220 MHz CDM1550

I've come on a bit of an opportunity here with a good price on some 220 MHz Motorola CDM1550 <http://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/products/two-way-radios/analog-busin…>'s for sale. They can be converted to the ham band and I'm willing to take care of this on the hardware/software side of things. These are really great mobile/base for the 220 band, much better in RF performance than any of the Chinese models on the market. They do require a simple programing cable and some software, but it's rather easy to use. The rest of the mod opens them up for 216-225 MHz, 255 channels, and 35W out. you get MDC, emergency response and QCII signaling as well. They come with a microphone. These were made for the NJ turnpike authority and have a GPS in them. I've never seen this option before, so I made a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoXTOw0r0Og I'm gauging interest with this, if you want one let me know, they will be $100 per radio with local pickup. I'll have them programed with all the Tampa Bay 220 repeaters in them. 73s -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.

Outage on hamwan tonight
by Bryan Fields 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Starting at about 20:27 EST tonight there was an outage on the uplink to our service provider. We suspect this is the same issue as last time as our equipment kept on working but a suspected bug on the providers router caused traffic to die. We've got them opening a ticket again with their vendor and hope we can resolve this happening. Sorry for the outage, but at least it's not our gear :D 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
