Re: [Repeater-Builder] Generator question
Hello Chuck, I think I may have the same genset you have as mine was put into service in the mid 80's. My genset runs off of a 5ft tall propane cylinder which holds about 80lbs of fuel, hard to remember as I haven't needed to fill it since the 90's. If you have easy access to your genset you could use a simple heating blanket to keep your genset warm or use a homemade heat sink with a resistor loaded up to keep the main body warm. Since my site is 20 some miles away I use a homemade resistor/heatsink attached to the main block to keep mine warm to start on a thermister. Although my genset has a self-starter onboard when the AC mains fail to keep the repeater batteries fully charged. I use a bank of 10 each group 31 Optima batteries in combination to the genset to keep all the repeaters running off battery. Actually all the repeaters run on battery from the start so we have no switching issues, just need to keep the battery bank charged either from AC or genset. Group 31 Deep cycle battery: http://www.optimabatteries.com/publish/optima/americas0/en/config/product_info/commercial.html; Hope this helps.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How Accurate is Radio Mobile?
Nate, I did a h 2 h comp with the commercial s/w I have purchased for well over $10K a few years ago. The results were far more accurate with RM than the commercial stuff a few years old, and better yet it was FREE from a fellow ham radio operator. Hence my original posting regarding the use of RM to the community. For the average Ham Repeater Owner and the local coordinator, RM is the perfect tool for those types of plots of coverage. For the most part most coordinators rely on the repeater owner to tell them the coverage guess of any freq. Not All coordinators have high dollar commercial sw to coordinate repeaters. Again, Radio Mobile is the perfect tool for the Ham radio community, it's free and most of all pretty accurate as a best guess!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor Repeater is PART 95 Type Accepted
Well Joe M, lets see here The originator of the coordination topic already asked everyone concerned about the coordination issue to take it to a private forum or email list and not to burden the rest of the repeater builders with a local matter. Did anyone read it and follow Matthew's request...You apparently didn't. I think notSPAM bs to follow the list server... As for type acceptance, who cares...This forum isn't the place for people to interpret fcc crap, take it offline to an ffc forum. The forum I think was intended to support folks to build repeaters not interpret rules regulations of the FCC. If everyone were to interpret the FCC rules we would have more opinions than @ssholes giving advice. If anyone building a repeater has concerns with any equiptment they plan to use as a repeater this really falls on them to validate said equipment with the FCC as they are the actual responsible party to the FCC.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Diamond X500
Coy, the simple answer is to keep it out of the rain or move it inside a building...Hi Hi..:) Short of attempting to water proof it, most antennas don't like to be covered with anything i.e. goo, paint (metal flake or lead based) you could try a reson based paint or something like flecto varathane I think this is what we use to call it (magic goo). Depending on conditions in your area you might think about a different antenna. Looking at qrz I see your in the Hurricaine State as we see from the news, you might want to rethink your antenna configuration:0 Something more durable like a station master or something along the line of a telewave antenna. The ham antennas don't seem to weather well (no punn intended) for harsh conditions. I'm not sure if this will help but I always keep a spare antenna at my site in case mother nature gets pissed at me:) Being a inexpensive antenna I use the UVS-200 VHF/UHF anntenna at $65.00 Plus S H for the repeater.

