repeater

I Just got a 40W Maxtrac 300 for my repeater It just wont transmit to my Repeaters frequency of 444.500MHz. It transmits for a sec and stops. It seems to transmit fine on 449.500. (Duhh, its in the bandsplit range) The bandsplit is 449-470 or somthing like that, and I want it to transmit out...

I am looking into building a portable GMRS repeater. My question is that if my 5 watt UHF radio isnt powerful enough to transmit to the secondary radio how will a repeater help? Isn't a repeater limited by how far the handheld can transmit? Thanks

Hello guys, Me and my fellow hams are preparing to build a repeater (2m & 70cm), solar powered, sharing the same site/tower. So far, we've acquired all but the antennas. I found a few, but decided to go with the same guys that built our duplexers. They list the antennas needed for our...

Wanted to see if anyone could or knew someone that could build a small all in one GMRS repeater. I want repeater,duplexer, power supply, tone board all in one small unit. Just plug it in attach antenna and go. I'm not one to build things myself nor do I want to spend 500 on ebay. Thanks!

WB2HWW 440.700 A CB Like repeater in NYC Queens. The regular bunch of cronies that operate are extremely unfriendly and very clickish! It sounds more like a group of good-buddies that migrated from channel 19 on 11 meters. They consistently bash fellow ham operators and make fun of the less...

Hi all- I am new to scanning and amateur radio in general and I had a couple questions regarding repeaters. I have browsed the FCC records, and determined the frequencies my school uses. I programmed them all into my scanner, and the only one I have heard anything on is: 463.9125 I have...

Hello all, I have been given an...interesting...challenge to work through. I was recently informed that an agency I am working with will be receiving the new Harris Unity system for the Incident Management Teams. That said, one of our biggest necessities is the ability to deploy portable...

I am just thinking one day, and the thought came to me (and I am in no way knowledgeable of radio networks) do law enforcement use some kind of repeater in the police car to help amplify what is coming out of their handhelds. So if the handheld can only transmit 10 miles, the repeater in the car...

Why is it that the Ham radio repeater in Killingworth requires an input PL (110.9) but when it broadcasts its own identifier, it broadcasts with no PL? Is this common practice with Ham radio? I am not at all familiar with amateur radio and only noticed when I was monitoring the channel with a PL...

First off if this is in the wrong section my apologize it looked like the most fitting! I am looking into getting radios for my company in the near future as we expanded & start providing services in the county, My first thought was to try & use unlicensed radios from like radio shake, how ever...

Hi everyone, new here. I have a quick question. My family and I are currently in the process of moving, and thus have packed away all of my scanners already, thinking that there wouldn't be any significant weather to worry about. Now look at tomorrow. Now to my question, I have looked everywhere...
