That's odd. I've always used In any case, not to take anything away from Link Comm, but why not spend 50 bucks on an audio delay board from S*Com? Strong signal or weak - no squelch crash. :) From what I recall, the RLC-SQL was (is) more than that and only reduces the crash on strong signals. Joe, KR3P |

Re: New at building a repeater
Walter Isaacson
Thanks. Some 8 years ago or so I was trying to come up with a better squelch/COS board. I breadboarded some circuits but wasn't happy with the results. I sure tried to get my hands on one of those Motorola squelch IC's, M7716/M6709 but none of the suppliers in the Calgary area could help me. Eventually we cheated. One member of our group ended up buying an ex- RCMP Micor 100 watt repeater and that repeater is our main repeater here in Calgary. A rather expensive way to solve our squelch problem. <grin> I just checked Link-Comm's page to see if they still carried that squelch/COS board but I didn't see it on their page.

Re: New at building a repeater

We use TS-32 tone boards on our repeaters. So far we haven't been using CCTCS on our links, just on our drop repeaters. We use 100 Hz encode and decode on our network repeaters. Some of our stand-alone repeaters use various tones. I haven't figured out how to make the Mitrek boards encode and decode at the same time. The squelch on the Mitrek radios isn't so hot, long squelch tails. Link-Com offers a Motorola Squelch/cos board that can be added to just about any fm radio. That board has the double squelch system, instant squelch release on strong signals and a squelch that follows weak signals right into the noise. We've used that board on some of our repeaters. That board connects right to the discriminator output in the radio. Big improvement over the stock Mitrek squelch. Walter VE6ANI Home Page |

I have heard the Mitrek squelch circuit is terrible. Guess I'll have to see for myself.

Its thick because of its application to tools. I use this stuff at work to cap the Motorola antennas on the HT's they lose those caps and scratch everyone or things around the work area, This stuff is great but you would need to be thinned in order to work onto a base antenna.

I am looking for a scan board for a GE s-550 contril head. Or the microprocessor chip for the later version scan board the one without the battery. I think the early verson bord the one with the battery will also work but would need the complete board. Thanks Jim W8WRP |

Another option: the rubberized roof coating, applied thinly with a
brush to the antenna. It holds up for several years in the Arizona sun. All for now./Comments invited!

Has anybody used epoxy paint?
I have heard of it being used for plastic/fiberglass dirtbike parts that flex a lot. I have seen it sold in spray cans for kitchen appliance refinishing. What do they paint airplanes with? That should work well on a antenna. $.0179 (not quite worth 2 cents) Ed N3SDO Ed Bathgate RMA Dept (724) 772-8785 pager (412) 649-6773 |

From: Cris Caraballo <ccarabal@...>Voters use a dedicated receiver for each link at the voter site. It is important that those receivers have the same audio frequency response. The voter simply compares the audio level of all of the receivers. If a given signal has more voltage on one receiver than another, then it must have more noise. Thus, the voter will vote the receiver with the least amount of audio. Justin and Kim Reed NUJQ and KBNTH 910 N. Argyle Minneapolis, Kansas 67467 e-mail: jreed@... The N0UJQ Homepage |
