Charles, Welcome to the world of 6 Meter repeaters. They can be a lot of fun. In Missouri you are a little better off frequency and duplexer wise due to your 1.7 MHz split between transmit and receive frequencies. For radios it depends if you are a GE or Motorola person. If you are a GE

An additional 20dB of isolation can be realized by replacing the antenna Tee connector with a circulator. Port A to B tuned to the TX frequency, Port B to C tuned to the RX frequency. Connect TX to port A, antenna to B, Receiver to C. I'm using a set of WP-639 and with this setup I am seeing

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Possible to purchase IRLP node numbers for AllStar nodes to thus enable IRLP connections on AllStar system?

2010-09-09 Thread Rick Szajkowski
whats bs ? if they want to use IRLP on there Allstar node then build the software to allow it to run with IRLP Just like the Echolink-IRLP guys did .. you cant run both at the same time but saves having more then 1 pc at the repeater site On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 12:22 AM, Kris Kirby

4 cans will do it. Preamp may or may not be of any use depending on noise floor. Your bigger problem is all the noise that a mobile encounters these days. Sometimes it's tough to hear the repeater through all the crap that's out there. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: NORM
