[Repeater-Builder] radio shops without a vision
Re: Need Plan info on handheld coverage in Business Band for 60 miles or so It would be sad to learn that a good radio shop couldn't come up with the obvious answers to this request, sell the equipment and provide a very cost effective solution to the original coverage request. Figure Cingular units cost min $29 per month just to run the ptt feature. 20 units is an easy $580 a month just as a regular ongoing cost. This type system is where Land Mobile Radio (LMR) could provide a much more cost effective solution at a much reduced ongoing cost over Nextel and/or Cingular. Someone with their well thought out planning hat on would also make the system perform both in and around the store locations just to impress and expand the system to the local area. Cingular's push to talk feature might be a solution. The problem with many of the older radio shops is the lack of vision... in the old railroad days we called this sleeping at the switch. I'd be over to the customer location the next day asking to demo the equipment, showing system diagrams and showing off the portables that would work through the system... also showing how much the ongoing costs would be for both systems over the next 3 years. Most people can see that far ahead. About 80% plus of the old time radio shops never seemed to wake up or warm up to the real world... many have gone poof. cheers, skipp Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: LMR coax
If you email or contact my (rotten to the core :-) friend Mike (wu7q) about his UHF Repeater System (on echolink and IRLP), he'll tell you the story of how his brand new LMR-400 feed-line worked great for about 3 months. The system was installed early in the year when outside temps were moderate. The California 105' summer heat killed the line in the fourth month of operation. The Repeater Receiver went numb... really numb. Everything tested great, Receiver, Duplexer, the LMR-400 feedline and new Antenna. T'was a real head scratcher for a time. So... We replaced the LMR-400 feed line with 1/2 inch andrews hard line and the receiver came back to life just like magic! The original LMR-400 still tests like nothing is wrong with it... but something is wrong with it unless you like resistive feed line on your UHF Repeater System. This is only one example of the grief we've had with LMR-400 feed line. But I will say that some of our earlier installed LMR line vhf antenna systems are still working ok. We are slowing removing the LMR-400 from critical applications as equipment is changed. Your results will probably vary... Tower climbers and antenna days are costly and eat up more time than most people/shops care to admit. Over time you learn to remove all the variables from a new antenna system installation so you don't end up punching the clown over a product selection mistake. LMR is in the variable columb... cheers, skipp Tim and Janet Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Recently there were some negative comments about the LMR coax.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: LMR coax
Hello Skipp,I would be really interested in knowing with say 10 watts going into the cable, how much reaches a dummy load at the far end. I have never had any loss issues with LMR400, other than breaking the center conductor. I have bunches of LMR500 and 600 with no trouble. Above 600, it makes more sense to use LDF5-50 7/8 Andrew cable. I have various LMR cables in place from HF to 1296 (on 1296 they are short jumpers from the main line into the station).

[Repeater-Builder] Re: LMR coax
Hi Steve, In the approx 50' length of feedline we used, there appeared to be no un-realistic amount of loss in the new lmr cable. As mentioned earlier, sourcing the numb receiver was a real head scratcher for a week or two. Tx out power and return losss measured just peachy, but no cigar on the rx loss go figure. I don't have the original values anymore... It's possible I still have the problematic line segement still at the repeater site (well marked as bad). Maybe this summer I'll have another look at it. 1/2 inch hard line is not really that much more and there's a glut of feedline around from all the cell site swap outs/changes. I've not had any problem with the larger LMR lines although we don't have a lot of it in service. I do have a lot of the rg-58 size LMR 200 in service and I like it for inside jumpers in some applications. Mostly because I got it free and it's easy to work with. But most of the serious applications get rg-214 mil spec so I can sleep well at night... cheers, skipp Steve Bosshard (NU5D) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Skipp, I would be really interested in knowing with say 10 watts going into the cable, how much reaches a dummy load at the far end.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Bi-Directional Repeater Cable?
Connecting two identical radios back-to-back is the easy part, which this cable probably can do okay. But it does not include a station identifier, which is mandatory. I also am skeptical about the claim of full duplex operation. Back-to-back cables normally work in cross-band applications, where the radio that is receiving a signal uses its COR to key another radio. Then, when the reply comes in, the keying direction is reversed. This is simply a variant of two-frequency simplex operation.. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 12:37 PMTo: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Repeater-Builder] BiDirectional Repeater Cable?

Most of the problems I have found were traces to improperly installed connectors , non-flooded braid cable, and/or weatherproofing; including at grounding locations. Either order the cables with the conectors installed or have the PROPER tools and know how to install them and use accepted commerical weatherproofing material and techniques. 3. If you are having to PAY for cable installation, spend the extra money for good quality Hardline such as Andrews or RFS Celwave; it will save you over time. 4.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: BiDirectional Repeater Cable?
I have and they actually work just fine. Although they are very basic and provide no repeater controller options, which include a tail or drop out timer unless you buy the model that has it built in. The cable you ask about takes two Motorola 16 pin radios like the GM300 and M120 units, makes one a repeater receiver and the other a transmitter. I make a similar unit using the rear 16 pin plug/jack and in some examples also/or the front mic jace. Be careful about the ebay sold unit, it's very, very easy to put the cable in upside down, there is no plug polarity key, nor is there a real indication of which side of the plug goes up or down.

