Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302

[Roger White]

Our club bought the R-302 to replace our 20 year old receiver after 
lightening took it out. I am not impressed with it, especially if you 
compare it to a good old crystal controlled receiver, like a Magiorre. It 
has a real touchy squelch and seems to have some sort of a random noise 
problems.

We are going to order a Magiorre 2 meter repeater later this year to replace 
our kludge 2 meter repeater we have had for many years. I have had no 
problems with the Magiorre brand of repeaters (two 220 MHz repeaters over 
the past 10 years). I would recommend their products. Very good customer 
service.

 How well do the Hamtronics T-301 transmitter and the R-302 receiver
 work on 2-meters?  They seem very appealing because of size and ease
 of repair.  But, do they work?  Is there anyone on this reflector
 having experience with these two boards?  I sure would like to hear
 from you.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hamtronics T-301 and R-302

Lee,

I have used both modules, in the 2m, 220, and 70cm bands, and in both
standalone and REP-200 repeaters.  They work well, but the standalone boxes
that Hamtronics sells for them are too leaky, in my opinion.  The modules
work fine when mounted inside diecast metal enclosures with tight-fitting
covers, and all signal and power connections made with feedthrough filters.
The synthesized modules are far more stable than any that use uncompensated
crystals.

One important piece of advice:  If you use one of the Hamtronics PA boards,
it's a good idea to put a ferrite isolator on the output.  These PA boards
have no power control or high SWR protection, and the PA transistor is easy
to toast.

73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY
