Re: Tait Equipment UPDATE: Good News-Bad News
Don't know how significant of update this is, but I did find out there are at least two pallets of equipment in storage. Most of it may be VHF TB8100s and some TB8500s, we think. We have 13 multi-cast

Re: Reality check on capabilities of GRMS repeater

Re: Reality check on capabilities of GRMS repeater
That’s not a bad deal. Of course, the prices I gave were new. It is getting ridiculous what new equipment costs.

Re: Reality check on capabilities of GRMS repeater
What is your budget? I would recommend a good quality antenna(Sinclair or DB), and a Kenwood repeater. Of course, good duplexer and LDF450 feedline or equivalent. Stay away from any of the LMR cables.

Thanks all for your responses. I'll try the first solution as it seems the most simple, however, increased complexity means increased the fun out of it!

Re: Reality check on capabilities of GRMS repeater
Man if I could put a repeater up on a 3000 ft mountain I'd be happy.. ?
I guess one on a 50 to 100 ft tower at your house would probably be better
than what you've got right now.

Re: GE Delta/Rangr programming
Hey Jeremy, do you still have the Rangr? Is it ready to go on 50MHz FM ? We're trying to setup some local links for packet but I'd love to get a 50Mhz repeater online.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. That'd be a hell of a try to put a RJ11
