[Repeater-Builder] Tait T800 Series II
Does anyone here have a T800 Series II Repeater for sale, or for sale soon and if so what price would it be going for, prefer with program cable and software or else if not does anyone have 2 x T2000 - 80 line interface kits going at a reasonable price i could therefore convert 2 trunk units into a mini repeater Marcus

Rather than trying to track down the exact Takigen key or key blank, perhaps a better plan is to take either the Uniden lock mechanism- or the whole radio unit if necessary- to a good lock shop, so that the locksmith can try a number of standard key blanks to find the one or more that fits into the lock. Then, the genuine Takigen key can be decoded using standard key cut procedures to determine the proper notch depths. Once this is done, we can post the results for all to see and benefit from.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tait UHF Standby Repeater D-Band
yes i do have black faced 300 series i also have a T346-03 Transmitter which is the same colour as the T856-24 Gareth Bennett wrote: Marcus, Do you realise that the Tait repeater that you have purchased has 50 KHz channel spacing? The T345 RX has a very different IF section compared to a 12.5 or 25 KHz model T345 RX You describe what probably was an ex Transpower radio link (Bearer) for protection signalling. The Transmitters were designed to run 10 Watts at 100% duty cycle. They were also configured as N+1 Hot standby links, hence the TX and RX monitor modules. The T856-24 was a custom build by Tait Electronics for Transpower NZ, as the original T346 TX modules had lots of issues with P/A's etc and were deemed too unreliable, hence the swapout to a later T800 series TX. If you are very unlucky, you have black faced T300 series equipment, The later stuff was straw colour, the same as the T800 radio. They are not particularly friendly to convert back to a conventional voice repeater, especially without the proper manuals and test gear.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tait UHF Standby Repeater D-Band
yes i am aware of this, but what i am after is if anyone has the cavity filter that is placed after the duplexor and before the aerial all depends on price of course Marcus DCFluX wrote: 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.
