The fans are for the PA Amplifier. I had to make a mount to hold the fans. The amplifier is a Mastr II amp, and naturally the fan diden't come with it. The fans, are 12 volt DC connected to the power supply. Each set is a dedicated feed from the distributor pannel..
These fans are for the spare RF Amplifier. They can be turned on easiely if the spare amp is ever needed. If the on air amp needs to be repaired, the spare amp can go on line very easy. No disruption in useage.
The Astron 50 Amp Power Supply. This is the monster to power all of the DC circuits. The Rittron repeater is the only unit that's not DC. It's AC. yea, I thought about wht if?. Astrons just keep going most of the time. But I suppose I'll deal with that if and when the PS craps out.
The rear of the repeater. Ritrons are 20 watts. They have a small Rf amplifier, with an exiter output of about 6 watts. I have it lowered to about 250Mw, useing it as an exciter for the Rf amplifier. The amp is 100 watts.

Welcome to The KC2DOK repeater web site. We are located in Villas, New Jersey, Lower Township. Almost to the Delaware Bay, on the bay side. I have been a ham for over 6 years now, and I really haven't done much with my license. I just renewed, and it's the 10 year license, so, I thought it would be nice to start a repeater here in the Villas, and it'll be another thing to hang on my hat rack of "Things I would like to do".
It's UHF, at 100 watts. The repeater is a Ritron Patriot 20 watts. Changed to an exciter RF out of 250mW into a Mastr II RF Amplifier. The antenna is at 55 foot, 3bd gain. It's a commercial UHF antenna, listed on the low side of the ham band. |
The system was set up using a Kenwood commercial two way radio and a scanner in a vehicle. The system was slightly tested with a HT in the villas, North Cape may, Rio Grande. HT use, is limited. However, Mobil-Base is much better. If you use a portiable I would like to have a performance report from you on the use of a portiable. Also, let me know what type of mobile radio your using and how it's all working. Performance reports are a good thing. helps to know what to improve on. remember, this repeater is moving to a 200 foot tower just outside of Dennisville. More to come when more information is available.
If you have any questions or comments. Please use the email form. I just moved to this spot on the web. Web Site Construction is going on everyday. So, if you see something that dosen't look right, or work right, you may want to let me know so I can look into it, if I'm not working on it. Thank you.

Now that I'm moving the repeater to a 200 foot tower in Beleplaine, and putting on the Coorinated power of 100 watts. Still, a open repeater and open to evey licensed ham. there will be no restrictions except working the repeater within the FCC rules. And, not limiting any licensed operator of using my repeater except, naturally, when someone misbehaves.
From time to time there will be use restrictions, that is because of groups and Government use in county wide emergencies. Plus, I imagine, use by weather and other ham/gov operations. You must, however, ask me for the specialized use. This can be done easiely. Use the handy dandy Email form and leave me your phone number.
The repeater as of now has a daily announcement routine, automated, by computer and audio files. This also will be open to those agencies and ham/gov groups whom wish to utalize this feature. This however, use by others, is in the future when it goes 200 foot. If you have one you would like to give, use the handy dandy Email program.

See the dual lobe antenna at the very top? Thats the one I was putting up that day. It really wasen't that hard, just had to take my time and think before I acted. Had to install the clamps first. Had to hoist the antenna and put it in the clamps. Then, hosting the hard line to the connector. All in all for that took about a hour or so.

Looking inside the repeater rack, to the left is the DC power connecting cables, fuses, and distributor to the RF Amplifiers, Fans, Meters, and pilot lights. The coil sticking away at the top of the board is a hand made FS coil for the FS meter on the front pannel for monitoring. heck! I coulden't have a meter hole and not use it!
