Re: [Repeater-Builder] Bridge Com Systems CS540V repeater information.
sold one or two for 2 meter use and yes was able to get them down to 144. with a software update John - Original Message - From: Eric Lemmon To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 10:45 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Bridge Com Systems CS540V repeater information. I have a BridgeCom UHF repeater, that I bought for testing. I must assume that it is very similar to the VHF version. It comprises two Maxon mobile radios in a box, with a Samlex power supply, two cooling fans, and a rudimentary controller. I consider it to be a low-tier and inexpensive, basic repeater for low-volume traffic, perhaps comparable to a Motorola GR1225 or Kenwood TKR-750. I found some bugs in the programming software, which the BridgeCom engineer promptly addressed. Some issues, such as the Morse ID code speed which exceeded the Part 97 limit of 20 WPM, had yet to be addressed.
