This subject is one of those that seems to make a regular appearence on this reflector. Since there are may repeaters sending the automatic wx alearts I think if the FCC saw this as a problem someone would have been reprimanded for doing so. Anyone aware of this happening? Dex Your

[Repeater-Builder] Mitrek Radio as Solar Receiver (and Transmitter)??

2003-11-19 Thread Tom
Hello all, I have a tower site in southern Montana with no power. I am considering the installation of a single UHF repeater run on solar power at the site next summer. As such, I need the least amount of current drain on the receive radio as possible. I intend to run an ARR GaAsFET (20ma), and a

Do you need the sampler simply to feed into a service monitor for deviation measurements etc ? If so, just wrap a three or four turn loop of wire around the coax feeding your dummy load, and connect to test leads. Bob - Original Message - From: nj902 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Have you thought about the *lossy tee*? There are several ways to make them. I've made mine by taking a UHF or N 90 degree elbow and drilling a large enough hole into it to roughly accept a BNC chassis mount connector with the center conductor cut off short, so it won't touch the inner

Adi, For years we have made our own RF signal samplers from UHF tee's. The male pin usually will unscrew. Then the double ended female section should come out easily. Saw off one end of this double female section just past its threaded hole. Re-assemble the tee. Mark the female end of the tee
