Daron, I guess I didn't know exactly what you wanted to do. Are you trying to stack the radios? What I'm trying to do is refill my tool box and parts box in the shop with some of these brackets. I use them to mount speakers (if I don't have the bracket), TNC's to the top of radios, radios to

Hey folks, Anyone taken these little radios into the ham bands? I'd like to use some UHF modules for linking, and the VHF modules would do fine for APRS trackers. They look like they should go easily, just trying to find out if anyone has done it successfully? Thanks, Daron J. Wilson, RCDD

Robert, You're not the first person to present this problem. I suggest that you apply for an itinerant license for two-way radio usage in the business-industrial band. Consider that you might want to have some mobile radios for convoy use, along with a temporary base station, and sufficient

Wondering what type of radios are available for use as voters for a repeater. I am told that it is best if all the receivers are the same for the voters, my plans are to use all micors of the same chassis. Is this true as well for the transmitters? What my plans are is to use the Doug Hall

OK, but I'm not sure if the first element is the top or the bottom. The more popular coaxail types use a freespace 1/4 wave radiator at the top. The bottom 1/4 radiator is used to decouple the feed line (prevent feed line radiation). You also have to pay attention to the coax type and

The Doug Hall voter works on noise just above the voice band, just over 3 kc in freq. If the response from the remote sites is different and either boost or attenuate this band of signal, the voter may false. Also, if the audio response if different between voters, the repeated signal will go up
