Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF System Budget Example

Someone else already stated that your equipment must be narrowband-capable, ruling out a lot of used radios. I'll add that you want to avoid 9913 or LMR foil/shield coax for your repeater installation. As far as costing things out, I'd suggest that you get quotes from a few local two-way

Just as a suggestion, You may wish to purchase Voting portables, then you can programme 2 channel voting group, channel #1 being the repeater and channel #2 being simplex on repeater input frequency if regs allow. It's surprising how well this works Gareth Bennett - Original Message

I 2nd that comment re voting portables. We do it all the time at work and it works a treat and means staff can still use their portables when away from repeater coverage. Regarding costings, these are a few things to consider: 1. Duty cycle - is it just for rent a cops to order lunch or do you

26 acres would be equal to a square 1064 feet to a side. If this was perfectly square and you had a portable at opposite corners, the maximum distance situation, they would be 1500 feet apart. If you put a repeater in the exact center, the greatest range would then be 750 feet. Buildings would
