me direct if you have some old GE Mastr ii Mobile Accessory packages you want to part with (sell or trade off). thanks a mucho... cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com

[Repeater-Builder] Control Tray power Cable on MSF5000
Hello Folks, I am working on replacing a fried MSR2000 repeater. I bought a Digital MSF5000 RF Tray and Control tray on ebay but unfortunately it is missing the power cable from the interconnect board on the back of the RF tray that goes to the Control Tray. Is anyone able to tell me a part number for the cable? All of the material I have shows the power supply and stuff but it doesn't show that cable. Even a part number/name of the plugs used in the cable would be a great help, someone may even have one they no longer need..I would be happy to pay for it. Thanks in advance Paul VK2PDS

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tait UHF Standby Repeater D-Band
Duplexer is a generic term for a filter network that allows a single antenna to be used for a receiver and transmitter in the same band, such as a repeater. These usually take the form of several cavity resonators, coaxial stubs or even helical resonators in either a band pass, notch reject or band pass band reject. A single cavity may be added between the duplexer and receiver if there is alot of RF at the site and or the duplexer offers very little out of band attenuation, But the cavity has to be a low enough quality to have a pass band wide enough for both the transmit and receive frequencies. Diplexer is a filter network that facilitates a single antenna to be used on 2,3 or 4 different bands, either feeding a single radio or multiple radios. Usually constructed with L/C filter networks. A Combiner is a device which allows several transmitters, very close in frequency to use a single antenna. These are usually a dual stage circulator followed by large band pass cavitiy per channel into a passive power divider with enough ports to handle the total number of channels A Circulator is essentially a one way valve that allows RF to pass in one direction. Used in combiners and for intermod control to keep transmitters from mixing stray RF. Power refelected back from the antenna goes into a dummy load instead of the transmitter.

[Repeater-Builder] Uniden smu300k Program question
Hello I have 4 of the SMU300K UHF Radios. I thought they were the SMU300 but their is a k at the end of it. I think these are the older eprom units. Does anyboy have any infomation regarding these? The programmer that I have is the AMX 500 which works great on the newer radios. Since I thought these were the smu300 I read the radio then when I went to program it flashes 0 now. If this is the eprom can it be reprogrammed? Is there an adaptor or software to program these. I also have access to an AMx500C Stand alone programer and an AMX 190 cable. The Software version guide shows a amx191. Would it still work?

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Double Shielded Cable
Mike, My personal preference is Andrew FSJ1-50 1/4 superflex. To save on connectors you can use silver/teflon PL-259 or the new style silver N connectors that assemble like a PL-259 with a silver UG-176 reducer on this cable. Just drill a 1/8 hole through the reducer to solder to the copper jacket. Assemble the rest of the connector as normal. I have had very good results on both VHF and UHF. Often times I cna pick up a few DB extra isolation which really helps with desense on VHF where we only have 600 KHz of spacing and need all the help we can get.
