Our club bought a new DB-224E a couple of years ago for around $650 and it has
been a great performer. We oriented the top and bottom dipoles to the north
where we needed the most gain and the two center dipoles to the south where our
primary coverage is required. Our site is on a ridge
Yes, db-224E is what you want. It is spec'd to cover 138-150mhz. Be careful
that they don't send you a db-224AE. The E after the A means it is a
150-160mhz range elliptical patter antenna. Also, try and specify a N male
connector on your db-224E. The last one we ordered came with a PL-259 on
It looks like the FCC rules give you extra power when opting for dual
polarization. Doesn't mean the circular antenna contributes to extra
coverage, in fact it looks like the extra RF power allowed for the two
polarities is giving you more coverage?
That's a confusing point, I know. Every

Thanks to all that replied. I appreciate your input. I'm still looking for
answers,
Does anyone know if the voice on this controller use a TI voice synthesizer or
if it has the real speech like on the Arcom RC210? Someone in the club liked
how my RLC 1 Plus sounds and he wants one that sounds like it, but less
expensive.
There is an RSS software solution (bitbang) to get rid of the alarms.
Connect the RIB to the operating MSF.
From the main menu hit ALT-F5. A command line bar will appear telling you to
enter an IPCB command. Enter the following: (WITHOUT the quotes)

This is an antenna made by Maxrad, it might be a
MBX 150 which will be VHF, they also make a UHF
version. They are all frequency adjustable.

These style antennas are typically poor performers FYI. I wouldn't use it for
anything important. Cushcraft started the design with their Ringo series,
then several others copied the design. They were inexpensive, which was the
only good feature.

Yup!
THats two for MaxRad so far!
So it will either be a MaxRad or a Ringo. Its incredibly light, and it looks
very much like a light saber, which is what I am almost inclined to use it for,
if it wasnt worth a few bucks! :)
Its nice to know this may be frequency adjustable. I just wanted to be

It's not a real Ringo unless it's a very, very early one. The Ringos
used round (whatever that is called at the bottom - the ring part).
They also had the feedpoint come perpendicular to the ring rather than
(what appears to be) parallel gamma matched.

I believe that's an SO-239 connector, ready to accept your common
PL-259 connector at the end of a piece of coax.

These are very solid reliable antennas within their specifications.

I'm looking for a UHF circulator to buy (or borrow). I have a mix that involves
our transmitter but I'm not sure it's in our transmitter. We have a Micor
repeater with the built in circulator but some feel an outboard two port is
required for our nasty hill. It would be good if I could test one
That did work. That's cool. Is there anyway to save it to the radio?
When I reset the radio the problem comes right back.
Thanks again.

Richard, thank you very much for the help.

I'm not quite sure I understand your question.
The procedure puts it into normal condition. Nothing further to do.
For a conventional MSF5000 (NON-trunking) that is, a radio always
without the RF sensor installed, the values 00 and FF are what is
loaded at factory; e.g. normal.
The problem
It's a Maxrad. The Ringo had the phasing element at the bottom in the form of
a ring, hence the name. The Maxrad used the same theory but built in a
different manner.

I would first make sure the stock Micor antenna network is tuned properly.
There is an article on doing this on the Repeater Builder website.
