Greetings,
I am considering adding a 2m remote base to my RC-100 controlled UHF machine.
Looking for recommendations of specific radios to use, along with any to avoid.
I would like to use the BCD frequency agility of the controller.
Thanks and best regards de W1EL

I operate an antenna with a full size DB-224 and an 8 dipole 440 antenna on the
same mast and found that the 2 meter transmitter does not bother the 440
receiver, but I do get some desense with the 440 transmitter into the 2 meter
radio. An extra bandpass cavity on the 2 meter receiver cleared
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the info.
I will probably not put the 440 antenna up - I don't plan on
having a 440 repeater out here, just need to receive a control
signal.
So I'll probably put the diplexer at the bottom just use
the db-224 for 440 receive.

Someone on this list published an analysis of a DB-224 used on 440 and it
showed some interesting results. The antenna exhibits a bunch of narrow lobes
in the vertical plain, and has a very narrow vertical angle right on the
horizon.
For your purpose, I think you will find that it will work
Been looking for one of those for years, buddy... I could
probably dig up the archive posting from three years ago...
Simple building blocks like that just don't seem to be out there.
There are ATA devices to do 2-wire, but 4-wire EM just isn't
popular enough anymore for the cheap Chinese
Tried posting this to the ACC list but it's rather dead over there.
Hi Group,
The Doug Hall manual states the RC-96 now supports Generic mode, allowing
full control of a Kenwood mobile via the RBI-1. I have the RBI-1 wired up and a
440 radio on it, but I cannot control the radio from the RC-96
My two problems have been resolved. I received no reply from ACC but I
received several replies from Repeater Builder. So life is good!
Regarding the sense of the COS on a link receiver, I built a simple
circuit (suggested by W5ZIT) that reverses the sense. After doing
that, I stumbled upon the
I have been through numerous phone calls with Moto to purchase a legal copy of
the programming software to program a MSF5000 repeater and after signing up and
also signing a software agreement I now discover the software is obsolete and
can not be obtained from Motorola.
As you can tell I
Also are fellow hams still using the msf5000 or are they also considering them
too old?
There have been lots of MSF5000 900 MHz repeaters put on the air on 900 MHz for
sure over the last 3-4 years.

It would be interesting! Maybe I will do that just to see what they say. Both
employees I talked to suggested the same thing and said they would not support
anything that is obsolete. Course it was interesting that they said it was
obsolete in 1995 and the date on the repeater was 1994. Well
Would anyone care to comment on and compare the tools offered by both
Paladin and RF Industries, as well as the link earlier in this thread?
Not cheap, but not the several hundred dollars either as quoted by
someone above.
OK, here's probably more than you ever wanted to know about crimp
The standard Kings frame is KTH-1000. The Daniels HX4 is
basically a clone
of the Kings KTH-5000. Kings, Daniels, et al make other
models, but the
KTH-5000 is the most common style.
Sorry. Replace KTH-5000 with KTH-1000 in the above paragraph...
I have never met Jeff or crimped RF connectors but now I feel like an
expert!
Thanks Jeff.

I'd like that information also. I know that some of the
more technically
proficient hams out there who do RF design / installation
for a living
use
crimp only connectors, and swear by them. Are there other
vendors out
there
that people have used which are comparable to the
Jeff,
What an excellent tutorial. This should be a permanent article on the
Repeater-buiilder site!
Adding some pictures of the various crimp tools and the crimping process would
make it complete.
BTW - for those looking to buy one of these tools - although the Daniels HX4
and Kings
Doh! I'll take your word for it. I have a couple of KTH-1000's, and
although most of my dies are also made by Kings, I have a few dies that
aren't Kings, and I could have sworn they were Daniels but maybe I'm
mis-remembering. Maybe they're Astro? I'll try to remember to check.
Thanks for

Will the Andrew DB630 450-482 Unity Fiberglass Antenna work at 440.975 MHz? I
need something stout and simple for my 9600 bps packet node in a very harsh
winter environment. The specs say VSWR is 1.5:1 at the band edges. Can I run
OK down frequency just a bit more?
