Can I make a suggestion?? Of course, I don't know your specific situation but our experience is that jerkoffs who do that crave negative attention and would actually jam just to get us to turn the repeater off; If you can sort it out, a much better solution is to switch to an alternate input so they have to listen to you but can't do anything. Trust me, drives them crazy...

Re: Recommended VHF transceiver to use on NB 12.5 kc splinter frequencies
The Motrola?CDM series will also narrowband and are great mobile radios The CDM 1250 and CDM 1550 (my favorite)
Lloyd KO4L
Almost any Kenwood with the model TK-7xxx will do those splits.
The Kenwood repeaters TKR-750 and 751 will also do those splits.

the "splinter" fxs.?
The radios must have the proper "IF" filters on rec. for NB.
I have heard that the Motorola CM300 "May" be usable for NB
use.
I have a few Mot ASTRO Spectra mobile trunk mount radios. I
have read that if they are labeled "2.5 kc" they may be usable.
I have not checked the Astro Spectra radios yet. (FCC id #)
Any ideas of compatible radios for me to tell our radio club
about? (So they can utilize the rpt...LOL)
I appreciate any guidance or transceiver advice.

Re: Recommended VHF transceiver to use on NB 12.5 kc splinter frequencies
Hello Tim,
For mobile radios, the M1225 and CM300 will both work for narrow band. I would be very sure the P1225 and CP300 portables will also.

Re: Recommended VHF transceiver to use on NB 12.5 kc splinter frequencies
When the FCC (AKA Motorola) mandated narrow band for Part 95 services, they forgot that a small number of VHF channels, primarily VHF mutual aid channels required 2.5 KHz resolution.
?
Because manufacturers could continue to sell older model radios for a time, there are exceptions in that some VHF radio equipment may not properly resolve certain channels, which require the radio to resolve to 2.5 KHz channel steps.
?
(From my website:)
?
Examples are
VCALL -10 155.7525 MHz,
VTAC - 12? 154.4525 MHz and
VTAC - 14? 159.4725 MHz
These channels cannot be evenly divided by radio synthesizers, which do not resolve to 2.5 KHz.
Additionally, there are other VHF channels on these "7.5 KHz channel centers" which may be
troublesome.
?
I think you will soon realize that a lot of commercial VHF radios sold decades ago will be incompatible with your channel center.

One wire, ground, should be easy to figure out. Your +V should also be easy to trace. The output should be coming from the pot through a electrolytic capacitor... I don't think there's a line you need to ground to turn the encoder on but there may be. Just tie it to ground.. .. hooking it up to a modern synthesized radio, I would use switched voltage to feed to the +V... That way the only time the tone is being outputed is when the transmitter's keyed. It could cause issues if the tone is modulating the phase lock loop during receive.. Ask me how I know ??
Good luck with it

Tait TB-9300 Repeaters for sale
Good afternoon,
I have a couple of the Tait TB-9300 VHF repeaters for sale - currently they are set for Tier 3 DMR Trunking.? These are complete units - reciter, 100w PA, and 48vdc to 24vdc power supply.
These are dated May 2013 and working when removed from service.? The reciter says 148-174 MHz and the PA 136-174 MHz.? I have programmed ham frequencies down to 145.270 TX / 144.670 RX and the VCO stayed locked on the reciter unit.
Does anyone have an interest in these either as a complete unit or as spare parts?? I'm willing to part them out if someone needs parts.? Module / parts would include the PA, Receiter, power supply and chassis.??
Contact me off list with offers or for pictures.??

I have been using Ooma Teleo for my landline for some time. You buy their ATA device and pay about $7 a month for taxes. It works well for outgoing DTMF. There may be some problems with incoming DTMF. You might want to test it out.

Hi all,

I am running an Arcom rc210 repeater controller at a tower site that has no phone line, and I don’t want to pay for one.
?
Is there a way to use a data package from an ISP over the cellular network to connect to the autopatch and controller?
?
This is a fairly new venture for me so I have no clue how to make this work.
?
I suppose I could use Magic Jack, but would I need a router to connect to the Cellular network then hardwire into the controller?
?
Thanks,

- Magic Jack is a VOIP ATA that uses a PC for the processing...the MJ is an external dongle
- that provides the analog output to a RJ11...it is not a standalone ATA iirc..one local radio
- station used it for remote control dial up to a Burk...worked 50% of the time?
? Yeah, that’s what my experience was like when MJ first came out.? It was free, so my expectations were pretty low going in.? Nowadays, for $1 a month for a number and less than half a cent per minute, get a SIP trunk.? Perfectly serviceable ATA’s (Linksys, Obihai, et al) are around $20 on eBay. ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? --- Jeff WN3A ?

I did not know the term was "magic jack". I was tought it was a ATA connection. I guess I missed all of that.

I'm looking for some help with getting a GPIO command setup for a repeater disable function. We have had a little bit of interference from so people and want to be able to turn the repeater off for a few to try and get them to stop. I'm running a Pi 3B+ with a DMK URI with ASL3, has anyone here done this before?
Thanks,
KC0AMP
