Re: [Repeater-Builder] Low band Maratracs on 10m

2008-10-21 Thread Bob M. 
Read the MaraTrac articles. Modify the programming software and see how it 
works. You might have to add some ferrite cores in the RX front end coils to 
bring the sensitivity up a bit at 28 MHz, if you need to go that low, but as 
the radio is already spec'd to 29.7 and you probably don't need much lower than 
29.6, it will most likely make it without modification.

Let the rest of us know how you make out.

 I see a lot of discussion about 6m conversions for
 Maratracs... I'm
 curious about using the low-split model (RF board HLB4099)
 on 10m FM.
  The stated range for these units is 29.7 - 36 MHz roughly.
  Not a
 huge stretch down into the 10m repeater band.  I have a 10m
 repeater
 in the conceptual stages, and I've had good results
 with Maratracs on
 high band and 440.  I'd really like to use them on this
 machine too. 
 Any wisdom offered is certainly appreciated.

Brian,
If you haven't already you will have to edit the band limits in your copy of 
the RSS. The procedure
varies depending upon which version of the RSS you're using. You will also have 
to realign the radio
a bit but they do work fine on 10m FM. There's info on both Batlabs and the 
Maratrac Yahoo group.
