Can anyone help me?
I own a business where we exclusively use Kenwood TK-8180 mobile and TK-3180 portable radios which are strictly UHF. We have one area where the use of the portable (TK-3180) radios simply cannot hit the repeater but the mobile (TK-8180) radios have no problem. I would like to set/build up a UHF/UHF mobile repeater in my car so that we can use the portable radios in the field while using the UHF/UHF mobile repeater to boost the signal.
I know that a cross-band VHF/UHF mobile repeater system would be a simpler choice. However, we already have all UHF radios, and it would be incredibly expensive to purchase a bunch of new radios just to set up the cross-band repeater system. I’m only interested in a UHF/UHF mobile repeater which I am aware will require a filter.
I have looked at the Pyramid Communications Vehicular Repeater and that is WAY too pricy for my blood. I have tried searching all over the internet to see how this can be done (including youtube) to no avail. Can anyone please send me step-by-step instructions on how this can be done (With all parts and cables needed) or even this can be done? Video would be awesome.