Kevin, it still rocks! --- Kevin Custer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wow Kevin, sounds like you got a [EMAIL PROTECTED] repeater with 330 watts on 2meters. Question for you: How many watts ERP is your repeater putting out? What type of antenna will handle 330 watts? The repeater is actually outputting (and is coordinated for) 250 watts into the duplexer. Subtracting the duplexer insertion loss of 1.5 dB (or 29 %), I get about 175 watts to the bottom of the feeder which I lose an additional 1/2 a dB or so, so I really get about 158 watts to the stick (Sinclair SRL-229) which has a rated gain of 6.1 dBd, so my ERP is about 650 watts. The antenna will handle 300 watts, so I'd need to run over 400 watts for that to be a concern. I have run this station for short periods of time at the 330 watt level for testing. There isn't much difference in ERP between the 250 and 330 watt level, so I choose to save on the electric bill and keep the coordinator happy and run it at the 1/4 kilowatt level. Kevin Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 2 repeaters / one antenna
Sure, you could introduce a antenna combiner at $2000.00 a channel/port. I've used the same set up you have for many years and since it's a ham box why bother spending the big bucks for the users unless they are paying for it:) Regards, Barry --- ve3iny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have two repeaters, one running 144.67/145.27, the other running 448.8/443.8. I use a ham grade diplexer (Daiwa or MFJ or something) to connect the output(s) of the 2 meter and 440 duplexer(s) to a single feedline feeding a dual band Cushcraft colinear. This set-up works great, and the diplexer introduces very little VSWR into the system. Howver I am sure there is a more professional method of combining the two repeater duplexers to the common feedline. Any suggestions ? Yahoo! Groups Links [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: FS: GE MASTR2 VHF 100w base/repeater
Wow Kevin, sounds like you got a [EMAIL PROTECTED] repeater with 330 watts on 2meters. Question for you: How many watts ERP is your repeater putting out? What type of antenna will handle 330 watts? Regards, Barry --- Kevin Custer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: kk2ed wrote: Honestly, I have always been a Motorola person (you are either GE or Moto), and my other repeaters are all Motorola. Okay, but I'll not agree that everyone is 'either' one flavour or the other. I say this as I am (finally) rebuilding my 145.27 machine the way I want it. The repeater is a Motorola Micor Non Unified Chassis. The transmitter is built from an old IMTS paging station that originally fed 10 watts into the tube PA. I sold the Motorola tube PA to make room for the rest of the goodies. The receiver shelf was added and the control system stripped as I usually do containing only a modified Station Control Card. In addition to the exciter, 10 watt PA, receiver, and control shelf, there also resides a RC-96, DVR, and FC-900 stack. The original power supply was replaced with TPN1110B so the backup 110 watt PA could be driven under battery power. I say 'backup' PA because the main PA is a GE 4EF5A1, 330 watt station power amplifier from the Mastr Pro/II era. The GE tube PA resides in its own (GE) cabinet along with a front facing exposed metering panel and internal rack mounted Mastr II style IMTS power meter/alarm. In this station, GE and Motorola are married to give (IMHO) the best operation from one of the most powerful 2 meter repeaters on the east coast. Both are simply a joy to service. http://www.shol.com/kuggie/ahra/hmft.html Kevin Custer Yahoo! Groups Links [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] The duplexer story...
Tim, a couple of questions come to mind. 1.) Are you trying to tune a T-band Duplexer down to 440? Not reccomended. 2.) Are you running a circulator between the duplexer and the antenna? 3.) Are you using the same cables out of the repeater to connect to the duplexer (either one) and seeing a change? Barry --- Tim S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As I stated a few times here I have a duplexer that has been giving me desense. To get rid of the desense I turned down the TX power until it went away because the duplexer is rusty and hasn't been messed with in 20+ years. I came across another duplexer in a base station cabinet we had and pulled the duplexer out. Here are the specs of it: TPRD-14744 (470-512 MHz) Type: 4 cavity pass-reject Minimum freq. spacing 3 MHz Insertion loss 1.0 dB Max. continuous power 250 watts TX noise supp. at Rx freq. 90 dB Rx isolation at TX freq. 90 dB Temperature range -30 to +70C I used the tracking generator and tuned and notched it on frequency. My plan was to use this duplexer as a backup if the original one would not tune. When I checked desense on the original again it was around 10db. I pulled the duplexer and found the reject was only about -75db on both sides. I adjusted the notches and got it down under -90db but noticed it jumped around -95db then -90db, etc... I did use double shielded cables for tuning. I checked the passes and they seemed ok, so I did not touch them. Put it back in place and turned the power back up from 15 watts out of the PA to 42 watts out of the PA. The desense jumped big time to around 20db. So I pulled the old duplexer and put in the spare. Now I have no measurable desense. So that's a plus. However, I put the service monitor on the PA output and read 42 watts. Hooked the cabling up to the duplexer and then checked the output of the duplexer and only read 22 watts. That's like a -2.8db loss. I didn't think at the time to check the interconnect cable from the PA to the duplexer, but I can't imagine that having a -1.8db loss. Since the duplexer should only have -1.0 db insertion loss. When I tuned the replacement I double checked all the peaks locked them down then did the rejects. So I am pretty confident the duplexer is set right. So, in the end the repeater went from 15 watts out of the duplexer with 10db desense to 22 watts out with no desense. 1. Can something in the original duplexer go bad internally to cause the desense? Or must my tuning be suspect? 2. Think I need to worry about the -2.8 db power loss? All I can think of doing is checking the interconnect cable from the PA to the duplexer input. Another note: When I retuned the base station duplexer, I kept the low side low and the high side high, meaning I am now transmitting on what was originally the RX port since it went from a base station use to repeater. Could this be a problem if I really have -2.8db insertion loss? -Tim Yahoo! Groups Links [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Once the exact coordinates on the NAD83 datum, and the height of the tower in meters, have been determined to the accuracy required by the FAA, a request for an Aeronautical Study is filed with the FAA. The FAA will investigate the hazard to air navigation, if any, and will issue an order to the tower owner as to what lighting and/or painting- if any- is required. Don't forget that towers or buildings used to support antenna structures may need to be registered with the FCC as Antenna Structures. Regardless of the height of the tower, it may need to be registered with the FCC if the FAA determines that it is or may be a hazard to air navigation. I went through this whole process for a 404-foot tower on a military base, simply because my Amateur Radio Club falls under the FCC- but the military normally is beholden only to IRAC and NTIA. Judging by the multi-million-dollar fines being levied on cellular and broadcast companies who ignore tower lighting and painting rules, this is not an area where anyone should assume anything.

