Re: Saturday system update. 442.100 and 927.025 QRT

 

I have a Kenwood TH-F6A HT with 2m/220/440 -- full power on all 3 bands.? Also have an ADI AR-247 220 single bander.? You can get them for a song when they pop up.? I think I paid $70 for mine shipped.

Joe, N3JI

Mobile rigs I have tried for 220....

Alinco DR-235 .....I have a new one I haven't tried out yet, but supposedly, it is a very capable radio for 220. Overall good reviews on eHam. Kind of hard to find sometimes. DXEngineering has them on occasion.

Others on 220.....
TYT TH9000D .....Seems to do the job on 220. No real complaints. eHam reviews not too complimentary.

A 2M/220 mobile rig fairly new is the Wouxun KG-UV920P-A. I gave it a 3/5 with a few quirks I don't like.?

Wish I had my Kenwood Tribanders (TM-742A) back of the 1990's. I had 3 of them over the years as I went in and out of FM. Best radio out there on all the bands, but very, very expensive even in the used market.

There are a number of HT's having 220 only and dual, triple band. I have a few (TYT TH350,?Wouxun KU-UV8T, but only for repeater testing. A good 25 watt mobile rig is the only way to go for mobile.

So what do you all recommend as a mobile rig?

Great news on the upcoming 220 repeater(s). In my over 35-40 years of operating a 220 machine at the TI Expressway site, I never heard any intermod at all. The 224.18 TI Repeater existed there for years and nary an intermod. On the 450 foot tower above and below the repeater antenna were repeaters on 2M/440 ham, 155/455/900 TI stuff and some City of Dallas stuff.?

Folks,

I just got back from Wylie and have pulled all the equipment. Some of
the stuff will probably be sold next weekend at hamcom.

I am going to head to grapevine after lunch to grab the 900mhz msf 5000
so I can haul it to hamcom as well.


The goal here is to raise money to help fund the deployment of a 220
machine at grapevine.

1.25m is AWESOME. Non existent noise floor. No intermod.. radios are
still available...


I will be updating repeaterbook shortly.
