Re: [Repeater-Builder] mods.dk (possibly OT)
Mike; I am impressed! It is remarkable that you would remember so much detail after all those years. You are correct in that I had two HT-220's. One on the police frequencies and the other on the amateur band. I generally carried both and they were identical except the amateur band unit had a touch tone pad on the front. On occasion I had three of them with the third one being in the DEA frequencies. Great coverage on UHF with the DEA repeaters on the Terminal Tower in Cleveland. I could get into the system from downtown Canton with the HT-220 and rubber duck! I guess it pays to take time to speak with young people. You never know what may result from a few minutes of conversation. Thanks for the information. It has made my day. Perhaps We will see each other again some time. P.S. Danny and I often would do talks together and I would switch off and get a uniform car to impress the kids. I guess I never realized how much effect it might have. Danny is not in good health but his spirit is still good. 73 and take care.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] A Good 440 Anttena
Chuck is correct. The 413 is 18 ft 4 inches long and is rated 12 dB gain and rated to survive 1/2 inch ice at 90 mph. The 411 is 9 ft 5 inches long , 9 dB gain 112 mph wind with 1/2 inch radial ice. The 408 is 6.6 dB gain and will survive with 1/2 ice at 85 mph. The 420 is 9.2 dB gain 18 ft 1 inch long and rated to withstand 70 mph with 1/2 inch ice. They are all good in my opinion. I have used them all including the DB-404 and they have survived the NE Ohio winters. even with the 420 top mounted on towers but there is a lot of flex at winds above 60 mph. I never had an antenna bend but did have on installation where the 420 was top mounted and the pipe that it was clamped to bent during a storm with gusts in excess of 70 mph. As far as which antenna to use - It depends on the installation, HAAT, top mount, side mount, omni pattern, etc. Rich WA8DBW http://www.wa8dbw.ifip.com - Original Message - From: "Chuck Kelsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] A Good 440 Anttena > > I think my wife stole my Decibel catalog ;-) > > The 413 is 8 elements and the 411 is 4, right? > > If you're going to side mount on a tower, use either.

[Repeater-Builder] 440 4 Pole Antenna
I hope Chuck Kelsey sees this - - - About 15 or twenty years ago there was an article published in either Ham Radio or perhaps 73 magazine on the construction of a 440 4 pole antenna. It was written by Chuck WB2EDV if my memory is correct. I built one for a friend and he has removed it from his tower for maintenance. He is now ready to place it back on the tower legs and asked me what the spacing is between elements. Well I cannot fond the paper work. I think it was 23 inches on center. Chuck, is that correct?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Member Deleted?
Kevin and all; I am not often moved to post as I try and remember that which was told to me as a child - "Richard, you have two ears and one mouth so it would behoove you to listen twice as much as you talk. Also be mindful of the fact that the ears are always open and can except input at any time. However, the mouth has a flap on it and it is ok to close it occasionally." With that in mind I will try and be as brief as possible. I am surprised at the implementation of a poll to decide ones continued membership. I believe the decision should be made by you as the list owner. I am of the opinion that whomever is determined to be disruptive to the list or, continues to use the list to promote that which is not related to the purpose of the list, should be warned to cease and desist. They should be told what the consequences will be in the event they fail to comply. If that person continues then they should be banned from the list. I liked Doug's posting regarding free speech. It is refreshing to know that in this day of so many being concerned about "political correctness" that there are some (Doug Bade) that have not lost site of reality and that which is right or wrong when it come to force-feeding ones beliefs and opinions on another. There are many on this list involved in communications as a business. Doug and his dad Cliff W8CJB, own Cleveland Communications and I have never known them to exploit their membership in this or any other list as a means to promote their business interest. While we all may be grateful for a business owner to mention goods or services that they may be able to provide to list members, there is a fine line that should not be crossed except on rare occasions. I believe that line has repeatedly been crossed by some. Those that are guilty should be warned one time. As stated in the first paragraph, if they continue then banishment is in order. Now I go back to the listening/reading mode. 73 to all Rich WA8DBW Richard D.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 802.11b wireless
Nate is correct in that the frequencies listed were the center freq of each channel. There are 14 channels. And yes, I forgot the decimal. Oh well I am old as well as tired. The channels overlap each other in that they are 22 MHz wide ( NO decimal) One can do the math and see which channels edge falls outside the Amateur band if you wish but if you do not run an amplifier, who cares. If my memory serves me 802.11 concept began in the late 80's and there were two forms approved by the FCC. One was DSSS (Direct Sequenced Spread Spectrum) that is used today and the other was FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) that consisted of 75 channels spaced 1 MHz apart and traffic jumped between those channels. In 1999 the industry selected 802.11b as the standard with its max 11 Mbps. Of course we now have everyone pushing the 802.11g that have a maximum of 54 Mbps but we seem to forget that many access points use 10 base T Ethernet connections so you are limited to 10 Mbps anyway. Remember as the signal gets noise due to low signal strength the speed is decreased. I use 802.11g but often have only Mbps speed due to low signal strength. Still pretty fast as I have seen T1 that was only slightly higher is speed. With a good antenna it possible to get amazing distance. I have sent video with p1 picture to my brother Jim,KA8HAK over in Akron 16 miles from me. I was using 1 watt into 140 feet of 7/8 hard line to a 3 foot dish at 85 feet. He was using a home brew 44 element linier yagi on a tripod 7 feet in the air fed with LMR400! Until last year I had an FM repeater (2.411200 out / 2.431200 GHz in) on the air. It also ran 1 watt and had a 20 meg split. Worked pretty good but there were only three of us that could transmit. Jim KZ5AW, my brother Jim KA8HAK, and myself. Perhaps one day I will put it back on if equipment become more reasonable and others become interested. Oh well - enough of the rambling and at least I said something about repeaters.. 73 P.S. Nate, I am glad I gave you a laugh at the no decimal. One of my goals is to make someone laugh each day even if they are only laughing at me! It was a good day as is most of them..

Just use an encryption key and they will be quite secure from anyone not authorized. If you have 2.4 GHz phones or video links in use you may have to hunt for a channel that is not prone to interference. Probably one of the higher frequencies. Richard D.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Doug Hall RBI-1 question
Ken; I have a DH that feed remotes on 146, 222, 440, and 1292 and have on occasion had them get confused. This has always been after a hit on the power prior to my installing battery backup. When the reset is don all it will do is default the DH RBI-1 to the first remote. In my case the 2 meter one. When an inquiry is done and the controller responds with, in your case, 146.520 the remote will be placed on 146.520. Also if a reset command is sent to the controller it will also place the remote on the default frequency. I use a Link Communications RLC-3. Richard D.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Sharing a receive site
Should work fine. I have a site that has receivers for my repeater on 146.085 and, 146.04, 147.735, 147.870, and147.930 Mhz as well. They are all using the same antenna that feeds a multi-coupler that feeds each receiver. The multi-coupler makes up for the loss that would otherwise be there due to adding all of the extra receivers. All use links to the respective TX sites. Linking is either in the 220 or 440 bands. There are no 2 meter transmitters at the site other than a frequency agile remote base (2 watts). The site has Amateur repeaters on 927.5375, 444.200, 224.320, 1292.200 Mhz (each duplexed) and a comercial 5 channel trunked system. There are also remote base transceivers on 440, 220, and 1.2 Ghz.
