The TB7100 is only a toy compared to the TB8100 series. Actually the '7100 series is made utilising Tait Mobile boards that dont quite make specification. Regards Gareth Bennett (Technical Services) Signals NZ Ltd 8 Manor Place P.O. Box 1439 Dunedin 9015 New Zealand Phone : 03 425-0895(64 3

[Repeater-Builder] Tait T700 Mobile Repeater

2008-12-11 Thread Gmail - Kevin, Natalia, Stacey Rochelle
Hi All, I came across a web site that had a listing for a Tait T700 Mobile 70cm Repeater. It appears that they are using one T700 and turning it into a full duplex unit. I have a few T700 UHF radios sitting on my shelf and was wondering about using them as a portable/moble repeater. Does anyone

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MSF-5000 PL encode deviation

2008-12-11 Thread Bob M.
As others have said, the PL/DPL deviation is NOT separately adjustable. It's a fixed percentage of the total deviation. It is very clean however, so even though it might measure rather high, it'll be quite inaudible. You'd have to add a resistor somewhere to lower just the PL level. Make sure

I think it's just a matter of personal preference and where you're located. Check with some other site owners and get their opinions too. I've dealt with Telewave and their phone and e-mail support is quick and helpful. Bob M. == --- On Thu, 12/11/08, Jed Barton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I have three Telewave VHF duplexers in service which I bought new from Telewave along with a number of other Telewave components, all very good and trusted stuff! I like Telewave and will continue to use them in the future. Scott, N6NXI - Original Message - From: Jed

I have nothing bad to say about Telewave, but if you are looking at TX/RX and Telewave as the two choices, I'd pick TX/RX any day. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: Jed Barton To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 11:15 PM Subject:

I have a couple of UHF WACOMs that _appear_ identical to Telewave. Telewave claims that they share a common design heritage (I think thats the exact wording). I am extremely happy with the design, and I have used Telewave support for other things and have found them to be easily the best

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Opinion on Hardline

I have a 220 repeater ( budget project ) going on the air soon, hopefully. I was given a 100ft or so of Times Microwave RG-331 ( alum. Jacket ) hardline, roughly the same specs as 1/2 Heliax though just a little larger diameter it appears. Should this be safe, even though perhaps not

Thanks to everyone for the various ideas. I think I'll hit up the local department of Roads and Bridges and see if I can't snag a used traffic controller housing. Thanks again guys, 73. Alex
