Maybe he thinks he is covered by being a licensed ham Sorry, but if it transmits in the amateur authorized portion of the microwave band, it IS legal. Just because it may set off a nearby radar detector doesn't make it illegal, because the radar detector is a RECEIVER that is supposed to pick up microwave signals.(...and it's not necessary to have a license for a receiver, except for those states that make it illegal to specifically use a radar detector in a vehicle for the purpose of avoiding getting caught speeding). And radar detectors, especially the cheaper ones, are fairly broadbanded, so they will trip on signals that aren't necessarily true radar signals. I have read of some being set off by harmonics from a nearby amateur 440 MHz or 900 MHz transmitter. Regardless of what the vehicle LOOKED like, the focus of the legal situation is going to be whether or not the person was deliberately attempting to look or act like law enforcement, something none of us can determine by looking at a picture.

RE: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Simplex repeater hardware
A simplex repeater controller connected to a radio set for split operation (different TX and RX freqs) CAN eliminate the problem of hearing everything twice, at the expense of being careful not to double on the input freq. and having a delay between RX and TX. HTs or mobiles programmed reverse split of repeater radio will operate somewhat like a regular repeater, without the simultaneous RX/TX.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] snide remarks
Uhhh... coordinators DO have the authority to set the terms for whichthey will grant (or deny) a coordination.That is correct, they have the "authority" to set any terms that happen to please them, however, they have no authority, other than denial of "coordination", to prevent anyone from operating without being "coordinated".If you say the coordinator has no authority torequire specifications, then what IS a coordination? Answer: It's a setof operating conditions which must be met in order to get along withother cochannel and adjacent channel operations. That INCLUDES requiringCTCSS/CDCSS.Again, true, however, they have no authority to ENFORCE those requirements.Coordination only works because the participating parties VOLUNTEER to agree to the terms of the coordination as a means of reducing or eliminating interference. The FCC "suggests" the use of coordinating bodies because it takes the workload off of THEM !!However, it is the FCC who ultimately has AUTHORITY to decide and the power to ENFORCE those decisions concerning interference whether "coordination" is involved or not.The FCC themselves have ruled in favor of repeaters operatingCTCSS/CDCSS when all other factors are equal (both holdingcoordinations, operating within their coordinations, etc) when it comesto interference issues.See previous comment.Coordination works when (most) everyone wants to play nice, together. If EVERYONE wanted to get along, then "coordination" would be unnecessary.My nickel's worth, your mileage may vary.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] radial tire static?
While you've got the foil out, wrap some around the blades of the fan and put some wadded balls of it inside your hubcaps to become invisible to police radar !! ;) Kenneth BuleyBullitt County DES CD-2Bullitt County Red Cross BC-6Bullitt County ARES\RACES Coordinator KY4DES -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 11:39 AMTo: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.comSubject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] radial tire static? Old School. Wrap your windshield wipers with aluminum foil. When you in a static rich area you simply run your wipers to discharge your windshield. Intermittent wiper for low voltage and high speed wiper for high voltage. ---Tim Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: highest repeater site
I vaguely recall seeing a picture of an MPA/MPD as the station's 2-meter rig. Don't know if it's been upgraded or replaced since then.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Propogation Prediction
10 foot resolution ? That's kind of hard to predict unless you're standing next to the antenna. Those other parameters are necessary to predict ANYTHING. Kind of like asking a meteorologist if it's going to rain. His answer will definitely be YES. But that means it could rain ANYWHERE on ANY DAY in ANY AMOUNT. If you want to know specific details, you have to provide SOME limiting, specific information. Cable loss, antenna types, tower height, etc., all affect propogation, so that info is needed to predict what the propogation MAY be. The presence of other towers may mean that the tower owners could only afford that location, propogation not withstanding.

I looked at the samples in the website mentioned. Question...(s)... Is this a DOS program running windows or a linux program? I saw file names with formatting of each. 100m resolution? Kinda vague I was hoping for a 10 foot resolution. What if I dod not know all the paramaters to get a look at a probable site... such as cable loss, antenna types, tower height and etc All I know is that there are other towers there... Any way I'll try it but for a dial up, it'll take a day or two to download.

Gee, when did unity become equal to -0- ??? (Unity Gain - A gain of one. That is, the signal is output from a circuit at the same level at which it entered.)