[Repeater-Builder] Free to a good home (you pick up or pay shipping)
One 4-Motrac base, rack mount, model B53MHB. Manual copy available for the Kinkos costs. I know that the rest of this stuff isn't quite radio related, but I know that people and 2-way shops have multi-line phones, and some have older systems... might need some of this stuff. Over 15 years ago I had the chance to pick up this stuff after a acquaintance passed away... at the time I was doing phone system work on the side. Well, I'm never going to use it all, so I'm offering about 90% of the stash... I need to make space in the garage. All are free for hauling away or shipping costs... All of this stuff is a little dirty from warehouse storage. I live in Arcadia, California, just a mile or so east of Pasadena. Plug 91007 into the search box of Google Earth and the crosshairs will be within a mile of me. Folks familiar with telephone equipment will recognize these... 25-30 used 66M blocks (these are the smaller 4-pin block), a mix of split (i.e. each row has 2 groups of 2 pins each) and unsplit (each row is all 4 pins across the block). All are used, most still have wire punched into them. A few have a couple of the plastic wire pegs broken off. New these things are $12-20 depending on where you go. 30-40 unsplit 66B blocks (these are the 6-pin big block). All 15-20 years old, most look like they were never used. $15 and up if you could find them and were to buy new. 20-30 type-89B standoffs for the M blocks - all over 20 years old but most never used, but a little yellow with age (the type of plastic they used does that). 1 each Northern Telecom Logic 6, Logic 10 and Logic 20 key phones plus one, maybe two ITT 30-button (29 lines) phone. Several 2564 and 2565 phones. One 9-line WeCo wall phone (handset hangs up on the top of the phone) - sometimes called a barn phone. These are 1A2 key telephones that use the fat 25-pair cable that has the 50-pin Amphenol connector... (Picture a 50-pin version of the 36-pin connector you find on the back of a printer). The Logic 6 is a 5-line phone that is used and looks it but works fine, the Logic 10 is a 9-line and the Logic 20 is the 19 line version. The Logic 20 and the ITTs are new in the box and have a jack in the back for a headset (the dual 1/4 telco-type of headset jack). The 10 is used, but still decent looking and would clean up very nice with a bit of automotive polish. 1 used ITT 501 6-line KSU with the optional 2-line add-on panel and a Melco KC-9 buzzer intercom (9 stations). The exterior looks new but the inside has the wear and tear of a dusty warehouse environment, also the intercom unit was used when it was installed and looks rough, but works fine. This system was used with some of the 9-line phones above and offers 8 lines plus intercom. I have a 501 manual that can be xeroxed and I'll do that if you want to pay the Kinkos cost. If you ask nice I'll swap out the 9-station for your choice of a KC-19 or even a KC-37 (19 and 37 stations). Several used 584 shelves, and 1 512 shelf complete with interrupters, and there are several power supplies available, most with ring generators. Each shelf will control 13 phone lines. Each power supply will support 3 shelves. I have a xerox of the manual for the 512 and the 584. One TIE 612 phone system. Capable of 6 lines and 12 phones. Includes a few phones, all have the monitor speaker option, I think one is a speakerphone. Condition unknown, no manual. I think there is a NorthCom 1A3 phone system on the shelf. If so, it is also a 6 by 12. Manufactured as a swapin for the TIE (i.e. uses the TIE phones) but with more features. Condition unknown, no manual. over 100 line cards of several types for the above 1A2 shelves - Includes 400D, 400E, 400H, 401, 413, 407, 415 (ringdown), 417, 4000 (a 400 clone), 4100, 4200 (a 400 with MOH), a couple tuner cards for the 4200s, etc. I know a few are bad but I have no easy way to test them. I have other telephone crud of the 70s and 80s vintage... if you are maintaining a vintage system let me know what you need. Yahoo!

