145.430 Repeater

This Repeater Is Split Site starting At Utica, Pa

The Transmiter ? Well Its Getting A Change So Check back To See

Where It Might Be Put

The Out Put Is 145.430 and The Input Frequency Is 144.830 With A Full Time PL Of 186.2

This Ge Mastr 2 Base Station Has Been Reworked

This Repeater Was On 159.110 and Redone To The Frequency That It Is On Now . I Went To www.Repeater-Builder.com To Get Some Information On The Mods That I Needed For Retuning And Other Information That I Needed To Get This Unit Up And Running .

The Out Put Power Is Around 100 Watts . I Put 2 Small 12 Volt Fan's On It To Help Keep The Power Amp Cool

This Repeater is Running A Split Site

This Is A Ge Mvp Vhf For A Receiver And A Ge Mastr 2 Base Station Vhf Transmitter

The Repeater Receives 144.830 At Utica , Pa And Then Transmits Everything Out A Uhf Frequency To The Transmitter Site And Then Out On 145.430 And Runs 100 Watts

This Receiver Antenna Is At The Top Of a 300 Foot Tower And Its Located At Utice , Pa

The Antenna Is A DECIBEL PRODUCTS DIVISION 4 Bay Dipole

DB224- BROAD BAND ANTENNA, 6 OR 9 Db GAIN, 138-174 AND 220-222 MHz This popular antenna is available with four folded dipoles for high gain and broad bandwidth. Broad Response - 10 MHz bandwidth provides optimum performance in single or multi-frequency systems, on both transmit and receive. Circular Pattern - DB224 has four elements positioned evenly, every 90 degrees around the mast, for omni pattern. Offset pattern - DB224E comes with four elements aligned collinearly on the same side of the mast for maximum directional gain. Dual Version - Two antennas on the same mast are fed and operated separately, providing 3 dB omni or 6 dB directional patterns. Two-Piece Mast - For ease of shipment and handling, the mast is made in two sections. A unique center splice assures proper alignment. Lightning-Resistant - The radiators operate at DC ground, and the aluminum mast with its pointed cap provides a low resistant discharge path to the tower or ground system. For Air Shipment - Model DB224X has a shortened mast, 124" (3150 mm). Ordering Information -Use model number for correct frequency and specify termination if non-standard. Add E for offset pattern, S for dual omni or ES for dual offset pattern. DB365-OS Mounting Clamps are included. For side mounting order DB5001 Side Mount Kit. For Stabilizer Kit, order 12088 (4 required). For shortened mast, order DB224X. Order jumper cable separately, if desired

The Transmiter Antenna For The Link Is a

BROAD BAND YAGI ANTENNA 9.5 dB GAIN, 440 to 450 MHz is a 6-element Yagi, is constructed with a reflector, four directors and a folded dipole driven element mounted on a common boom. Broad Bandwidth - 10 MHz gives optimum performance in either single or multi-frequency systems. Weather Resistant - The feed is enclosed within the dipole assembly for added protection from ice and snow. Lightning Resistant - All elements are grounded. Stacked Arrays - Two antennas proved 12.5 dB gain, four antennas 15.5 dB. A Vertical spacing of .75 to 1.0 wavelengths between antennas is recommended. Key Applications - are ideal for systems in need of broad band coverage, protection against severe environments, high gain in a narrow sector or reduced interference on the backside of the antenna. No Field Tuning - Antenna is adjusted at the factory for minimum VSWR. Rugged - is made of aluminum alloys and reinforced with .875" (22.26 mm) sockets at the boom. Brackets and hardware are galvanized steel. Ordering Information Use model number for correct frequency and specify termination if non-standard. Brackets and clamps are supplied. Other size clamps can be special ordered.
