    Repeaters on UP-North Metra?

    Hello all, I like to monitor commuter trains (the Metra UP-North line). I know they use AAR channel 62, which is simplex, but I've noticed they are repeater antennas on the posts next to the metal boxes. Is there a channel to talk to train dispatch? Or is it for Metra Police? Thanks!

    Constant tone on repeater transmit freq

    A repeater near me constantly plays its CTCSS tone on its transmit frequency (70cm analog "ARES repeater"). The tone stops while it is repeating, so messages to its input frequency are heard properly. This is the only repeater I have heard that does this. Is this repeater malfunctioning? It...

    Does a TKR-850 need a pass/reject cavity filter?

    I have a TKR850 repeater that has both a duplexer and a Motorola T1501AL pass/reject cavity filter in the RX path. It previously served as a business repeater in a metro area, so this made sense. It's now going to a remote mountain ranch where there is little RF in the environment and certainly...

    I'm trying to figure out if there's any kind of solution to linking a UHF Mototrbo system with a VHF analog system. Neither system are encrypted, so I'm wondering if theres some kind of repeater or bridge that can link each other to allow interoperability even if its a DVRS system. Unfortunately...
