vehicle repeaters

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

I know this thread is a little old, but I know exactly what this guy has because I have several of them myself. The were surplused from PA State Police. It is a VHF Syntor X9000 with a box that mounts under the drawer unit. Inside this box is the Y1082A. It has 2 antenna connectors, one labeled radio and the other antenna. There is a data connector that piggybacks on the drawer unit main block.
Inside it is a VHF crystal controlled receiver (YLD1003A) that looks part Mitrek. It has a HLD4052A pre-amp. There is a Motorola RDD4684A six can duplexer, and 2 antenna relays.
Think of the old Flexar repeater and you will grasp the concept.
In normal operation of the mobile unit, the RF relays would by-pass the Y1082A.
There is a repeater button on the Syntor control head that I imagine would energize the RF relays inside the Y1082A so a received signal would get routed to the external receiver.

The frequency the PASP used was 154.755 simplex. A handheld would transmit on 159.21 (PL 186.2) and the Syntor would repeat it on 154.755. The handheld would receive replies on 154.755.

Everyone is correct here that the Syntor itself is useless for commercial operation anymore, and the 150-174 split doesn't tune well to ham IIRC, and you have the hack the RSS to program the frequencies out of band.

Here is someone selling or inquiring about the same thing (pictures)
สà¸*บถามà¸*ุปà¸à¸£à¸“์ Motorola Model:Y1082A

Personally I'm interested in any information on the duplexers - anyone?

Very interesting device. It looks like that "duplexer" notches everything on the low side which would probably be the Syntor TX at 152.21 MHz. It would be helpful to trace out the cables and filters to see if it is one branch of notch filters or multiple. The fact that there is a 7 MHz separation between the YLD1003 receiver and the Syntor TX indicates pretty much the required separation of that filter.

At a system level, I wonder how the system prevented multiple Syntors from being keyed at same time by one portable? Was there PAC-RT logic? If so, how did it sense activity?

PASP must have later gone to Pyramid SVR200U's as I see a lot of those on E-Bay from PA.

Odd little side note. Came home with 11 RNet 450's today…several pieces of literature have not only referenced the RNet 150/450 as the VRS radios…but also nearly identical to the EXPO HT's on the main TX/RX board.

Those EXPO's were fine little radios with exception of the volume/monitor knobs which were made of bubble gum.

any chance of someone making a connector cable that works for this unit, and how much? thanks, Don

If you mean the data cable from the repeater box to the Syntor drawer unit, I have a box full of them. I'll send you one for the cost of shipping it.
Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a PayPal money request.

He must not want one that bad .....

motorola repeater

now back to the question on my motorola repeater y1802a. does anybody know about the wiring of the control cable to connect this back up to the radio. no i don't have a license. i don't need one to ask questions and to get my radio put together.

Did you read the replays above yours? Someone was offering to ship you a cable.

Unsubscribe. Clearly you do not read what people are telling you, and fail to understand what people are trying to tell you about the equipment you have.

Licensed or not, the gear you have is not narrowband compliant. Unless you plan on getting a ham ticket, you can not legally use the equipment you have.

The 'repeater' is not a repeater. It is a receiver, that uses the mobiles transmitter to rebroadcast what it hears from the portable.

data cable

yes master, i read the thread above mine just after posting mine. just pmed him and thanks for sticking your nose in about the license. you never know, the radio and channels could already be licensed. not that it's any of your business.

Don't get snippy with me because you can't read a post from over a year ago.

...thanks for sticking your nose in about the license. you never know, the radio and channels could already be licensed. not that it's any of your business.

Lol, you are funny. In your last post you stated you do not have a license.

Regardless if they are 'licensed' or not, the EQUIPMENT is not legal to be used on part 90 frequencies, because it is NOT narrowband compliant.

People have tried to help you, but like others, I'm done with your attitude and inability to understand what people are telling you.

Good luck on getting your gear working...

You only sent that PM today.

I initially had about 100 of complete units. I sold all the duplexers on ebay (they went fast) and about a month ago I tossed all the rest of it (except the channel elements) in the trash.
I would've gladly gave you as many cables as you wanted ,,,, sorry you took so long to reply.

repeater cable

i was deployed and i just got back in august. this was the first chance i had to respond. thanks anyway don

FWIW, I never could get them to work.
There was no settings in the RSS to program them to work with the drawer or the control head.

I'll check out my garage one more time, but I'm 99% I tossed it all.
