[Repeater-Builder] UHF GM300 (lnk radio)

2004-09-03 Thread Steaven Rogers, W4YI
I would like to use a UHF GM300 as a link radio for my system. However, 25 watts is a bit overkill for my application. Has anyone had any luck with reducing the power on one of the radios? I would assume that one could disable the amplifier and use just the exciter, but I am not sure of

25 Watt radios will turn down to at least 10 watts or less without any problems. If you want to use just the exciter (a few hundred milliwatts I think), you would probably want to make your own t/r switching and just connect directly to the RF board. Steaven Rogers, W4YI wrote: I would like

It just unplugs. You will need a special cable to plug back into the circuit board to plumb the RF out to the outside world. It is a standard Mot part, but I do not know the part number. Get yourself a service manual, the part is listed in there... Good luck! Mike Steaven Rogers, W4YI wrote:
