JohnE Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Posted June 20, 2014 Billy has said he can hit/hear it from his location on just the exciter. roughly 30 mi out.just an FYI Logan5 1 Quote
JohnE Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Posted June 20, 2014 looks like it will be a couple of more weeks before it gets back to full power.w/changes to this site there is a new 7' rack coming and the old cabinets are going to be removed freeing up quite a bit of floor space. I have to wait until school is completely out before this can be done though. looking at a full day or so of work to get it done. Quote

JohnE Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 snow for 1/26-1/28 I have given permission to NY area ARES groups licensed users as a backup to their machines.just an FYI Quote
JohnE Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 there is a second repeater on 575 w/the same input as mine w/different out put or it could be in open RXjust an FYIwill be going on a search mission as time permits Quote
JohnE Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Posted March 6, 2015 up datedidn't find the machine ,but its gone for now.there has been interference coming from the adjacent 12K lower freq. at night . it sounds like a scanner going out over a 25k radio w/some power. I can hear it as well as a friend in LIit is on the 467 side and wreaking havoc w/my input. I belove it is FRS ch8 will have to check later. zanebrooklyn 1 Quote
zanebrooklyn Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Look forward to hearing any new info, thanks for maintaining the repeater John! Quote
Steve Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 you know, i just looked at a chart of all the frs and gmrs frequencies, i never realized how close the gmrs input frequencies are to the frs radios. for example, FRS 467.5625 is 12.5k right in the middle of 467.5500 and 467.5750 for GMRS 1 and 2 repeater inputs. how good of a notch filters would you need? i've got the $100 black box duplexer, notch filter. in your case, obviously its illegal power on FRS if you can get that kind of distance. when you key up your repeater, do you get interference noise from the FRS frequency or is it more of a desense issue?

JohnE Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 there is equipment out there for problems like this but they run in the 10's of thousands of $$$$your typical notch filter is going to do nothing for adjacent channel interference, same goes for pass/notch.also keep in mind that if it is running 25Kc's on a 12.5K freq there is no way to filter it out, 1/2 of the signal is on you freq.the only solution is to hunt it down.been there done that more times than I care to remember on a professional level.
