    Does Wouxun KG-UV950P do 10m to 2m Crossband function??

    Does the Wouxun KG-UV950P crossband repeat function work with 10m to 2m crossbanding?? I read the unit will do VHF/UHF crossbanding, but wondered has anyone tried to do 10m and 2m crossband on it??

    Motorola GM300 wide/narrow and 'step' ??

    I just downloaded the RSS programming manual from the internet. On page 4-8 (pg. 72) it says the RX frequency must be divisible by 5khz of 6.25 khz... under the TX page 4-13 (pg.77) it says see your price sheets or manual for valid TX frequencies.. So I am correct to guess that a freq of...

    Motorola GM300 wide/narrow and 'step' ??

    I setup a GM300 for my truck that is wideband according to the model number.M33GMC29C2AA. It accepted all local repeater frequencies in RSS and seems to be working as I can trip them and they sound clear coming in with tones and such. Some of them are like 146.835- and 147.285+. My question...

    Fiplex, Sinclair, or Wacom BpBr Cavity Duplexer for 2m..??

    Okay, so you all win.. I get it duplexers.. now which brand do you prefer for this.. The 'repeater' is to be 2 of the GM300 ( have one already) which will TX at either 10w or 25w (still undecided, feel free to chime in on that too..), running a 600 khz split, and using an ID'omatic IV for CW ID...

    42db isolation between 2m repeater antennas, is that enough?

    I read alot of items online and at the RPT Builder website.. I had an active GMRS repeater in W. Texas though the 5mhz spread was easier to deal with a cheapy duplexer and it was FLAT out there (we were getting 60 miles).. Here in the mountains VHF is better and the repeaters near me are 30...

    42db isolation between 2m repeater antennas, is that enough?

    Guess I need to locate a large 4 cavity then when I get more fundage. They run $600-1k.

    42db isolation between 2m repeater antennas, is that enough?

    How about 1 of these single 'cavity' for RX and 1 for TX of these single 8" cavities?? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5336136228&icep_item=301909457655 For use on 90-150mhz, with N connectors.. Seller (who is a HAM) says it should add 25db...

    Using 1/2 of mobile duplexer for RX input only?

    I would like to use 1/2 of mobile VHF duplexer as a 'filter' on the RX radio as part of a repeater setup. The radio is RX only and will not be set to transmit at all. I noticed most BP filters only do low db isolation where duplexers do like 50-60db. Can the unused freq side be just left...

    2 Dup/diplexers for 2m repeater?

    To clarify my question better, has anyone on here used 2 of the 4-6 cavity mobile duplexers to get band split desired and how do you link the unused connections for the unused part of the split? I don't mind running 2 antennas and just running a VERY low loss coax to the further one (I got...

    2 Dup/diplexers for 2m repeater?

    Has anyone used 2 to get there desired split? And if so where how would you hook them together and what do you put on the open connectors? If I can use 2 of the $100 China ones and good connection coax I was thinking this may work to get a 600khz split (or 1mhz if easier.) I am still open to 2...

    2 Kenwood TM-V71A for repeater, antenna spacing??

    I have been looking into GM300 radios since I put this post up. The issue using the cheap $100 China notch duplexers is the tighteset they quote is 3.5 MHz.. They work great for GMRS repeaters and 70cm.

    42db isolation between 2m repeater antennas, is that enough?

    According to the commscope isolation calc at 146mhz using a 1/2 wave set of antennas (that's there baseline calc) at 65' on horizontal plane I should be at approx 42db isolation. What could I see for isolation db if I run just plane 1/4 wave (aka unity gain) antennas? My proposed setup is a...

    2 Kenwood TM-V71A for repeater, antenna spacing??

    While waiting for a reply to my OP I did some 'road testing' today. I used a Baofeng 5w HT with one of the Tram 1181 antennas on the roof of my truck (NMO mounted thru roof).. The single KW 71a was up and running at 10w output with a Comet 2x4SR antenna at the house and a simplex repeater...

    2 Kenwood TM-V71A for repeater, antenna spacing??

    I have 2 Kenwood TM-V71a radios I'd like to set up a small 2m repeater with.. Receive 2m on unit #1 and then using the 70cm side to transmit (at 5w low) the signal across the house to the 2nd unit in 70cm and then out 2m.. The unit(s) features CW ID'er and remote turn off via DTMF control if...

    Galaxy DX Meter Off After Tuneup..

    Yes. Malaysia made. Guessing newer model. Thank you. I opted to follow cbtricks and turned up power knob on front on channel 19 with my 1.1 swr and adjusted VR9 myself to read 10w on front meter. Then backed off front power to lowest power and got my 3.5w. So the front meter now matches the...
