[App_rpt-users] A "turnkey" solution for Allstar

[pete M]

Does I qualify as an experimenter? Done a homebrew dstar repeater out of a tk 840 and a tk 860hg, a dvrptr, a thin client with a moded HD and used 2 multicoupler lying around to build the needed duplexer?

Or I took out the card rack out of a damaged VHF msr 2000 used the receiver, (built a small regulator to provice the 9.4 volts needed for the xtal circuit) took a maxtrac 300 did the power control mod to drop it to 700 mW, connected it to a msr 2000 vhf full duty PA. And connected it on my home made vhf duplexer built of 4 BP can moded to notch... And connected this maverlous thing to an allstar node!

I am either a cheap bastard or someone that like to touch things..

> How the Appliance op gets on 440....Hop in family hooptie, drive to AES or HRO.Buy a $50 baofeng/TYT/Wouxun. Ask dweeb behind counter to program it for you. Buy a MFJ magmount with connector already attached. Get on WINSYSTEM and ask for radio checks HOURLY. Announce your "First Personal" and that your on the side.Tell everyone how amazed you are that a little radio is making it all the way to Ohio and that they have your meter pegged and sound "wall to wall & treetop tall". For Christmas ask wife to buy you a Mirage LINEAR (with proper cables for the Chinese HT) you can REALLY be the big dawg in town.
> For birthday ask kids to buy you a Yaesu crackerbox mobile, have local stereo shop install trunklip antenna mount.Plug radio into cigarette lighter outlet...
> For Anniversary have wife buy you a Alinco HF rig and antenna tuner. Connect the Alinco to your left over 11 meter Super Skyraker 47Db gain Omnibeam and use the tuner to get it to work on 10/15/20/40 meters. (dont even THINK of making flat top wire dipoles).Don't even THINK of buying a old Swan/Drake/Kenwood/Trio rig..might have to actually FIX something...
