Re: Duplexers 440
Terry, Most are rated at 50 watts. It would be wise to turn up the repeater and do some drive testing at the 25 watt level to find out how balanced the system is. A good start is the repeater transmit

Re: Celwave info
Hi Paul, The TDN nuber is a Motorola part number. That duplexer is common in the Radius line of low tier repeaters. It is a 6 cavity notch only unit. We have a lot of them in service and they work

Duplexers 440
Gentlemen: I am puting up a repeater on the local water tower (Flatlands of Kansas) at about 125'. I am using a Vertex repeater with a Rlc1-Plus controller. The repeater runs at about 25 watts and I

I was able to acquire a quantity of 'sealed' lead acid batteries that were new when they went into storage (read that as ouside on a friends deck) for 4-5 years. these batteries, although

Re: squelch tails
Lou, Joe is correct that the Mitrek squelch leaves much to be desired. I have about five of them in repeater service. The stock factory decoder does PL reverse burst detection to eliminate the squelch

Hi Charlie, In all probability, those duplexers will not function satisfactorily with 600 KHz. channel spacing as used on 2 meter repeaters. I seem to recall that they were designed for a minimum

Re: squelch tails
My experience with a Mitrek is that it will normally close in about 100 ms. This is normal for most receivers. A weak signal on a Micor will be longer than that, approaching 200 ms. I am having some

Re: squelch tails
That is how Motorola designed the Mitrek. When they designed the wonderful two stage squelch in the Micor, there were relatively few systems using CTCSS, so CSQ operation was considered important. By

Charles, The DB4056 duplexer will not work if you are planning a standard 600 kHz split. They are designed to be used in applications with a minimum of 2 MHz separation. For specifications go to:

I would agree with much of what Paul has said. I do however take pleasure in reporting that indeed this is not commercial radio. Thank goodness. Our goal can be different. I site as an example the

Re: retransmitting user IDs
WRONG - althought not a FCC mandate, most repeater owners stipulate that the user insure his ID is repeated. FCC upholds these type of rules of the repeater owners. 73 P

Re: Coordination
Agreed. PL is wonderful for those who wish to listen, but if someone actually want to *use* any of other two repeaters then there is going to be QRM. My subtle point was that PL does not make a
