Hello,
I have a repeater system consisting of a Yaesu VXR5000 UHF repeate and a
Computer Automation Technology CAT300 controller. I have the repeater at a
church in my city.. The coverage is not that great, and I would like to
expand it. I am seeking advise on what I need to do. I live south of
Seattle, WA. I have located a nice places for a remote site there, this
would allow my group to communicate between the counties and cities
inbetween. I am not sure how to link the systems so that they are on the
same freq.
I was thinking about putting two mobiles and a controller at the other
site, and using a different PL. That way, when users move out of range,
they can switch PL's and gain access. I have a yaesu and ADI mobile rig,
and a handheld controller to do this with.
Thanks,
Pat N7WGR

I would consider using either some older mobiles, such as the Master II,
Exec II, Micor and Mitrek, one UHF and the Other another band, and set up a
Crossband repeater. This would listen on the current input on UHF, and
retransmit it on the other band to the repeater site, where there would be a
reciever. You will most likely have to use a voter/comparator of some sort so
that the UHF repeater can decide which reciever to make active.
I am sure someone else has a better idea, but this is how I would do it.
