Re: [Repeater-Builder] Retune Phoenix
If I might make a suggestion, you may want to consider a Motorola Mitrek. A friend of mine built the NC7J DX Cluster Node several years ago. http://nc7j.qrq.com/site_description.htm When he did, he asked me what radio would be good for this job. I suggested a Mitrek. We originally looked for one that was the lower government split so it could be easily tuned for 421 MHz. Those proved hard to come by so I tried tuning a standard 450 - 470 MHz split radio. I was stunned by how well it worked, without any noticeable degradation in TX or RX. The conversion to 9600 baud packet was a snap too. This was around 7 years ago and the radio has performed flawlessly. Also, you can pick up a Mitrek for 10 or 20 bucks at a swap meet.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Retune Phoenix
Seems like a bunch of Canadian Railroad Phoenix's hit the market. They were around 415 Mhz and would just tune to the bottom of the 450 US business radio service.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Retune Phoenix
There are 420 versions of these radio's but the 450 ones will mostly go to about 433 -435 without significant degradation. They do not go well below 430 Govt versions of 406-420 are preferred at 421-425. There are Phoenix's and MVS as well as MLS/MLS II in this split. Commercial banded ones are mostly from Canada and our area of Cleveland and Detroit as 420 is commercial band above line A in our areaBuffalo too I have a couple 420 MVS's and maybe some Phoenix SX versions if you looking for them...

[Repeater-Builder] Retune Phoenix
What is the lowest possible frequency that one could expect to retune a 450 to 470 SX Phoenix and keep it stable with usuable sensitivity on the rx? What I am wanting to do is get one down to the 421 to 425 range. What about a MVS to do the same? Thanks, Dale K0JXI Yahoo!
