Re: [Repeater-Builder] HF Remote Base?
Arcom, CAT and Link-Comm all make controllers that will control a modern HF radio. http://www.arcomcontrollers.com http://www.catauto.com http://www.link-comm.com I only have hands-on experience with the Link-comm's controlling a IC-706 and TS-570. -Sean On Feb 3, 2007, at 7:10 PM, drwoolweaver wrote: Any suggestions for a modern repeater controller that will also operate a frequency agile HF remote base?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Too fast squelch on GE Master
There is an article on the Repeater Builder web site about improving the stock Mastr II squelch. http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/mastrIIsquelchmod.html -Sean We are using a GE Mastr II with an RLC Club controller for our 444.600 repeater. On weak signals the repeater chops words. I have determined this is due to very fast action of the CAS turning the controller audio off and on. Looking at the schematic, U603 has internal fast and slow modes. There is an adjustment, R622 that I can't find in the book. Does anyone know how to slow down or improve the squelch action?
[Repeater-Builder] Motorola Spectra as a remote/link radio
Hi, Does anyone have any experience good or bad with a Motorola Spectra as a remote base/link radio? How does it compare to a Maxtrac in this capacity. Thanks, Sean

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Radio Tone Control
CPI Communications has several Tone Remote products as well, but as mentioned the multi-channel control equipment is mainly for Motorola and Kenwood. That said if you radio can support BCD control you might be in luck. http://www.cpicomm.com -Sean Some info can be found on the Midian site in pdf at the following link http://www.midians.com/pdf/tone_signaling.pdf Telex has some info on their site as well, but most common commercial gear only interfaces to certain radios for multiple channel control otherwise you are limited to one two or four channel remotes.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] repeater antenna suggestions
Here here!! The 1151-2 Station Master sells for around $650 and from what I can find on the net the HS9-43050 Hustler antenna sells for $500. Steve, I think your closer to affording it than you think. Do it right once and worry about it again in 20 years. -Sean If you're up on a rough site, where winds and ice/snow will break cheap antennas, take a look to see what else is on the tower. I bet you'll see Stationmaster antennas, maybe with anti-sway bars. As much as you can't afford it, how many antennas will you end up putting on the tower - and watching them come crumbling down - until you CAN afford it? Bite the bullet. Raise money somehow. Raffle off some used equipment. Get donations. Find a rich ham who can order/donate one. If you already have an investment in a good public-service repeater, do your community the justice they deserve and go with something rated for the environment you have.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwwod single band transcievers as remote (CONTROLLED) inputs
You could load up the 20 memory channels of each radios with your selection of frequencies and use the UP and DOWN pins on the 8-pin mic connector to cycle thru them. You just need to write a couple macros to pulse an output to either go up or down. -Sean On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To overcome Jack Gerritsen and his constant jamming of our repeater I have placed two Kenwood radios on the hill. I interrupted my main UHF repeaters receiver to the controller with a C.A.T. RLS-1000 3 port mixer and placed the Kenwood radios on the other two ports. The Kenwood radios (TM-241 144MHz and TM-331 220MHz) are each splitting their discriminator audio out of the mic connectors on the radios into both a TP-3200 Tone panel and a RCL-MOT squelch module. The audio from the RLC-MOT feeds the RLS-1000 mixer and all works very well. The repeater users know that when Jack starts in with his [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can send a close command to the RLS-1000 to mute the audio coming from the UHF port and Jack is gone. Jack has been quit frustrated and so he scans around the bands now looking for our users on the inputs and finds them and starts back in on them again. Once the Kenwood radios have been compromised I have to make another trip to the hill and change the Kenwood radio frequencies. I want to do this remotely and I don't want to have to buy another Doug Hall RBI-1. I think I can use a serial output from my controller (a Linkcomm RLC-3) to a basic stamp and making the controller think it is commanding a RBI-1. My problem is that I don't know anything about how to communicate to the Kenwood radios. Obviously Doug Hall figured it out but he does not want to share this info with me. I don't blame him as he would rather sell me another RBI-1 and I don't have the patents or the equipment to try and decrypt the stream that he is sending from the RBI-1 to the radios. The folks from C.A.T. also figured it out and tried to put it into their CAT-700 repeater controller but found a big conflict with their implementation so the had to abandon it. They don't want to share any detail either. Has anyone out here got the answers I am looking for? I have learned that the Kenwood radio is a typical single band radio with the mic plugged into it and it works accordingly but when the Kenwood RC-10 or RC-20 was plugged in the mic connector it supplied a voltage to pin 6 of the mic connector changing the function of the up/down pins in the mic connector to serial in/out. I need to know what baud rate I need to send the radio data. I need to know the format that the radio is expecting. I need to know the parameters that the radio is expecting. I believe that someone out here has experimented with this functionality it is way too cool. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
