This is a very simple installation, altough smart enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The antenna is a X-30 collinear dipole from Diamond, put at the summit of a 75 mt high steel tower less than 3 Km from my home QTH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repeater data are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Callsign: IR3\/IW3HVB (Temporary)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Frequency: 431.425 MHz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shift +1600 KHz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tone: 94.8 Hz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mod.: FM + C4FM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Power: 5W<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Locator: JN65BL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The repeater is based on the well known DR-1X from Yaesu, and serves very good in a 50 Km wide radius for mobile stations, and for 15 Km on hand helds, covering the Venice mainland area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Repeater has temperature compensated cavities as diplexer, and a circulator on TX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some 90 mtrs of 7\/8 cellflex cable guarantee an acceptable loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The repeater is UPS protected and has a petrol generator on standby in case mains should fail. The generator tank gives around 20 Hrs of off-grid time before need to refuel. Switch from Mains to genset and vice-versa are fully automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great attention has been given to the electrical protections, with good earth connections, and in-line dischargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [slideshow_deploy id=’4460′]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a very simple installation, altough smart enough.
