[App_rpt-users] AllStar Repeater

[Dale Weber]

	Hi all,

	I'm trying to get a repeater project going and think I have most of what 
I need to know figured out.

	I'm unsure about the duplexer. Can these be bought from some source? How 
do I pick an appropriate one for my application? Right now, I am thinking 
about getting two Alinco 2M mono band radios for this project. I've thought 
about maybe using the Motorola Maxtrax radios, but am not sure what is 
required to program them. I know it has to be a radio with the 16 pin 
connector.  Beyond that I'm pretty much green with respect to setting up a 
repeater.

	I'd love to setup a small low power local service repater centered on my 
church's location. I haven't approached the church about this possibility yet, 
since it's still very early in the planning process.

	Those Motorola Maxtrax radios are really attractive because it's possible 
to get a pair of them on eBay for around $100.00 or so. Put these together 
with a $100.00 computer from our local FreeGeek store, and that's most of a 
repeater if I understand this all correctly.

	Ideas, feedback, etc, welcome! :) :)

	8-Dale
