Hi, folks!

?

I purchased a white environmentally sealed D-Star box. Well, two actually. One is the 23cm data radio and one is the 23cm DV module. I was advised by the good folks at K5TIT at the Plano Hamfest that the DV module has everything in it to be a standalone repeater, no external server required, and can also manage the 70cm and 2m DV modules (that I don’t have).

?

That’s good news for the insides, but now I’m looking for the mil-style connectors to make the ethernet, power and other cables to fire it up and set it up.

?

The intent is to install these in Carrollton Texas.

?

I have noticed that years ago most of the municipalities in the Dallas area obtained ID-1’s as part of a grant, but many of them cannot hit the few 23cm DD systems. As a result, the ID-1’s sit unused in boxes, if they even know where they area. One guy in our club, KB5NFT, went around and programmed stuff in them but that was even before W5FC got their stack on the air.

?

Anyway, I want to set up the infrastructure for support the Carrollton – Farmers Branch – Addison ID-1’s (and any other agency or ham that has one) with these units. We have a venue – we have other club repeaters and backup repeaters there – so I’m on the hunt for the following:

?

23 cm duplexer

23 cm antennas

Cables or at least the connectors

Great advice, suggestions and pictures
