Okay guys. This is my first repeater project ever. I am not sure if I
have chosen the right equipment or not, but here goes nothing. I have
two Moto GM300 UHF radios that I want to use for the repeater. I have
been looking at the CAT200 controller for the repeater. I have not
found any
I found my problem. I was just getting a couple of horizontal lines of

was sent via the list. I have been using Adobe Reader 5 and it reads
the other Com Spec files all OK. I upgraded to Adobe Reader 6 and my

Well, I finally have a couple of minutes to say it was good to meet up
with Kevin, Ken, and Robin, K4IDC. I missed a lot of people though, and
couldn't get to the RB dinner. I was specifically trying to meet up with

If you are purchasing a controller use the Link Communications controllers.
RLC-1 or even a RLC-4 is the way I would go.

Our tower has 4 sections and is of the type where all sections raise at once

Antenna is Jaybeam Folded
A quick check of the manual online shows zone 1 channel one to be
repeater transmit What this means (in cat-speak) is that by toggling
this channel back and forth, you can internally make or break the PTT
connection between the repeater and transmitter. That's what you are
looking for. 73 Mike

First thought is, don't shake the tower! :^)
On second thought this is a common occurance for telescoping towers in my
experience. I'm not familiar with the quality or construction of your tower
however, I have been able to reduce the noise two ways:
first, bond the tower and trailer together AND
As someone else already posted, Zone 1, channel 1, is
the repeater enable/disable command. If the controller
is set for default operation, the command 100110 will
turn this channel off, and it won't repeat until you
turn it back on with the command 100111. That's about
the only command you really

We haven't heard
Someone else already had good comments about bonding and the general
difficulty telescoping antenna supports can be in this type of
situation, but I'm also wondering if you're parking it in high RF fields
(besides your own RF)?
Are there other large transmitters around - broadcast, etc.?
Nate
Might try lubricating the moving parts of the tower with carbon conductive
grease... the carbon variety is available from MG Chemicals, is fairly cheap
and is commonly used for RFI suppression.

Hi Ian,Sorry for sounding obvious, but have you checked the coax, connectors and the antenna for loose or poor connections, if they all check out why not try grounding the tower with an earth spike.TrevorM3TPXIO93HE, UKIM Ashford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone experience with eliminating

Lots of info can be found on www.repeater-builder.com
in regards to site contracts, things to look for, etc.
Probably nothing location-specific, like where the

listening and asking around to find those.

Rob,
You can also go to www.fccinfo.com and by entering a set of coordinates, do
a within search for antenna structure registrations (ASR). From there you
can pull the site contact info and what-not... it will give you a place to
start anyway..
It doesn't cost anything, and is updated daily..
No more .. too many [EMAIL PROTECTED] hi-rise obstacles ;-)

Dan - Go www.batlabs.com They have info on the

ground from both, of course, Flat audio and COR from

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. It's nice to see so many
people out here willing to help out! One last thing. Can anyone
provide me with the wireing schematic for the cat200 controller hookup

I have an interesting thing happening on our two meter repeater. We
have what appears to be a blanking white noise that is present on the
input. The repeater is a split site system with a 440 link from the
two meter receiver site over to the transmitter site about 2000ft
away. There are no
