Morning! I added a 'repeaters' section to the DELMARVA GMRS club page. Feel free to post away and promote your repeater and any other activity in the area.
The unit has been taken to Delmarva Communions and I am waiting on a diagnosis. Hopefully it will be repairable for a reasonable cost, I like the fact I can have a repeater to let everyone use. I have thousands in tower, hardline and antenna no to mention the the unit and a bunch of mobiles and ht's..hope it's going to be worth repairing for all to use.
I tried using just one channel and then putting the original code plug i was given when I got the repeater and it still hangs on but now with static that's choppy. I tuned a new duplexer and still the same thing happens. Anyone suggestions on where to send a sick repeater near Delaware ? I did see one place in North Jersey, anyone have any suggestions on an affordable repair location ? Thanks everybody for the help....
Well you know way more than I do about it, its really frustrating me to the point I am ready to give up after putting a ton of money into everything ... I just don't know where to start testing to see whats wrong.
its definitely not that. I can be in the car a mile away and still get a sequel after the tail ends. I can even hear it through the speaker on the repeater. it will happen even with the duplexer removed and two separate antennas. It does it with or with out the duplexer.
Ok so this repeater on desk mode works as it should. On repeat mode it will repeat the broadcast, the repeater tail ends then when it does it still transmits but does so with a squeal and will not stop unless the power is turned off. Any suggestions of where to start ?
I received the new VNA last night and now I see the first one was definitely the problem Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help this new to vna guy... here is a pic of the sweep I am now getting...
ok, now that makes sense, nobody has said that b4. thank you. I am waiting on a new one I still think this one had issues. I am due to receive it Wednesday so we can go from there.... thanks again.
