OK, everyone, where are the real RF Hackers?
Here's the challenge:
Develop some new ways to build 220MHz repeaters.
Well Chuk there are several things that don't make alot of sense. First if I
can buy a G.E. Master II or MVP for $20-30 and mod it for 220, my only
challenge is to build a 10 - 15 watt PA. I have used the 220 brick from RF
Parts and didn't use a circuit board, just a solder type terminal strip and
UT-141 hardline to and from the terminal strip. So with the brick and the
xtals you have about $100 in it.
Newer radios cost alot more and where is the gain in perfromance?
My 2 cents worth anyway. We have about 6 220 MVP's at high density sites in
the L.A. Basin.