I did the math on a Motrac a long time ago, and actually moved a 172mhz Motran (then had a serial tag made up that read U43.5MSN-3190AK) Basically I converted the receiver LO multiplier 75-to-150MHz doubler into a tripler, and ordered rocks for 149MHz receive channels from a local cheap rock chipper. I wasn't going to spend good $ on a experimental project. The front end mod was similar to Kevin's Micor-receiver-to-220 mods. The transmitter got the same doubler-to-tripler mod and the PA deck was actually pretty easy... each tuned circuit had a coil, fixed cap and trimmer cap in parallel. By diking out the fixed cap it all tuned right up.Not exactly the right L-C ratios, but it was a proof-of-concept idea. A 149.150 CAP or MARS (I forget which) channel element with a cheap crystal that had drifted low beyond use was able to be tweaked to 149.0 and it landed me on 223.5 The finals were inefficient enough at 220 that they didn't need any neutralization... I was seeing a clean 19-20 watts out. I had the radio working on the local 223.94 and 224.94 repeaters, and on 223.5MHz simplex. It lasted about a year before it got replaced with a Midland 13-509... 12 channels in a smaller box. Then a 13-513.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] radio shops without a vision
All very good points Skipp. I have developed solutions like what they need many times back in the 80's. Used to put those midland and uniden repeaters up with phone interconnect all the time. Mostly in junk yards. That was after the operators of the yard gave up on the cordless phone with the antenna kits! The suggestion to use a PTT service is only 9.95 to add to existing service. I was assuming employees already having some sort of cell service. If they do not then a system solutions is the way to go. The one 60 mile hop the poster mentioned is what is going to need some engineering and brings cost and most likely ongoing expense to the solution. The best RF based solution so far sounds like the voice over IP linking. Unless he is in the central valley of California, then just about any of the good mountain top sites will cover him!

Figure Cingular units cost min $29 per month just to run the ptt feature. 20 units is an easy $580 a month just as a regular ongoing cost. This type system is where Land Mobile Radio (LMR) could provide a much more cost effective solution at a much reduced ongoing cost over Nextel and/or Cingular. Someone with their well thought out planning hat on would also make the system perform both in and around the store locations just to impress and expand the system to the local area. Cingular's push to talk feature might be a solution. The problem with many of the older radio shops is the lack of vision... in the old railroad days we called this sleeping at the switch. I'd be over to the customer location the next day asking to demo the equipment, showing system diagrams and showing off the portables that would work through the system... also showing how much the ongoing costs would be for both systems over the next 3 years. Most people can see that far ahead. About 80% plus of the old time radio shops never seemed to wake up or warm up to the real world... many have gone poof. cheers, skipp Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Syntor X conversion to 222 as a user radio?
Mike I have a modified Syntorx for two meters. You may want to take a look at Piex.com. They are the people I got my mod kit from and it worked well. I think they could have made provisions for a control head and it would have been much nicer. They also advertise it will go to 220.0Mhz and I agree. The mod kit is very nice and well thought out. If I can answer particular questions don't hesitate to ask. 73's de Tom MAnning, AF4UG - Original Message - From: Mike Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 6:20 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Syntor X conversion to 222 as a user radio?

I have a tracking generator, so re-tuning the RF preselector set, and the VFO injection filter set is feasable... I have not yet done the math, but I was thinking of low-side injection with a 150-174 MHz Syntor X (which normally uses high-side injection) ... I did the math on a Motrac a long time ago, and actually moved a 172mhz Motran (then had a serial tag made up that read U43.5MSN-3190AK) Basically I converted the receiver LO multiplier 75-to-150MHz doubler into a tripler, and ordered rocks for 149MHz receive channels from a local cheap rock chipper. I wasn't going to spend good $ on a experimental project. The front end mod was similar to Kevin's Micor-receiver-to-220 mods. The transmitter got the same doubler-to-tripler mod and the PA deck was actually pretty easy... each tuned circuit had a coil, fixed cap and trimmer cap in parallel. By diking out the fixed cap it all tuned right up.Not exactly the right L-C ratios, but it was a proof-of-concept idea. A 149.150 CAP or MARS (I forget which) channel element with a cheap crystal that had drifted low beyond use was able to be tweaked to 149.0 and it landed me on 223.5 The finals were inefficient enough at 220 that they didn't need any neutralization... I was seeing a clean 19-20 watts out. I had the radio working on the local 223.94 and 224.94 repeaters, and on 223.5MHz simplex. It lasted about a year before it got replaced with a Midland 13-509... 12 channels in a smaller box. Then a 13-513. Then a trunk mounted 13-513 with 11 memory channels (DIP switches back in the radio) and one VFO channel via a homebrew control head. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

I have and they actually work just fine. Although they are very basic and provide no repeater controller options, which include a tail or drop out timer unless you buy the model that has it built in. The cable you ask about takes two Motorola 16 pin radios like the GM300 and M120 units, makes one a repeater receiver and the other a transmitter. I make a similar unit using the rear 16 pin plug/jack and in some examples also/or the front mic jace. Be careful about the ebay sold unit, it's very, very easy to put the cable in upside down, there is no plug polarity key, nor is there a real indication of which side of the plug goes up or down.

Just set up the vhf unit to the correct repeater pairn and use that cable to connect the vhf to a uhf simplex freqm. The handhelds would then be uhf and simplex.
