Narrowbanding/Vehicle Repeater

[aschenavar]

Hello all! I am brain storming some ideas for my personal vehicle. I am wondering what components exactly I would need to run a vehicle repeater setup with the new narrow band requirements.

I have the following:
1) Kenwood TK-2212 VHF handheld (narrow band capable)
1) Motorola Maxtrac 300 VHF mobile (not narrow band capable)
1) GE Phoenix SX VHF mobile (not narrow band)

I'm thinking of trying to find a pyramid SVR but I am needing to know what other equipment or change of equipment I would need to look into with the narrow band requirements.

Also I would need to ultimately be operating on a high band 136-174mhz range. Sorry I'm new to this but it is very interesting so I am trying to soak up all the info I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Well for starters you need to modify your FCC license by adding the narrowband emission designator. Next you would need to replace the radios that are not narowband capable with radios that are narrowband capable.

If you are looking for a vehicle repeater the Pyramid units work pretty good. (I assume you mean a mobile extender.) If you are doing in band repeat you will need to pick frequencies that are as far away from each other as possible. Even then you may end up with a trunk full of cavities. Pyramid will help you select the frequencies and design the filter network that may be required. You will also need to modify your FCC license and add the MO3 frequency designation.
