Recently I have acquired a voting system which can be employed into our repeater system in South. Essentially the system continually monitors multiple receivers, both local and remotely over UHF link and…
On Monday 16th of November, Michael 7MRS and myself travelled to Mt.Wellington to replace the single SMD with a Polar 354 6dB vertical. The SMD was removed and the vertical put…
Today we demonstrate how to mod a C1000 CTCSS encoder to follow the receiver mute on a NHRC-3.1 controlled repeater with noise and CTCSS mute options. Break the track between pins…
This last weekend I had some spare time to play with the 10m repeater project. I turned my attention to the receiver side of things to see if I could…
Further to my blog post yesterday, I showed the example of the Southern Outlet as a fringe area of coverage from VK7RTC. On Mt.Wellington there are two "sites". We can call…

My favourite site. Soon to get a 6 metre repeater. I envisage a flowerpot type antenna will get mounted above the UHF 4 stack array on the stand off. Repeater will be…
In this post we describe how to modify the Unilab KL series of repeaters for low idle current for use at solar powered sites, where efficiency is important.. Essentially we…
