Dude - You Are Responding To A Post Dated 12.22.2022....... Please Take The Time To At Least Look At The Date Of The Post You Are Responding To With Your Comment Post.......

Folks Need To Remember / Research NAFTA, & How It Has Miserably Failed...... Originally Drafted In The Late 70's & Only Major Corps & Investors Benefitted. NAFTA Destroyed US Manufacturing...........

From 47 CFR part 95.303: Definitions... Fixed station. A station at a fixed location that directly communicates with other fixed stations only. Base station. A station at a fixed location that communicates directly with mobile stations and other base stations.

Wrong, Wrong & Wrong..... This Is Not A Squelch Tail, It Is The Repeater Hang Time Where The Transmitter Remains Open, But The Receiver Is Closed Waiting For The Correct CTCSS Or DCS To Reopen The Receiver For Retransmit. It Is Normally Set To 2 to 3 Seconds, Not Minutes. The Intent Purpose Of A Repeater Hang Time, Is To Enable Users To Reactivate The Repeater With The Correct "Tones" So As Not To Have A Repeater Drop Out Completely & Restart The Transmit Cycle. Squelch Tail Is Something Completely Different, & The Repeater Hang Time Is In Place To Help Continue Convos & Should Be Used For It's Intended Purpose To Save On A Complete Restart Of A Repeater..........

Mr Shannon - You Are Point Blank Wrong...... Re-Evaluate Your Research...... Again, As I Stated Yesterday On Another Forum Question, There Are Those That Will Consistently Argue There Point To Get The Last Word. All Cell, Public Safety, Municipal & Commercial Radio Site System Installations - Wrap N Connectors For Moisture..... I Can See Why, Among Other Things, WRKC935 Bailed On This Ridiculous Forum, As Is Mine After Tonight. Too Many Book Smart, But Street Less Then Street Knowledgeable Folks Posting Ridiculous Opinions For New Users. Good Luck To You All - Hope You Get In Your Last Word - Peace Out...........

Or..... Back To More You Tube Book Smart & Street Stupid Professors & Vids........ Good Luck In Finding The Solution To Properly Wrapping / Weatherproofing Your Station Outdoor RF Connectors.

N Type Connectors Are Not Sealed Any Better Then A UHF Connector - Neither Are Sealed To Outside Elements..... Amusing Statement - N Connectors Were Utilized In My 800 MHz Business Repeater Station, Along With My (2) Currant Large Footprint GMRS Repeater Stations, The Osceola 600 (Indiana) & Niles 725 (Michigan). So In Answer To Your Question, Yes I Have Seen An N Type Connector Or Two, & Know There Limitations For Outside Moisture Ingress........

N Type Connectors Are Not Sealed, Nor Are They Sealed Any Better Than Any Other RF Connector Used In An Outside Application. Grease On The Threads On A Coax Connector Has Nothing To Do With Preventing Moisture Ingress. They Are A Running Thread, Not A Pipe Thread, Therefore A Grease Compound Is Not The Solution For Proper Outside RF Connector Waterproofing. Proper Wrapping 1st With A Quality Butyl Tape From The Bottom Up & Then Covering With A Quality Electrical Tape, Again From The Bottom Up Will Ensure Proper Moisture Ingress To An Outside RF Connector.

Sounds Like The Start Of A Great Game Plan. Good Luck On Your RF Adventures.......

And It Is Not BS - It Is My Opinion On What I Would Do - Just As You Acknowledged. Further, I Never Said He Must Follow My Advice. You Sir, Need To Get Off Your High Horse & Stop Condemning Everyone's Opinion. Your Logic Is Your Opinion - And I Don't Necessarily Agree With Your Mindset On RF.......

Utilizing A 50 Watt Repeater With 20 Watt Mobiles Will Enhance Your System. If It Were Me - That Is Exactly The Upgrade I Would Use For My System........

DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) & DPL (Digital Private Line - Motorola Term) Are The Same. Most DPL Codes Also Have An (N) For Normal, Although Some Use (I) Meaning Inverted. DTCS (Digital Tone Coded Squelch) Is Also The Same, Just A Different Manufacturer's Term For A Digital Squelch Setting.

Well I'm Confused With The Question & Answers. Why The Concern About A 5 Kilohertz (kHz) Offset On GMRS Channels / Frequencies ? Offsets For GMRS Repeater Pairs Are 5 Megahertz (MHz) Guessing The Question Had A Typo, Or Are You Attempting Something Else ?
