  • How to Configure Radios for Use with Repeaters
    Concept of How to Configure Your Handheld and Mobile Radio for Use on a Repeater System VA6RPL Peter LaGrandeur Calgary Amateur Radio Association 2015 Learning Conference Limitations of “Standalone” Radios such as Handhelds and Vehicle Mounted Mobiles. Short Range of Coverage Signal easily blocked by major obstacles such as mountains, valleys, urban infrastructure What is a “Repeater” Radio? A repeater is basically a two way radio that receives a signal on one frequency, and simultaneously retransmits it on another frequency. It can retransmit with much greater power than received, and can send over a much wider area. A good example is where users are scattered in various areas separated by mountains; if a repeater is situated on top of a central mountain, it can gather signals from surrounding valleys, and rebroadcast them to all surrounding valleys. Handy! From there, repeater stations can be “linked” together to connect a series of repeater radios, each in a different area. With this, every time a user transmits on his mobile or handheld, his call will be heard simultaneously over all the repeater transmitters. And, yes! Repeater stations can now be connected via the internet. This internet linking is called IRLP – Internet Relay Linking Project. For example, a repeater in Calgary can link, via the internet, with an IRLP repeater anywhere in the world. You can carry on a two way radio conversation with someone in a faraway land with the assistance of the internet. Locating of Repeater Stations The higher the better. Yes, there are even satellite repeaters for amateur radio. In places that afford the best coverage in as many directions as possible.

  • The FCC Filing
    Dr. Theodore S. Rappaport, PE PO BOX 888 Riner, Virginia 24149 [email protected] November 10, 2018 Commissioners Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: This is a notice of ex parte, based on email communication I had with the CTO of the FCC, Dr. Eric Burger, on November 8, 2018, his reply on November 10, 2018, and my reply on November 11, 2018. The email communication is centered around a posting that appeared on the FCC ECFS system on November 7, 2018, and is part of an ongoing proceeding at the FCC, NPRM 16-239, that I and thousands of others view as a direct threat to the national security interests of the United States, as well as being detrimental to the hobby of amateur (“ham”) radio. Public comments made in FCC’s NPRM 16-239, and in FCC proceedings RM-11708, RM-11759, and RM-11306 proposed by the American Radio Relay League, show the vast number of rule violations and national security threats that continue to go unaddressed by the FCC. Commenters such as me view the lack of FCC acknowledgement of these problems as jeopardizing the safety of US citizens. NPRM 16-239 attempts to remove a limit on the baud rate of High Frequency (HF) shortwave transmissions, without first addressing ongoing rule violations pertaining to proper usage of the amateur radio service, the use of obscured, private messaging which is forbidden in Part 97 rules and creates national security concerns, as well as other violations. If allowed, NPRM 16-239 would perpetuate the current violations, and would authorize obscured transmissions of unlimited bandwidth over the global airwaves, further increasing the danger to our national security, since these transmissions cannot be intercepted or eavesdropped by other amateur radio operators or the FCC.

Choos- ing just one from the variety of radio models is a challenge! The • Manufacturer’s Directory good news is that most commercially manufactured Amateur Radio equipment performs the basics very well, so you shouldn’t be overly concerned about a “wrong” choice of brands or models. This guide is intended to help you make sense of common features and decide which are most important to you. We provide explanations and defini- tions, along with what a particular feature might mean to you on the air. This publication is aimed at the new Technician licensee ready to acquire a first radio, a licensee recently upgraded to General Class and wanting to explore HF, or someone getting back into ham radio after a period of inactivity. A technical background is not needed to understand the material. ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION After this introduction and a “Quick Start” guide, there are two main sections; one cov- ering gear for the VHF and UHF bands and one for HF band equipment. You’ll encounter a number of terms and abbreviations--watch for italicized words—so two glossaries are provided; one for the VHF/UHF section and one for the HF section. You’ll be comfortable with these terms by the time you’ve finished reading! We assume that you’ll be buying commercial equipment and accessories as new gear.

The Networks are divided by infrastructure ◦ Mototrbo (Motorola Solutions) Most common around the world, about 95%. ◦ Hytera Major Mototrbo Networks Wide Area Networks ◦ DMR-MARC (Motorola Amateur Radio Club) Radio registration Network Pin Maps http://www.dmr-marc.org ◦ DCI (Digital Communications Interconnect) http://www.trbo.org ◦ DMR-NA (DMR Core Talkgroup Server Project) http://www.dmr-na.com Regional Groups ◦ Typically associated with one or more of the wide area networks which supply Talk Group interconnections. The Bridged Network Example DMR-MARC CC1 DMR-MARC CC2 NATS-P NATS-S DCI Access Bridge Access Bridge Access Bridge RPT3 RPT6 RPT2 RPT5 RPT1 RPT4 What is DMR? Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) was developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and is used worldwide by professional mobile radio users. DMR is divided into three tiers. ◦ Tier I ◦ Tier II ◦ Tier III Tier I Tier I is a single channel specification originally for the European unlicensed dPMR446 service. It is a single channel FDMA 6.25 kHz bandwidth; the standard supports peer-to-peer (mode 1), repeater (mode 2) and linked repeater (mode 3) configurations. The use of the Tier I standard has been expanded into radios for use in other than the unlicensed dPMR446 service. Tier II (The Standard for Amateur Networks) Tier II is 2-slot TDMA 12.5 kHz peer-to- peer and repeater mode specification, resulting in a spectrum efficiency of 6.25 kHz per channel.

  • Two‐Way Radio Week 42
    52 Weeks of Preparedness – Two‐way Radio Week 42 By Don Gardner Clearwater County Office of Emergency Management Can you imagine how you will communicate with your family during an emergency when no cell phones are working? Could this even happen? Yes, it can, and it has, even here in Clearwater County. When disasters occur, the public often loses several means of communicating all at once. If you remember during the fires of 2015 the cell phone system was overloaded and many landlines didn’t work. First responders rely on two‐way radios daily and when disasters strike, and so can we. The are many times you can use two‐way radios with your family and friend like during a disaster, or, more commonly, when camping, hunting, during ATV and snowmobile adventures, and between cars when traveling. It may seem like an old fashion technology, but it is so reliable. There are many types of radios you can use and each provides different capacities and expense. Today we will cover four varieties that could work for you. Family Radio Service (FRS) and the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios are low‐power, inexpensive handheld ‘walkie talkies,’ which can be used for short‐distance communications. Most of these radios are sold as a combo sets with both the FRS and GMRS channels in one radio. You will find them in the sporting goods section of stores. The packages often exaggerates and say they will work for 20‐50 miles or more. Generally, the actual range of FRS/GMRS radios will be significantly less than advertised.
