Subject: [Repeater-Builder] New VHF MSF-5000 Owner Questions
>
> I just recently picked up a VHF 125-Watt MSF-5000 base station at a local
> government auction, the model number is C73CXB-7106B. From some of the
> research I've done on the internet, I understand that this is a base
> station, 125 watts, and the PA deck model number corresponds to a 146-174
> MHz split.
>
> Has anyone on these groups put one of these MSF-5000s on 2-Meters (144-148
> MHz)? I have several MICOR, MASTR II and MSR-2000 base stations and
> repeaters in service on 10M, 6M, 2M and UHF, but this the first time I've
> ever looked at putting an MSF-5000 into ham radio service.
>
> Can this radio be programmed to be a Repeater instead of a Base Station?
> One of the techs in our radio shop said that there is a choice in RSS to
> select whether the station is to be a Base Station or a Repeater. If so,
> is
> it just a matter of setting the necessary parameters in RSS and bringing
> out the transmitter (PA deck) and receiver antenna leads to separate RF
> connectors?
>
> If it will go to 2-Meters, can it be programmed for any frequency within
> the 144-148 MHz band?
>
> Does this unit require a PROM to be programmed, or is it all done with
> RSS?
> We have a lot of 800-MHz repeaters at work, and we do have the latest RSS,
> programming cables, RIBs, etc. I spend much of every day working with RSS
> for Spectras, MTS-2000, and lots of other Motorola radios, and now those
> that use CPS, like the XTS, XTL, etc. series radios. So I feel comfortable
> using RSS, and have a shop full of people that use it on MSF-5000s
> regularly. We just don't use them on VHF, only 800-MHz.
>
> Thanks in advance for any advice on using this station. I haven't fired it
> up to make sure that it works, I've been planning to use RSS (if that's
> what programs this particular station) to see how it's currently setup.
