Sorry for posting something off topic, I am appealing to my worldwide community of colleagues to ask advice regarding OEM or external 2400/4800 baud modems for a small Telemetry project. These will be preferably installed in VX-2200 mobiles or inline via the HD15 connector. Does anyone have

[Repeater-Builder] Narrow banding question

2009-08-06 Thread Albert
I have a question relating to the upcoming narrowbanding I have been hearing about as it relates to surplus equipment. Does the narrowbanding effect just 700, 800, 900MHz trunked systems? Or is it across the board, including all commercial VHF and UHF users? I was just curious as to what

I wonder if this is a battery issue, possibly affecting any user, or simply a handheld that was supposed to be rated for use in explosive environments which turns out not to meet spec. In any event, a very funny recall notice! 73, Paul, AE4KR - Original Message - From: ks4ec

Yeah, well if it is low voltage usually it will sneak through. I had a tantalum on a 5volt rail in a stereo generator that the factory put in backwards which ran fine for 5 years, then it got angry and quit working and when I pulled the lid 4-5 hours later the tant blew right in my face, easy to

Hi Bob, 90% of the weight of our PRU is the battery alone. We think around 10 Kg is pretty good for a complete repeater, incl duplexer, battery and radios. We wanted to have the battery inclusive as then anyone can deploy the repeater and not have to worry about batteries or anything that
