Weird signal on 451.8 in Austin

[W5ATX]

To add to the confusion participating members have multiple accounts and play games with updates, info and posting information.

May be time to clean up all the duplicate accounts again. Cutsie coy crap gets old real quick.

Maybe i mistook that for me being a participating member in this thread because when you made that comment, only me, the OP and rattlerbb01 had posted.

and thanks Russell, i'm trying to contribute more, this year has been a bumpy ride.

Glad you chimed in ki5kat, maybe you can clear things up. I performed a quick google search and it shows that you and n5uwu are admins for the tetra ham repeater on 441.800 (via QRZ) and looks like there's a new listing for 451.800 (via FCC search) under the same Centex group. it's not uncommon for ham guys to have multiple repeaters on different bands and try to get them with the same suffix frequency.

Said TETRA RPT isn't a shared project. That's my thing. We both work on Centex however.
Also said TETRA rpt isn't on 441.8(I thought I fixed that but guess not) Its on 441.1 due to complaints(and my refusal to deal with "Digital Isn't real ham, hams")

On the lic we have 4 freqs in UHF and one VHF freq that was not put in right and really can't be used till I bother to update the lic.... 451.8 isn't used as much in the area and thus was selected for both temp sites. The CC's don't go 24/7 and have a 1-3 min break late in the eve when there isnt much system use. However, once the W/A sites start going up they will be fulltime CC with a license that my smoothbrain didn't do the app for..... But I'll let KAT chime in now XD

You can run TETRA on amateur? I honestly had no clue it was approved mode.

I also did not know you could trunk on amateur bands either..

So full-fat trunking is a no on ham, as the operator must have control over their TX freq. VOC is ok, but Multi-channel is a no.

TETRA is 100% good to go and has been for years unlike what Motorola would like you to think

I highly doubt MSI gives a crap what you do on the amateur bands…but I could be wrong.

Your correct, I was wording that as a jab towards Moto US's position on it in the P90 space

Ok. You were talking about the amateur band so I had no way to know that.

Yea that one was on me. I prob should have been more clear. TBH Part of me blames TETRA not being ok for use (in P90) until 2012 more on the FCC and their outdated rules.. However moto def had some backhanded input in suppressing it... Mostly bc of their strangle hold on the P25 market but we won't get into that here... FU moto, oh yea also that P25 gear is 2/4 times more expensive than the comparable TETRA units, once again.. won't get into that here.

25 kHz wide signals are so 2010 (ala iDEN).

God I love iDEN.... If only all the gear wasn't sent down to cuba and South America XD

and tbh, one 25khz 4 slot signal is better than two 12.5 2 slot signals.... just due to channel spacing.

WiDEN for the win!

I still have my WiDEN PCMCIA card. Whopping downstream of 19.2…..assuming you had all four carriers to yourself.

Getting OT, but the in all seriousness, Nextel was the best job I ever had and was the most awesome company ever. Sprint OTOH sucked…big time.

iDEN was good tech for the time. Def outclassed nowadays.. however...

The original question has been answered, so I think we're done here.

I dont know why you struck out the truth.
Also the narrowbanding ruined DESTROYED UHF LMR performance. If narrowbanding was so crucial for freeing up spectrum why didn't FCC (A wholly owned subsidiary of /\/\) fix the VHF band repeater pairing with allocation of new 12.5 KHz channels? Its all about $$$$$$.

I dont know of anyone who got fired for choosing Harris. Maybe EFJ lol.
