No active components - just a couple of extension cords.  Yes,
an RJ45 will work as will a cellular telephone cable.  The
head unit is a four wire affair, you can cut and splice the
factory cable as you wish.

While the information proposed in this and a few other formats posted
would be wonderful to have, I see no liklihood in the world that such
a database could ever get past a very small number of entries.  The
only way it could, would be if the "club officers", custodians, etc of
all the repeaters are reading this mailing list.  I would venture to say
that most of the readers of this group would have no idea of what
the coordinates of the site of their repeaters are, or the specifics of the 
hardware, etc.  On the other hand, many people, including myself, have put 
together limited databases of local repeaters in an area, based on (but not 
limited to) the info in the ARRL book.  I bet we could put together a 
useful database in short order, if everyone would put together info 
on repeaters in their respective areas, based on the ARRL info.  If we 
have to wait for inputs with the detail involved in this and other posts, 
we'll be waiting forever.  I would much rather have less info on most of 
the repeaters than a lot of info on just a few repeaters.

I don't think the platform is as important as the format of the data.
Once the format is set, I'm sure lots of folks will write their own
search engines and utilities. (Considering the potential size of this 
database, I'd be inclined toward Unix initially).

As for database fields, we'd at least need:

    callsign, city, state, county,
                           ^^^^^^
(When travelling, how often do you know the county, but not the town?!)

    output frequency, split,
                      ^^^^^
(On my rig I just set the output freq, then select "-", "S" or "+")

    latitude/longitude 
(for the eventual GPS interface...)

    PL tone (if any)
    Autopatch (Y/N)
I'm sure there's some more, but the database needs to be kept lean.
No need to include the sponsoring organization, trustee's name, etc.

Assuming this database is going to be used by the ham who is or will
be travelling, here's some things to think about:
* How to encode a repeater's coverage area? (How do you know where
  one repeater drops off, and another picks up?)

* Do we care about "closed" repeaters? Should they even be listed?

Cheers,
Andy

Sure.  Since it's FM, you could even run it class C and stick an LC filter on
the end of it to kill the harmonics.  I don't think increasing the power would
be all that useful, though, since the limiting factor is the terrible receive
section.

If you want good performance, look for one of the 49 MHz sets that use the
nifty Motorola chipset.  The receiver performance should be pretty good
and the transmitter is fairly powerful (especially if you hang a 3-1000Z on
the output).

In many areas, repeater frequencies were assigned long before the 
national bandplan was devised. There were many repeaters on what are now 
considered "oddball" splits even before we had coordinators. When other 
repeaters came along, they filled up the spectrum and it became 
impossible to re-assign what was now an "oddball", even if they wanted to 
move. (And in many cases, oddball splits are chosen out of necessity - to
move. (And in may cases, oddball spilts are chosen out of necessity - to 
fit into a particular site, for example).

Even the ARRL recognizes variations in the national band plans. I quote, 
form the ARRL Repeater Directory:

"The ARRL supports regional frequency coordination efforts by amateur 
groups. Band plans published in the ARRL Repeater Directory are 
recommendations based on a consensus as to good operating practice on a 
nationwide basis. In some cases, however, local conditions may dictate a 
variation from the national bandplan. In these cases, the written 
determination of the regional frequency coordinating body shall prevail 
and be considered good operating practice in that region."

And in many cases, repeater coordination group memberships ARE open to 
any amateur, not just repeater owners. Lack of participation by 
individual amateurs in frequency coordination is far more a case of 
apathy on the part of repeater users than it is a nefarious plot by 
repeater owners.

Seattle, WA  December 31, 1992
To All Radio Amateurs
 
Solar flux fell during the past week, and geomagnetic activity was
up.  The most unstable day was December 29.  The A index rose to 37,
and the K index gradually rose late on the 28th until it was 6 at
0600 UTC on the 29th.  High latitude and polar path signals were
disturbed.
 
Solar flux should bottom out around 115 over the next few days, and
then rise again to peak around 160 on January 10 or 11.  There is a
chance of a moderate disturbance around January 4, and somewhat less
on the 16th.
 
Since we just passed the shortest day of the year, seasonal
conditions should gradually improve toward the Spring Equinox as the
hours of daylight increase.  Currently ionization during the day has
decreased because there is less daylight, but there is the advantage
of less atmospheric noise.
 
