Scotch Kote is a 3M product, amber to brown in color (I've seen black, too).
Another brand sells something called Liquid-Tape, essentialy the same thing,
but I think Scotch Kote Dries harder, where Liquid Tape is more like tar, and
gets tacky when hot.
It is designed for sealing electrical

Actually it's something worn over the kilt when the wind is blowing.

Hi All, I have a cat300 controller (not DX) and am wading my way
through the manual. The problem is that in the UK a repeater MUST send
out it's ident every 15 minuets and as far as I can see although the id
timer can be set for 15 mins, it will only send it out when the
repeater is bought up!
You are correct!
The Scotch Kote (Gealic spelling of coat) was very successful at
preventing wardrobe malfunctions of the kilt. Years ago, a 3M
executive who was attending the British Open golf tournament at St.
Andrews Old Course in Scotland noticed how the Scotch Kote seemed to
make the
Nuffink in the manual about a beacon ID mode!

They're pretty handy for in-house remoting, ie, a hospital ER on the
first floor with a med channel base on the roof. They respond much
quicker then a tone remote, so if you have a dispatch center that wants
to patch radios together
I may have the opportunity to pick up a used Ritron
Patriot repeater (RRX-450) cheap, but wanted to find
out first whether it can be programmed on 440 pairs...
the published specs just say 450-470.
Any special tricks, plug-and-play, or not possible?

Yea, DC remotes are COOL!
I used to use one for a Motrac 1/4 KW base on 52.525 Mhz. The remote was
in my apartment and the Motrac was about 150 feet away in a storage
room.
When another ham moved in 2 doors down we just dropped a pair of wires to him
and hooked up the remote, he was able to use

measurements and post them.

well then how about anyone who builds cables post the type of duplexer, type of

after a while there would be a goood set of 'start here' figures for all

You will need a separate Encode and Decode boards for the tones to work on the

Plus you have jumpers to change.
You might research which jumpers need to be changed.
