* Build cabinet for #RCHWD site, must house computer, radios, power supplies, TNCs. Computer should have 2 serial ports and wireless network card. Computer obtained, build in progress.  Total count is 5 radios (1 6m, 2 2m, 1 1.25m and 1 70cm) and 6 TNCs (BPQ32 will be on all but APRS TNC, which will be linked to VM of Linux running Xastir for a digipeater/Igate).  The 6th TNC will be wired to "share" the 145.010 radio to give both BPQ32 service as well as a Linux based RMS gateway. '''***Update 5/11/09***''' Computer built on Dell, had problems with Linksys N card, transplated into IBM desktop, still getting inconsistant behavior with wireless card.  Going to return PCI card and locate Wireless Bridge.

'''***Update 6/02/09***''' Midland Syntech I onsite @ CMHSW2.  Channel 42, 440.050.  There are audio problems.  Reversed TXA and GND on mic connector which did not fix.  Suspect extremely low TX drive level from TNC.  Will need to revert mic cable wiring and crank up R76 in TNC to get adequate audio drive.  Also ensure preamp has been transplanted into radio successfully (take neutered mic + HT)

Latest revision as of 14:30, 15 April 2018

Here is a list of things we are collectively working on.

Purchase

  • Acquire/split up power supplies at CMHSW2, CMHSW3, CMHSW4, #RCHWD to handle higher load from Midland LMR Radios
  • Acquire large spool (1000ft) of RG-213 and PL-259 Connectors. ***Update 11/08/09*** Secured 3 500ft rolls of LMR400 clone cable. 1st roll is consumed post MECH install.
  • Continue to acquire gear/test equipment for shared workshop. Will need antennas to cover as much HF as possible, 6m, 2m, 222 MHz, 70cm. Spare power supplies, few computers for workstations/web search, eprom burning facilities, packet host to test cables for 4 main interfaces: soundmodem(Linux), DRSI, TNC2, Kantronics 9 pin.
  • Locate portable computer, 20amp switching power supply and appropriate cabling for a portable LMR programming station covering both Syntech I and XTR/Syntech II models.
  • Syntech I programmer. Ordered on 5/5, expected ship on 5/7. ***Update 6/02/09*** Programmer arrived, successfully programming Z-273 and Z-383 modules.
  • Diamond MX-2000 (6m/2m/70cm) Triplexers with pigtails to allow connections to LMR radios.
  • SWR Meter effective up to 1200 MHz for usage for 33cm and 23cm antenna construction. (Diamond SX-1100) ***Update 1/26/10*** Meter purchased
