Paul, you're correct...CTCSS (or DCS) should be utilized but its not
required.

But this is GMRS-it MUST, by law, be CTCSS controlled.
Are you sure about that?
As it turns out, I have a questionable test cable. Either that or I have an
attenuator turned on in my test set that I'm not aware of. I'm still
learning how to use this HP8920. I removed the cables from the cavity and
connected them together and my measured input was 1.75-2.0 db lower than
All test cables and connectors on them exhibit loss,
especially as frequency goes up .You need to account for these
losses by knowing what they are at the freq you are working on, and
even the service monitor is not perfectly constant across it's

Let's assume you are doing this test as a swept test, i.e. using the
tracking generator. With the 8920 you can

I think the best answer is:
it depends.
They tend to serve different purposes, although
duplexers are often made with bandpass filters.
On 927 MHz, you can use two antennas, and a couple of
bandpass filters might give you enough isolation.
On 146 MHz, you won't get enough attenuation with two
I had an earlier post post about a UHF Micor unified chassis station that I will eventually connect an outbord controller (CAT300DXL) and convert to ham use, and thanks to all who responded. Of course my game plan is to verify correct operation on the 460 mhz commercial freq before attempting a

If this is a single cavity, i.e. NOT a duplexer, then
I would expect 0.5 to 1.0dB loss, especially if you
can't adjust/rotate the coupling loops. This is also
after taking into account any cable and connector
losses.

Hi,
I have just had a TKR-820 donated to our group. It came with a set of
Sinclair cavities.
But there is no operational manual. Is there any where I can find one, I
checked the Kenwood site and got nowhere.
I assume it has an internal controller
Anyone here that can walk me thru' operating
Has anyone setup a wireless internet community where a group of users can use uhf radios and/or repeaters to communicate with a base station to access the internet instead of phone lines and what types of speeds can you expect?.are there any good pages on this type of setup?
Thank You,
That would be great, someday, if you have the time to do up an article about
making M-PDs into a Repeater. I think that it would be a welcome addition to
the Repeater-Builder web page.
I know that the Motorola MX-series handheld radios make great Repeaters -
Motorola made several different
Hi Ian;
I think you would be better looking at
microwave frequency based access points 802.11 A/B or G. the last few years
price has shot way down and suppliers way up.
Wireless access points (Repeaters) and backhaul systems that
are compatible with solar systems and can have hop ranges
