ECI Hamfest & Other Stuff

ECI Hamfest Sat. 7/26

East Central Indiana hamfest in Portland, Indiana is Saturday July 26th. I will be there somewhere with some stuff for sale. One of the things will be a HP microwave nixie tube freq counter it covers up to 18 or 36GHz. I really don’t remember what the top freq is

Repeaters

Still working on the DMR stuff but with the heat this week and the hamfest I won’t be getting much done with it until next week sometime at best. Hope to have it back up at some point in the next 30 days at least. Duplexers need worked on again and maybe replaced so that could be a nail in the coffin for the system honestly. Things I am looking for…

• DB-224E vhf/2m antenna
• TX/RX VHF 2m duplexers
• DB-420 UHF antenna
• TX/RX UHF 440 duplexers
• VHF/UHF crossband couplers
• few hundred feet of some 1-1/4 heliax

I want to replace the sinclar duplexers on both the DMR repeater and the scrapper 2m repeater, just not happy with the sinclair stuff honestly.

Other Stuff

Not much of anything else really going on, would like to eventually get back on HF but the power line noise where I am stuck at is downright brutal. Damn noise gets into VHF and sometimes UHF and well I know nothing will honestly get done about it cause the city is broke and no way they could replace all the crap that needs fixed around here so my HF days may honestly be done at this point. Anyway hopefully heat breaks so I can get shit done.
