Thanks guys - lots of great ideas here. It's good to hear that i'm not in as
unique a situation as I feared... Time to play and see what I can let the smoke
out of :)

Is the desired coverage area perfectly circular?

1) Don't exceed 200 feet above ground unless your tower is lit,
registered etc ... a DB-224E on top of a 180 foot tower will exceed 200
feet ...
2) Dipoles rule ... they are the best for weather and wind resistance
(and don't forget about lightning!). A dipole is likely to last a lot
longer t
I was given the opportunity of placing 3 repeater antennas at the very top of a
180 foot cellphone monopole tower. A horizontal arm mounted on the top of the
monopole will allow the mounting of my 3 repeater antennas. Horizontal
separation should be no less than 6 feet apart from each other.

Hi Josh,
You can mod your Micor, but you'll keep running into similar problems when you
interface your controller with other repeaters. COR outputs can be driven by
Darlington transistors, LED drivers, squelch ICs, etc., and not all will go as
low as you want.
Here's how we've designed our co
I always use an NPN transistor (2N4401 or whatever floats your boat) as an
inverter on the Micor COR, with a voltage divider on the base. Micor COR
to base through 10K, 4.7K from base to emitter, ground emitter, collector
becomes active-high COR. Pull up collector with 12V through 1K (or

You could also use a 2n7000 fet in place of the 2n device in that
circuit.. 2n700 FET's have an on trigger of between 2-4 volts. as the switch
point and switch like an npn transistor for this app.. the input does not
require a resistor ( the gate )as it can swing to ~12v before destructi

Hi Josh,
Instead of resistors, try diodes in series. Each Diode will drop your
voltage. I have series a couple to get rid of standing voltage, especially
if you are down to a half volt or so.

I'm interested. Where are you located shipping-wise?

James, RS-50 is the same RM-50? one is desk top and the RM is Rack mounted
type, If that is so I will scan the schematic tonite and will send it to you.
