[Repeater-Builder] APRS Digipeater Radio Choice?

2010-08-28 Thread vk4jrc
I am looking to build an APRS Digi on 2 metres.  I had considered using a Yaesu 
FT-1802 radio, but was concerned that the receiver may not work very well on a 
community RF siite. My other radio of choice could be the Vertex VX-2200 
commercial model?  Only problem is the audio level requirement via the 15 pin 
accessory port, for 1200 baud, may need some amplification.
Any other suggestions for a better solution? Ideas for any models with a high  
spec receiver?  Location/URL for secondhand units? 
Any ideas appreciated.

73,

Jack VK4JRC

Robert,

I will have to chase it up, it's at a fellow amateur's place and he is away on 
holidays, back in a few days.

Cheers,

Jack

[Repeater-Builder] Alternative To Hamtronics PCBs?

2010-07-09 Thread vk4jrc
I have ordered some Hamtronics UHF Tx  Rx PCBs to use for building a repeater. 
Are there any other suppliers who make a similar product that I could buy and 
make a comparison for performance? Or, should I just stick with the Hamtronics 
boards, alone?

Cheers,

Jack. VK4JRC
