Motorola VHF Quantar SN 509CLR1418
stolen from site last Thursday...

Along with DB4060B ...missing mounting brackets. Both tuned to 146.36/96 pair?

they cut the tie wraps holding the 4 cans together..the brackets had been misplaced but found and were to be reinstalled when repeater was discovered missing?

Also cables from rptr to duplexer and duplexer to Heliax gone....Sinclair Duplexer in cabinet that the rptr was sitting on not touched nor a UHF MII repeater...so this was personal....and I have 4 suspects in the list.

Sheriff's office has been contacted.

Contacting Boone Co Iowa (ironic) where the duplexer was bought from to get the SN on both units bought..lost the paperwork?

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.

Hey Johnny, that's a good idea! You just gave me a really good idea for my repeater site that I'm gonna start to be using shortly. Should maybe find tiny surveillance camera and connect it up so I have monitoring capability visually. Just need to figure out how to get it to transmit over the Internet to my location 60 miles away.

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.

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.

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.?

Are they solely wireless with no hard wiring? And they're battery powered I assume?

I don’t have a dog in this hunt, but I would be careful what I posted in a public forum. Even if true, it is obvious you posted this in a malicious manner, opening yourself up to a libel charge, or a slander charge if you have posted anything inaccurate.?

Too bad this wasn’t “your site”, Chris. It’s ok though. Every amateur and GMRS operator in SE Texas is aware of your illegal activities and we all have a copy of your mugshot and charges.?
I hope you enjoyed the 3 day vacation in the slammer. Maybe now the FCC will rid us of you and your antics. Remember that one time you list your job for illegal operation of a telecommunication device? Which time??
I see you are out on bail and we are all so blessed that the “4 suspects” (Deputies) also installed a camera (WHAT A GREAT IDEA!) Never thought they would catch you at 0400, returning to “Your site”. There are so many other instances like this; we could write a book. I hope this group and any other you are enlisted to finally understands who WB5ITT really is.?

Chad,
Some of those under $20 miniature surveillance cameras have SD card slots and will capture 2 weeks of video. There is no reason to stream live video to see if the paint is drying. You can also set it only to capture video upon motion detection. I have installed them for a coupl eof grandma's who have no internet or computers. If they get broken into we've got video on the SD card I can pull for the police.?
?
Now- regarding if you need to actually get video 60 miles.. if you have internet at the site, My camera "called" my smart phone. and posted on the phone, it had detected motion and I watched someone turn around in my driveway from 1000 miles away..
?I surmise? the video clip was only streamed when upon demand I viewed it on my phone. I viewed the video that following day as the video was under night vision- black and white only. Daytime is full color.? That video came from my house internet connection. But no internet at the site?
?
Now I have a 4G wifi hot spot.
I have not set it up, for video.. But I use it for ALLSTAR audio. a Video movie (90 minutes approximate) at 1080i is about 2.5 to 3 gigs.. and about 5Mbps speed...
4G speeds I get 25-34 Mbps speed all the time I test for speed. So I could watch 1 HD movie on 4G.. maybe stream 2 at the same time.
?
On Ebay, I bought a T-mobile, new in the box 4G hot spot..surplus Here's one for an example:
$13.99 free shipping.... unlocked!
When I ordered it I ordered a SIM card from Tello.com They have a? 1Gb ($5/mo) 2Gb plan for $6 a month
Tello.com has a "bring your own phone" plan "DATA ONLY" 5Gb per month for $10 a month- Select 1-2-5-10 GB data- NO Minutes (no phone calls)
Tello uses AT&T and T-mobile towers..
?
You plug in the SIM card and activate per the instruction on the Tello.com website. If you go over data, you can add or just get throttled at peak times till your month renews.
?
I have the hotspot in my car... I have a RF shark openspot 2 for digital Fusion and DMR as well as a SHARI for Allstar VOIP. My ford radio I can connect to I heart Radio and Amazon Music. So I can listen to WOR NYC in Kansas..
3 months ago I checked my usage and had 3 days left and only used 3 Gb data.. That month I drove Wichita KS to Washington DC for the inauguration. Had wifi all the way....
That T-mobile will allow you to connect up to 10 devices and you can select 2.4 and5Ghz wifi..? Well worth the $14 cash layout..
It you want the hotspot on all the time, you connect it to USB power ( 5V DC) and pull the battery..?
?
I only have 21 miles to my repeater site.. Not 60, but this is very viable as you could throw up a Raspberry PI there and control all kinds of things..
?
Perhaps this is the solution for plenty of us. I like having my HT and connection to the car, then world wide. Finally, i have not played with it, but the T-mo hot spot does have port UDP & TCP forwarding.? i don't know if they are implemented but that surprised me as a AT&T hotspot does not.
