"SHTFLI" GMRS Repeater 462.625 MHz

[namhcor]

As an update to this thread, SHTFLI is also interfering with a long established GMRS repeater in NJ. A station broke into their private net last Sunday night to complain.

Namhcor...why don't you reach out to the owner as he suggested in post #36. Complaining about it on a public forum without taking appropriate steps to contact the person that is allegedly causing the interference (even after he invited a conversation) is just beating a dead horse at this point.

I've given up on trying to resolve any issues that may be on going. You stated it best Signal-Zero as I can only do so much. As far as the nj interference is concerned. If mathmaticly you can explain how my output becomes his input that would be great. Now if I had someone between him and I who flip frequencies to cause malicious interference and you knew of this activity I would hope you would shed some light on that situation. For now I will monitor and be here for any questions or concerns.

Thank you all

Well Said!

Update... I monitored a station complaining that the SHTFLI repeater regularly interferes with their repeater system in Ansonia, Connecticut. It sounds to me that the SHTFLI is not running the legal maximum power allowed.

"Sounds to me" = assumption. CT is a straight shot across the LI sound. 50 watts and a good antenna can easily make its way over there.

My 25 Watt (at the output) repeater has coverage from the South Shore of Long Island to quite a few parts or Connecticut. Its all about elevation. Both tower and natural. I would like to know what is considered interference at this point. Being heard is not interference. Just curious?

You monitored? Lovely! so you heard the same thing that I was saying when I had the conversation with that CT based station. He was not compliaining, actually his comments were full of compliments. He was amazed of the signal and audio quality of our repeater system and once checked out our website SHTFLI.COM applauded what we do. In fact, he is now in the process of becoming a member. Pretty sure he wouldn't support an organization that causes problems on his end. As far as your complaints I think all here will agree that they will be ignored at this point. We have given you MANY opportunities to reach out to us to resolve any issues, you chose to ignore our extended hand. As for our repeater system, we run a GE Masteriii, with an arcom controller and cat wx-250. Repeater is putting out LESS than legally allowed power. I will add that we are on a commercial tower with a ground elevation of 300ft, ground elevation at site is roughly 175ft above sea level. Like someone suggested, yes it is located in Plainview NY. We do use all hard line cable, and a well tuned high gain commercial antenna. This information is not a secret all you had to do was ask.

Since this posting began our organization has grown rapidly, we have a member base larger than some ham clubs, We also are now recognized by many local emergency departments including Nassau County CERT and Nassau county ARES. In fact, we are in the process of completely re structuring the radio comms portion of CERT basic course. Our goal is to simply educate the importance of reliable communications,especially here on long Island where it has proven to be ever so important. I hope this helps shed some more light to the subject, if it doesn't Namhcor, I suggest you remove your black out sunglasses.

Also I would like to comment in your comment about our power output. "It sounds to me that the SHTFLI is not running the legal maximum power allowed." You are 100% correct. As stated in prior posts from us we actually run below maximum FCC allowed power. The the E's of RF. Elevation, Elevation, Elevtion!

I'm going to tune in.
I have always wanted to be a part(listen in) of a GMRS SYSTEM. I drive all over the island for my Job... it might be nice to have another voice in the car. I don't hear as much action on VHF/UHF and I used to.

I find this quite amusing. I also heard the station in Athesna CT That night it was between 1 and 2 am if my memory serves me correctly. And I don't recall the station. Complaining at all. In fact I remember the exact opposite. The station had a good 20 mi ute conversation about how impressed he was with S.H.T.F.L.I's coverage.

Namhcor. Why do you seem to have it out for these guys. And seem to always try to be negative. But yet when people call you out on it you ignore it.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sensing a bit of jealousy

No jealousy here. I just will not respond to you newbies that are joining this forum for the sole purpose of spreading SHTFLI propaganda. I know what I heard and it wasn't what you say it was.

"Newbie" is a relative term. Given the fact that someone new here on RR may actually be far more knowledgeable on a given topic that a RR user with say, a hundred posts to his credit, slinging the term in a derogatory fashion is pretty much a silly thing to do. Belittling someone that you know nothing about is even sillier, and it does not bolster your point of view.

It originated with the English Language, not GMRS. You seem very anti GMRS, almost what I call "Ham Arrogant". Why is it once someone gets his Ham license he feels superior and qualified to criticise all other forms of radio. I enjoy all forms of communication, I have my Ham and GMRS license. I prefer GMRS simply so I don't have to put up with that arrogance. I don't condone foul language but I am not a unrealistic prude either.

It amazes me how that word makes people "gasp with disbelief" but G.D. Is used liberally in TV and film. A small history lesson of the word. In the old days, most goods that were transported any distance were transported via ship. Ships had to be loaded with some forethought, as the deck and some lower decks got exposed to waves during the voyage. So some things that were susceptible to getting wet needed to be identified much as we mark things "fragile" today. They were marked Ship High In Transit, or S.H.I.T for short. So there you go, the origin of such an "awful and ugly word". The more you know.....(stars move across the screen and so forth")

It seems you have a problem with this group and are not listening to facts. They run a LEGAL repeater system operating UNDER the legal limits. They only permit lic operators. They educate others in the proper use of radio systems. They spend their own time and money helping others. It's a good thing and that's why people join them.

Can I suggest the next time you "think" you hear someone complaining you make a note of their call sign. You mention a station in CT. Well that operator has joined SHTFLI so you appear to have misunderstood the conversation. As strong as the SHTFLI signal may be perhaps it does not reach all the way down to you or there was local interference on your end.

Btw the CT station you claim was complaining comes in strong on LI. Why? Two stations both with ideal locations and antenna height will tend to communicate well even on low power if properly set up. It's physics. But it's only stations willing to take the time to set up a system correctly that can get their signal up there.

I think that everything that could be said about this topic has been said and the interested parties will continue to argue their points with no end in sight.

For that reason, I'm closing the thread.