Dennis, I had one of those repeater a few years back and found out the only way to control PL or any tone i.e. on or off was to have an external board such as the TS32/64 running with my controller. If you need one of those controllers drop me a line I'll send it to you, I think I still have the TS32 or 64 board. Unless your repeater is linked to another machine with the controller or you like the Beeps Boops of a controller why not use the internal controller and be done with it? If the repeater is in anything other than COR your repeater in the ham band would be in compliance with Part 97.x. Keep it simple, run CTCSS with the internal controller and make it a talk box, it has been several years since our repeater had a phone patch (Thank's Nextel).

With SERA requiring all repeaters to have tone access to be coordinated, the club wants to add tone access. The question is, Can you use the decoder in the vertex and have capability to turn it on/off with the cat-300dx (if yes how do u wire it) or is it better to go ahead and add a ts t-64 wired directly to the cat-300dx? I've been told the repeater itself has both a builtin controller and decoder. Can they be used seperatly??? Thanks in advance, Dennis ki5fw Yahoo! Groups Links [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Jim, I thought I'd drop you a line. I respect your thoughts on protecting the dealers, although most dealers tend to gouge the [EMAIL PROTECTED] out of the ham radio market as we only buy one or two repeaters at a time. Granted, this is the way things work in the real world. Dealers are looking for big sales like a P.D. to make any money, most buyers would request a price break after xxx units bought:) Not here where I live:) These morons pay list price for 500 units of M gear xts5000 stuff...off subject someone is in bed with someone:) Here is my thoughts on the subject, if I have a dealer that wants say $1500.00 for a repeater and another dealer offers me the same gear for $1100.00, I would buy from the guy not charging me list price! Since Kenwood gear is of such high quality I would be very surprised if it failed and had to be returned for warranty repair unless it was a lemon or got blown up by the ham radio owner. Either way, the unit would be send to a Authorized service center, not some dealer with a magic screw driver and an ohm meter to figure out what blew up. I'm luck I have a deal that will sell me any product of Kenwood for dealer cost plus 5% and S H here so I have no problems with my commercial ham stuff... After speaking with my dealer I was informed that all warranty repair items send to him were to be sent to an Authorized service center not him for repair and he would be reimbursed for his shipping cost. Therefore I can only assume the dealer your referring to that gets burned for repair in a moron... I suggest your moron friends of Kenwood get in touch with Kenwood to follow up on return policies as it appears to be in the dark. Regards, Barry --- wrote: Richard W.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Jim, your right Kenwood does attempt to protect it's dealers with an internal policy to purchase products from local dealers. This policy is Kenwoods, NOT mine, therefore I need not follow it! Fortunately this is America and we are able to choose from whomever we want to purchase products from, even if I have a Kenwood dealer right next door to my location. Your definition of legit is inaccurate and insulting to the buyer of Kenwood products. Regards, Barry --- Jim B. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thats a mistake! Don't buy anything within your State get stuck paying taxes...:( Stick with the high volume dealers out of State. WRONG WRONG WRONG. The ONLY legit way to buy *new* Kenwood LMR equipment is through one of the dealers listed on the website. They can direct you to a more local dealer if you wish (what you get is a regional dealer), but Kenwood has a policy in place that it's dealers are NOT allowed to sell outside of their assigned area, and NOT direct sales on the internet, to protect their dealers. It is also important to work face-to-face with the staff. Support your local businesses! They are the backbone of the industry!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Hi Joel, the typical 750 dealer cost is around $1000.00 give or take $100.00 so when you get your quotes from dealers you'll know who is giving you the best deal. I would recommend Skipp's radio service shop here in California for the best deal or at least an honest deal.
