First of all Thanks Tony and Steve. The radios are rated at 35W adjustable to
5W I plan to run them at about 20W, and they aren't going to exceed about 30
to 40% duty cycle. So the PAs should be fine.
AS far as a duplexer, it's already installed and tuned in the repeater I'm
replacing.
I absolutely would NOT run a x30 at 100W out continuous! Even
with air on it.
Well, to each his own. I wasn't the first one to use mobile
RF Decks in repeater operation.
The high power unit should not be run more then abt 30-40 W,
and the low power unit should not be run at more than

They'd easily be fine at 35 watts, especially at
All a question of how much cooling is provided. From
memory I believe the 840 also has temp shutdown
protection. Even with the added fans, 100% duty cycle
is probably not possible. But if the radios do protect
themselves, you probably wouldn't notice the (hopefully
short) times where the
Some of us just bite our lip and stay quiet when talk
about making a Midland 13-509 radio into a repeater.
Most of us want to say you should try for a better
receiver before the rock throwers tell you it will
work fine at many a location.
Don't split the radio up... at least buy a receiver
Yeah, it may be a gamble depending on the site. I have read
the recent comments on that receiver and obviously it does
work well at a number of sites. Probably wouldn't hold up
at some others...
I tend to forget about such things easily, as I am used to
working with repeaters at incredibly

Would a Motorola PAC RT work?
In a word, NO.
A PAC-RT is a unit designed to extend a mobile radio

Thanks for the input. It is 150MHz and we would have a 5Mhz split.
What is the best process for shielding the two radios? Are there
cases out there or some foil type products? What would happen if we
just connected to the two radios together and separated the antennas?

Denny,
The R1225 is just the full-duplex transceiver that is in a GR1225 or
RKR1225 repeater cabinet. It is exactly the same size as a Maxtrac or
GM300 dash-mount mobile radio. Since it has a built-in controller, all
you need is a duplexer and the connecting cables and you have a tactical

If you don't mind I'm taking this back to the mail list, as there may be
others who can benefit from the info, ok?
The first bandpass filter is located behind the exciter board. If you
carefully remove the board, you'll see a piece of white teflon coax leaving
the board and plugging into
when I remove it to tune it do I need to supply power to it?
or will that become evident when I get it out.
