[Repeater-Builder] Re: S-Com 7330 Controller
Be sure to join the 7330 Beta Yahoo Group, and search earlier messages in that group. Also look in the FILES section in the Yahoo Group site. About a year ago, I took the entire 7K vocabulary (same as the ACC and Link Comm) vocabulary, sampled it, and converted it all into a custom vocabulary file for the 7330. With this file loaded into your SCOM 7330, your 7330 (like mine) can be made to sound just like an ACC or Link Comm controller. The original 7330 SCOM vocabulary remains with the 0xxx and 1xxx word numbers, but you gain the TI sounding words at slots 3xxx and 4xxx.

Here's how it's done in the 7330. As shipped, the 7330 has about 1,600 standard words stored as individual sound files. The owner can add up to 13 minutes of recorded audio in the form of 1 to 2,000 additional sound files (the recordings are created with a PC and sound card, then the finished sound library is loaded into the controller through one of its serial ports). The recordings are internally stored in flash memory as 8-bit, uLaw-compressed samples. When a message is played, the samples are converted back to linear format and sent to a 16-bit D/A converter and 5th-order lowpass filter. Each D/A can access the combined stored recordings at any time, which means the controller can identify all three transmitters with different voice messages at the same time. 73, Bob Bob Schmid, WA9FBO, Member S-COM, LLC PO Box 1546 LaPorte, CO 80535-1546 970-416-6505 phone 970-419-3222 fax www.scomcontrollers.com -Original Message- From: terry dalpoas km...@...

Someone in the club liked how my RLC 1 Plus sounds and he wants one that sounds like it, but less expensive. Yes, it's real speech, much like the 210. It also has the means to upload sound files (well, they need to be converted), so it can say about anything you want it to.

James, I have the S-Com 7330 and I like it very much. The command language is simply and easy to learn. The serial computer interface is great for setup; I have a text file that I upload to the controller. Hardware build quality is first rate. Interface options made it very easy for me to connect to my Mitrek repeaters and Midland 223-MHz link radio. I have a 2-m repeater running on Port 1, the link running on Port 2, and a 6-m repeater running on Port 3. Because of the extensive path circuit definitions I can run any combination of linked or stand-alone ports; simple and efficient. The on-board delay is adjustable so I hear no squelch tails and no DTMF on the repeaters. The pre-recorded voice is articulate and sounds very professional. The Scheduler works well, although it outputs on Port 1 only. The next software update (loaded easily via file transfer through the serial port) will feature my own voice on .wav files. In addition, the Scheduler will output to any port, not just Port 1 only, so that I can get my messages on the 6-M repeater more easily. In short, I am a very happy S-Com 7330 user.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: S-COM 7330
Thank you everyone for your input. I have searched google, read mail archives, and simply cannot find anywhere one problem or negative comment about the controller. I think I'm sold.

Anyone out there using an S-Com 7330? Looking for any input on their reliability and operation. We have 12 of them in service and adding more as time and money allows. That says a lot right there. We've replaced (upgraded) previous models including the 5K, 6K 7K ALL of which have been some of the most reliable controllers we've ever had. I wish I could say that about some other newer generation units out there on the market. The new 7330 is a great unit. Full of features and flexibility. The support is outstanding and the price is right. When Bob company put something out you know it's going to be built to a high standard, work right the first time and be hassle free. We'd love to see more ports on future models which they have discussed making a reality. Firmware feature updates come out and keep making them an even better product. I don't think you'll be dissapointed; we certainly haven't been. Hope this helps. Tom,N6MVT www.carlaradio.net
[Repeater-Builder] Re: S-COM 7330
Just installed mine last week.. All I can say is it's my best controller yet... Looks great in the rack, jumpered configuration makes installation a breeze, and the price is almost too good to be true (but it's not), support has been excellent... Can't say any of this about link-comm... Scom has definately won me over! --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, James Adkins adkins.ja...@... wrote: Anyone out there using an S-Com 7330?

It looks great Bob... can't wait to see when they become available for sale. I'll probably be right there at the order desk when they're ready.
