[Repeater-Builder] Outdoor Pole or Wall Repeater Cabinet - Weather Resistant
Our Club (www.CNYARA.com)is in need of a weather resistant Repeater Cabinet that will house our 2-Meter Repeater, to include all of the equipment necessary (Duplexers, Power Supply, etc) to operate. We currently have a nice interior cabinet, however it has been determined that it is in our best interest to move the Repeater outside of the structure. We are mounting on a Farm Silo the grain creates an acetic atmosphere that plays hell on electronics. I looked these cabinets up commercially and on eBay and they are extremely expensive. Any idea's? 73, Tony, KG2BV kg...@yahoo.com

Try to find a surplus Traffic control cabinet from your municipal, county, or state department of transportation. They are usually all aluminum and weathertight. Sometimes they are sold for aluminum scrap. de Lee K4LJP 73 On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 8:55 AM, kg2bv kg...@yahoo.com wrote: Our Club (www.CNYARA.com)is in need of a weather resistant Repeater Cabinet that will house our 2-Meter Repeater, to include all of the equipment necessary (Duplexers, Power Supply, etc) to operate.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Outdoor Pole or Wall Repeater Cabinet - Weather Resistant
When I worked in the paging business we had a couple of outdoor Motorola cabinets that worked OK. Maybe you can find one from someone still in the business. I've got one in the garage, but I want it. The other thought would be to stay inside the shelter and connect an outdoor source of air to a sealed cabinet. Kind of a clothes dryer vent in reverse. That way you can bring in fresh air and pressurize the cabinet to keep the acidic air out of the cabinet. 73, Joe, K1ike On 3/27/2010 8:55 AM, kg2bv wrote: Our Club (www.CNYARA.com)is in need of a weather resistant Repeater Cabinet that will house our 2-Meter Repeater, to include all of the equipment necessary (Duplexers, Power Supply, etc) to operate.

Try your local DOT. Look for a used traffic control box. The kind you see sitting on the corner of an intersection. Usually when they redo intersections they put in new and discard the old. You may need a second one for the duplexors but that's not usually a bad thing Rov Sent by Good Messaging (www.good.com) -Original Message- From: Joe [mailto:k1ike_m...@snet.net] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 06:59 PM Eastern Standard Time To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject:Re: [Repeater-Builder] Outdoor Pole or Wall Repeater Cabinet - Weather Resistant When I worked in the paging business we had a couple of outdoor Motorola cabinets that worked OK.
