Jerry, I certainly didn't mean to imply that he was doing nothing when I said I hoped the folks he was jamming would receive a huge settlement from him. Sorry if I was unclear. :) I am concerned, however, that the County siezed a boatload of gear that is not known to be involved in any crime.

[Repeater-Builder] Needed: Low-Band Bandpass Cavity

Do you have a low-band bandpass cavity I can use on my new six-meter repeater (53.750 MHz, -1.7 MHz split)? I have the double-notch DB-4032A duplexer all tuned up and ready to go, but my site owner requires at least one bandpass cavity on the TX output. Regards, Dan at K7MM, VU3MMW

I''m planning an NXDN Kenwood Nexedge link system as mototurbo is already obsolete due to the fact that it does not support 6.25 khz and at some point it will be required. Maybe not in Amateur Radio but will definately be required in Land Mobile. Plus the Mototurbo repeaters simply do not last

Martin, Perhaps you understand incorrectly. The MTR2000 is already rated for continuous duty, in all bands and power settings. I first became aware of its durability when I found a Union Pacific Railroad repeater in Opticom service that was running key-down, 24/7/365, for over two years.

Alan, I am a long time Kenwood guy but the Mototrbo system is defiantly 6.25Khz compliant. As a system operator, your cost per channel is well less than ½ per channel than the NXDN system. Not to mention that the MTR2000 repeater is the high tier repeater and way more reliable than the 40

Hi agrimm, I've got a HT750 HT1250, and they are both pretty good radios. I've had the volume control fail, (actually one leg had a cold solder joint). That's for over 5 years of operation. The LI-Ion batteries do pretty well.. lot's lighter than the ni-mh. They seem to last about a year in

I would stick with the GP300s. The CTCSS/CDCSS decode on the HT750s absolutely stinks. You miss the first word or more on them while the GP300s get every syllable. I'm not sure how Motorola lost the ability to design a proper decode circuit, but all of the recent offerings have been weak in