This week's projection for HF propagation is from California to
South Africa.  80 and 40 meters should be the best bands overall.
80 meters should be best from just after sunset until 0430 UTC,
40 meters best from 2330 to 0500 UTC, and 30 meters from 2230 to
0300 UTC.  20 meters should be best from 2200 to 0100 UTC, and 17
meters from 1830 to 0000 UTC.  15 meters should be best from 1500 to
0000 UTC, with conditions gradually getting better over that period.
12 and 10 meters should be optimum from 1600 to 2200 UTC, with 12
meters open more often than 10.
 
Sunspot Numbers from December 24 to 30 were 127, 128, 158, 127, 112,
110 and 84 with a mean of 119.7.  10.7 cm flux was 136.3, 136.2,
131, 125, 127.2, 125.1 and 125.7, with a mean of 129.5.

Radio Robbery
Buddy Brannan, a blind amateur radio operator, was riding an Austin,
Texas, city bus about 1 PM on Wednesday, Dec. 30, talking on his
handy-talkie. A guy on the bus asked him about the radio and Buddy gave
him a demo. The guy liked it so much he asked to look at the radio and
ripped it off. Jumped off the bus and left Buddy on the bus.

Here is a description of the thief, as given by the bus driver: Black
man, 28 to 35 years old, dark complexion, medium height (5'6" or 5'7"),
medium build, short haircut (no afro or anything like that).

The radio is a Yaesu FT-470 dual-bander, serial number 450452, with its
stock battery pack (probably dead by now). No leather carry case. For
identification purposes, memory channel 19 is programmed for 410.00 and
channel 20 for 470.00 MHz.

If you should encounter this radio, please contact Buddy at (512)
452-6172, or via Internet at davros@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu. Thank you.

Maybe some hams don't realize that radio sites are not always free?  
Myself and a friend maintain two UHF repeaters that are relatively cheap
in terms of equipment cost.  However, the people that own the building
would like to be paid the rent for the space in it!  In addition to that
the Forest Service wants their annual "cut" also!  By the end of the year
we are looking at close to $2000 in JUST SITE RENTAL BILLS!!

Is it fair for just one or two individuals to pay all this money out of
their own pockets?  I'll pay for the cost of maintaining and upgrading
the equipment.  I'll pay for the gas, wear and tear on my vehicle to get
there.  However, fair is fair.  We don't pocket any of the money that comes
from the club members dues.  It simply pays the expensive bills for 
operating the radio system.

Are you sure you weren't picking up images?  Depending upon the IF of your
scanner, it would be easy to see how you could be picking up an image (i.e.
received frequency - 2*IF) due to the cellular band being directly below
the 900 Mhz band.  If that is the case, then in fact you are violating the
cellular phone act as the signals are actually in their proper band, you're
receiver is simply not rejecting the image introduced in the conversion

Well, how exotic can you get?  Do you have a known 50 ohm load and a
50 ohm SWR bridge?  If so, arrange a 1/4 wavelength piece of the coax
feeding your 50 ohm load and measure the swr at the feed end.  If
you measure 1:1, then the coax is 50 ohms (or real close ;-).  If that's
the case, it doesn't even matter if you are off 1/4 wave by a little, but
if you don't get 1:1, then calcs based on the measured SWR must
know the length of coax:  you are measuring SWR with a meter calibrated
to 50 ohms, not to the actual impedance of the coax in that case.  You
can calculate the impedance knowing a non-1:1 swr and some coax
formulae...  You can learn the 1/4 wavelength frequency by hooking
a noise source to a receiver and using a length of the coax open at the
far end across the receiver input; look for nulls.  Assume a velocity
factor between 0.66 and 0.9.  If you are willing to cut the coax,
you can measure the diameters of the conductors, and knowing the
velocity factor (or insulation type, maybe, if it's solid), you
can calculate the impedance.  You can probably get the formulas you
need to apply any of these techniques from the Radio Amateur's Handbook,
or perhaps other answers  here (;-), but if not, ask again...

No good.  The Rabbit puts out a DSB signal with a whole lot of hash.  You'll
want to suppress one of the sidebands and clean out all the stuff above 
and below the 900 MHz band before amplifying it.
