Good price...Kintronic is tops in broadcast. What's the power and frequency rating? Cover 2m? I may be interested

Free for shipping costs, estimate $60 each to ship inside the US.
Contact me directly if interested.

Chad,
Can't beat these for cheap dependable cameras. They have survived "outside" inside chicken coops, hurricanes, and southern tornadic weather for at least 2 years now. Set them up at the house before you go out, and set them to lowest video settings to save bandwidth, use the TAPO app on your phone to view them from anywhere in the world.? You can even save recordings to say show the sheriff.?
Kory?

If you have Internet at the site (WiFi) a single cameral Amazon Blink system is about $50 and will detect movement and send notices and video to your cell phone. These are very small cameras and run off batteries with about 2yr battery life, no wiring needed. Hope they catch the scum.

Two of our repeater sites have door and window alarms that will cause the repeaters to broadcast “intruder alert, door open’ until the door is closed. Someone will hear that and call the police. Of course, these repeaters are inside the city limits.

Can we say a pile of scum!? That's really pathetic, if someone doesn't like someone else then don't take it out on the equipment. Maybe people should learn to grow up and leave things alone. Chad Nelson WI9HF/WRPL979 Janesville Wisconsin 608-754-8671 Send from my spectrum iPhone 16.

Hey Butch, figured I'd let you know that the issue I was having with JAWS and my rig blaster plug-in plane ? box was not computer's fault. The schematics we received to wire up the cable to the RC 210 controller was the wrong schematic for the wrong product so we wired the cable wrong. Aggravating!

[repeater-builder] weird issue
Hi,
?
I hope someone can help me figure out an issue. I am trying
to use a West Mountain Radio Rigblaster plug and play sound card interface to
run echolink.
?
The issue I am running into is that I use JAWS a screenreader
that reads text outloud from the computer since I am totally blind. When I have
my nomic working JAWS talks fine and everything is happy but when I connect the
plug and play, I get the usual computer sounds out of my speaker, but JAWS
doesn’t talk, (so I can’t do anything if it doesn’t read to me what is on eht
screen).
?
Does anyone have any ideas or how to make an external sound
card play nice together with the internal one.
?
I would be happy to use the internal card for JAWS, and use
the USB card to run the plug and play, but I run into the same issue with the
USB sound card.
?
Thanks,
?
Chad

We got it worked out. A config error in the code plug.
We are also running RSS through a VirtualBox VM running 32bit WinXP. We're even using a USB/Serial device mapped through VirtualBox.
There is adequate documentation on the repeater-builder website. Don't forget to save the codeplug as received (you need a 32-bit Windows OS). Some programming settings are required for the wireline audio to work, and Moto's REALLY WEIRD audio alignment
procedure.

Thanks for the input, we figured out the issue. The cable was wired to a pinout that didn’t exist for the plug and play unit. So we will pull the cable apart and re-wire it. ? ?

Re: WTB: OEM Cellwave 526-4-2 harness set
I think Jeff found me a set of pd526 cables in his stash that should work with this duplexer.
Thanks
A "new" cable kit is a bit expensive and Mark at Northcomm has them for $389.00. They are easy to make using RG-142 and crimp connectors, either silver plated or tri-metal for low PIMD. The RG-142 cable lengths are published somewhere or I can measure one of my sets.?
