Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT - Jeep Cherokee

I plan on using the following for equipment:
1. IC-706MIIG for 75-6 meters with the AH-4 auto-tuner  a 9 foot whip
2. Kenwood dual band mobile for 2 meters  440 MHz with dual band antenna
3. Motorola GTX-900 mobile for 900 MHz

Possible future:
1. Scanner for VHF/UHF/800trunk
2. 222 Mhz mobile

Since I work in FM Broadcast Engineering, the Stereo will be swapped out for
one that is IBOC capable.

   Man... if you aren't running a 706, you're gonna run out of room unless
you get one
 of those professional rack setups like what police departments use. I have a
FT-60
 (6m only all-mode) and an Icom 2720 under the dash on the left side, I used
one
 long thick metal strip to grab as many screws under the dash itself, then I
hung the
 radios from the strip. I need to hang an APRS radio on the right side
somewhere. :-)

John, I had an '87 Cherokee with the 4 L engine.  Some spark plug noise in 
SSB modes,
but cured it with resistor platinum plugs and replaced the plug wires. 
Unfortunately,
I don't recall what brand of wires I used.  Now I'm all diesel, so no 
ignition systems.  G

Yes, a slightly off topic question.

I recently acquired a 1992 Jeep Cherokee with the 4L engine  4 speed
automatic transmission.  Anyone have any experience to know if I should 
expect
to have any RFI problems from this vehicle?


I want to put the following bands of radios in it:
HF (10-75 meters)
6 meters
2 meters
440 MHz
902 MHz
CB (11 meters)

Any other advice from those who have had Jeep Cherokees for mounting radios 
in
the Cherokee would be appreciated.

thanks

Re: Fw: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Frequency Spacing?

2006-04-06 Thread Doug Bade
Ian;
 I do not think you suppled enough info for us to answer 
that. While isolators are always a good idea at sites where there are 
multiple transmitters, the specifics of why in the preceding 
discussion is for specific problems due to exact offset paired 
repeaters in the same site working in close proximity with probable 
antenna coupling contributing to potential intermod as a 
resultisolators are probably mandatory in that case.

 That specific site set of conditions as was being discussed 
may have no relevance to you unless your pairs all have same TX-RX 
offset, and the transmitters are capable of cross coupling energy 
among themselves and thus create intermod for your receiver(s). 70 
Mhz isolators will not be cheap... so I would not jump there without 
proper diagnostics...
 You did not tell us what your receive frequencies are, or 
are these simplex stations??? 70 mhz is not a repeater band we 
recognize here, I am unaware of your licensing schemes for this band 
in Australia
 Same question applies for your uhf... specifics would be 
helpful for analysis of your exact inputs and outputs...at 470 here 
we use 3 mhz offset... at 450 we use 5 mhz offset... Rules vary by locale

 How close, frequency spacing wise, can a couple of VHF (2 meter) repeaters
 in the same equipment room on the same short tower be made to work well
 without much trouble or extra expense? How does 45 Kc. with same 600 Kc.
 offset sound? What will work this close and what won't?

If the offset is the same, closer is actually better since the duplexer of
each repeater will protect each RX from both TXs, both in RX notching of TX
 TX noise suppression at the RX freq.  However, isolators on both TXs are
a MUST, otherwise you will 2A-B mix in both TXs  end up TXing 45 kHz above
 below your two outputs.  Try to keep the two antennas as far apart as
possible.  If you can't separate the antennas much, you might need dual
isolators on both TXs.  I've seen two TXs 20 kHz apart at the same site mix
strong enough to be heard 10 miles away, even though both systems had
single isolators.

When dealing with close-freq. TX spacing, equipment shielding seems to be
more important for some reason.  Stay away from converted mobiles as
repeaters, or plan on using a separate RX in an RF-tight box with EMI
feedthroughs.

