So i have a pretty old VXR9000 repeater. i am wondering if there are any purposes for this? it is UHF with duplexer. I was wondering if i can use this for some kind of GMRS use, or something that everyone can use? i havent got any software cables yet because i am not sure if it is worth doing...

Can anyone tell me how to set up the RICK and how to program the PM400 to be used with the RICK. As of now I am using the RICK with the Radius radios that is working fine.

I have a question regarding antenna grounding options. I am looking to have a single UHF Repeater Antenna on top of a 4 story building. The antenna will be mounted to the side of a elevated portion of the building/roof which is just about in the middle of the building with a fairly large...

I have submitted this question through Vertex Standard support, and am awaiting an answer, but thought I would give a shot here too. Actually 2 questions . . . 1.) I notice that Vertex supports LTR trunking through several products (ie., 420A, 2200, 450 & 4x00 series), yet they have no...

A friend told me a few days ago Norfolk Southern has a few repeaters set up along the Pocahontas District with all the mountainous terrain. Can anyone shed some light on that?

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...

What design can enable me to get 2 repeaters to talk to each other when the repeaters have identical Tx and Rx? Requirements: All radios on this system use the same Tx and Rx All repeaters on this system must communicate with these radios This would be a repeater...

I have two Motorola CM200's and trying to setup a repeater between both. I have: https://www.amazon.com/Generic-gsd-Repeater-Interface-Motorola/dp/B01DD0XMQM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478021378&sr=8-1&keywords=pm400+repeater+cable Can anyone please help me to know what to set within the...

Hi there, I am new to amateur radio and GMRS specifically (don't have my ham license just yet), and I had a question about repeater behaviour. If I transmit to a know repeater input frequency and have another radio next to me listening to the output, I only hear a static broadcast following...

My son is looking for GMRS repeater station equipment. We are working on an Eagle Scout project for my son. We wanted to get as close to the 50 watt max as we could. We are looking for a repeater or two units that can work as a repeater, cable, an antenna, a duplexer. Basically, everything...

This one is strange... I was sitting here with my PRO-651 on Signal Stalker when it stopped on 453.8375, I thought it would be another DMR Frequency, NOPE! it was St. Vincent's Hospital (Pretty close to me so I thought that had to be it) I looked under Jefferson County and went to FCC Licenses...

Hi everyone, I am on the security team of a church in Central Arkansas. We have two buildings that are roughly 300 - 400 yards apart (door to door). The distance for transmissions can often be further as a security team member could be transmitting from anywhere in the building. As a result...

I have a Sinclair Mobile Duplexer in a portable repeater. ( Sinclair Technologies Online Product Catalog - MR254B-2 ) I believe that this is a Band-Pass only duplexer so my question is if I wanted to reverse the TX and RX frequencies do I need to retune the duplexer? Or can I simply swap the...

I am looking for a mobile duplexer to be used in a low powered (5w-25w) portable repeater with about 8MHz frequency separation. Does anyone have any suggestions on mobile duplexers to stay away from or have any recommendations on what mobile duplexers seem to be superior or preferred as to others?

How does OpenSky work? Does it have repeater input frequencies? Like is it possible to only scan the input frequencies? I understand it is pretty much impossible to decode OpenSky conversations, but can an input frequency be used to tell whether or not an OpenSky user is near you?

I'm having a bit of trouble explaining our communication system differences to a coworker. We primarily utilize a UHF radio system with a repeater. So naturally we have 2 frequencies licensed to our program. We have a backup VHF system that is also repeated. We monitor UNICOM (123.050MHz) for...

Hi Guys; I have been monitoring local repeaters for some time but mostly use my radios for simplex comms. My FT 8800 works great for cross band repeating and simplex with HT's; its mounted mobile in my truck. I decided to jump in on a local repeater that's programmed in my 8800 and didn't get...

Trying to find the station/transmitter causing interference on 158.9400MHz possibly operating out of North Central Idaho or the Idaho Panhandle. The station is transmitting with a CTCSS Tone of 179.9Hz. No voice is ever heard and no CW ID or other station identification is heard. All I can hear...

I have a Motorola XPR8300 VHF Analog Repeater without an external power amplifier that all of a sudden has a lot of background interference or noise. The repeater is on a mountain top however a long ways from any other transmitters. It is the only radio repeater at its location. It is used for...