For about the same price:

Ok Doug
The frequency pairs are 
TX 473.575 RX 478.775MHZ
TX 489.100 RX 483.900MHZ
TX 70.300 RX 72.800 MHZ
TX 70.5875 RX 72.0875 MHZ

Ian;
 I do not think you suppled enough info for us to answer
that. While isolators are always a good idea at sites where there are
multiple transmitters, the specifics of why in the preceding
discussion is for specific problems due to exact offset paired
repeaters in the same site working in close proximity with probable
antenna coupling contributing to potential intermod as a
resultisolators are probably mandatory in that case.

 That specific site set of conditions as was being discussed
may have no relevance to you unless your pairs all have same TX-RX
offset, and the transmitters are capable of cross coupling energy
among themselves and thus create intermod for your receiver(s). 70
Mhz isolators will not be cheap... so I would not jump there without
proper diagnostics...
 You did not tell us what your receive frequencies are, or
are these simplex stations??? 70 mhz is not a repeater band we
recognize here, I am unaware of your licensing schemes for this band
in Australia
 Same question applies for your uhf... specifics would be
helpful for analysis of your exact inputs and outputs...at 470 here
we use 3 mhz offset... at 450 we use 5 mhz offset... Rules vary by locale

 How close, frequency spacing wise, can a couple of VHF (2 meter) repeaters
 in the same equipment room on the same short tower be made to work well
 without much trouble or extra expense? How does 45 Kc. with same 600 Kc.
 offset sound? What will work this close and what won't?

If the offset is the same, closer is actually better since the duplexer of
each repeater will protect each RX from both TXs, both in RX notching of TX
 TX noise suppression at the RX freq.However, isolators on both TXs are
a MUST, otherwise you will 2A-B mix in both TXs  end up TXing 45 kHz above
 below your two outputs.Try to keep the two antennas as far apart as
possible.If you can't separate the antennas much, you might need dual
isolators on both TXs.I've seen two TXs 20 kHz apart at the same site mix
strong enough to be heard 10 miles away, even though both systems had
single isolators.

When dealing with close-freq. TX spacing, equipment shielding seems to be
more important for some reason.Stay away from converted mobiles as
repeaters, or plan on using a separate RX in an RF-tight box with EMI
feedthroughs.

  Yes, a slightly off topic question.
  
  I recently acquired a 1992 Jeep Cherokee with the 4L engine 
4
 speed
  automatic transmission.  Anyone have any experience to know if
I
  should expect
  to have any RFI problems from this vehicle?
  
  
  I want to put the following bands of radios in it:
  HF (10-75 meters)
  6 meters
  2 meters
  440 MHz
  902 MHz
  CB (11 meters)
  
  Any other advice from those who have had Jeep Cherokees for
 mounting
  radios in
  the Cherokee would be appreciated.
  
  thanks

 As an additional resource, check the archives of the Mobile-Portable group

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT - Jeep Cherokee

2006-04-06 Thread JOHN MACKEY
I have the metal top on the Jeep Cherokee.  I planned on using the following
antennas:
1. 9 ft whip with the Icom AH-4 auto-tuner for 6-75 meters
2. Larson dual band antenna for 144/440 MHz
3. 1/4 wave or gain antenna for 900 MHz
4. I may possibly mount antennas for 6 meters  10 meters to give max
performance on those bands to the IC-706.

Any thoughts??

 I've done a bunch of install work to these vehicles. What
 do you have planned for antennas? Does your Jeep have the
 fiberglass cap?

[Repeater-Builder] DB-224 versions

2006-04-06 Thread Chappy
We plan to buy a new DB-224 antenna for 146.34/94.
We notice the popular model covers 150-160 MHz.
Also available is a model  covering 138-150 MHz, for about $50 more.
I've heard many times that the 150-160 model covers 2 meters just fine.
In fact we have a DB-264 with 150-160 MHz specs and it seems OK.
Is it worth it to look for the 138-150 MHz version ?
Thanks -- kd4ss
