Simple P25 Repeater System Testing
In this video I demonstrate how you can use 2 portables, or a portable and a mobile, with a mobile duplexer to do simple but effective testing of all your repeaters' performance in just a few minutes. By using your control station antenna, or central repeater antenna, in conjunction with a low power portable and an RSSI display on the receive radio, each repeater's transmit and receive can be measured. Using fast DTMF encode/decode between the radios, can act as a poor man's bit error rate test, confirming P25 packet accuracy.
Receiver inline attenuators can be used to reduce the received signals to approach the RSSI level change threshold.

    Have you ever tried to get "ffmpeg" to decode live IP-224 G.711 data? I have make it work, but the audio is noisy. I am guessing it needs filtered, similar to using the "Click Removal" in Audacity. I think the noise is caused by Telex control functions, and metadata within the packets. Would be super cool to decode clear live audio from the IP-224 / C-Soft.

      Just audio, the only id will be of the transmit portable. You can do analog to analog, or mix mode by the channels you select. The logic involved in passing ids is why P25 repeaters are so expensive. This is definitely a poor man's version. P25 on the receive makes it almost as good as a full priced repeater because the audio is perfect going into the transmitter, not adding noise.

    So i disconnected the lower thermostat( it got corroded from a small leak,shorted and fu the upper thermo). So discovered ( with a brand new upper thermo only) that by flipping the breaker on for 8 to 10 minutes(stop watch) I have enough hot water for my shower,wash the dishes by hand, and my wife's shower.SERIOUSLY!!!.And its still luke warm 3-5 hours later. So one 4500 watt element for 8 minutes works out to 600 watt hours to heat up the upper portion of the 30 gallon tanks sufficiently to achieve the above tasks. And by leaving it off eccept for several minutes in the morning the thermo and element has less longterm wear and tear.May eventually have to replace the breaker but thats cheap.Hey it works so well for us im thinking of getting a solar chargeable 12v 100ah lifep04 plus a 600watt dc heating element. Then just have the batt dump to the heat element for an hour or so each morning and ....walaaaah no more hot water heating bill. Next is running wash machine cycle 1-2 times a week off another solar charged batt using the same idea.....and so on. After a cloudy,rainy day or dark winter days may have to use a 12dc 50+ amp power supply to supplement the battery. Solar vacuum tube water heating systems are too EXPENSIVE and complicated and probably will never break even.

  • @BVN-TEXAS
    @BVN-TEXAS 2 місяці тому

    The thing you are missing is the duplexer has TWO notches for a reason. Yes the big side is the receiver side notching out the transmitter frequency. BUT you also have a notch for the receive frequency on the transmitter side for a very good reason. The transmitter is going to have some noise on the RX frequency, it’s not enough to be picked up a mile away but it’s enough to dense the receiver with an antenna right next to it. There is a reason this isn’t done.

    • @dc95811
      @dc95811 2 місяці тому

      Both notches are used, 1 blocks the transmit freq and the other blocks the receive from going into the dummy load. The duplexer is tuned the same as a normal application. It works perfectly as described if you transmit high (159Mhz) and receive low (151Mhz). I found that if I reversed the tx and rx frequencies I would get a very large desense that would really limit the coverage. Your timing is amazing on the comment because I did find the cause and a solution to that problem. I learned that most all of the times I blamed desense on a receiver having its frontend overloaded, it was more likely a near-field on-frequency rf product that was desensing it. I just made this video showing how it does it.

    • @BVN-TEXAS
      @BVN-TEXAS 2 місяці тому

      That’s not how that works with the dummy lord. You are basically only using one side of the notch. The reason for the transmit side going through the duplexer is so that side notch can be set to notch out any spurious signals coming out of the transmitter that would be on the receiver frequency. The amount of loss you are going to see by running the transmitter thought the duplexer is really not much. Plus by using using the same antenna for both you won’t end up with an alligator or elephant repeater. And I say this from having a mobile repeater in my 4Runner and having a uniform antenna pattern is really the goal and makes you no always wonder about TX or RX issues.

      I know exactly what you are talking about. A reverse bridge. I had the same idea for rs-232. The answer is no. I will put it simply, those devices can only communicate on the ethernet with other devices like itself, that does rs485 stuff. It would have nothing to say to any of your other tcp/ip devices and would ignore them.

People were so afraid of the high leg that they pulled the fuses to the high legs at the service disconnects, but that way it can never be balanced, so I’m using the high legs and one other leg for each and every 240volt device, then when everything is finally done and working, I plan to balance things using a clamp on amp meter. I’m not a licensed electrician, but I do what I can before calling in the electricians to check everything and fix any issues prior to inspections, saves my boss a whole lot of money that way.

    Jim - I just found your channel and am enjoying the information. I am fairly new to the BK universe but program and use a BK KNG P800. I am looking for an M800 remote mount radio but have not been able to find one. I have sourced a front mount M800 but really need the remote. Do you know if a front mount can be converted to a remote mount? I have done this with a Motorola XPR5550 in the past. Thanks for the help.

      If you get a KAA0660 remote head kit, KAA0636 remote cable and a KAA0661 cover you should be set. Suggest monitoring EBAY. $$ :( BK just covers up the dash mount head with a cover, yes, I kid you not. They both work btw. Then the remote plugs into the back via control cable. No head/interface board swap like a Motorola. Make sure the firmware is the same version between head and radio.

    I know this is old, however, at 33:00m you say the c-soft output is UDP and goes out to all ports on the Ethernet switch - the former is technically correct, the IP 226.x.x.x address indicates multicast and is how UDP traffic could propagate to all ports, it is not phony. Otherwise, good video and much better than trying to read the install manual.

    You seem knowledgeable on this. Would you have any idea as to why only some of the buttons on a phone generate a tone ? I have 50vDC, new jack, new phone but I only have the bottom rows of tones from button presses… my thought is bad wire getting induced voltage from nearby 480 VAC motor circuits but I do not know. Any tips would be appreciated.

      I would want to do a double swap with a known good phone. Does the "bad" phone still not work when plugged in to a jack that usually works? And does the phone that is known to work show the same "bottom row only" effect when plugged into the original jack? My guess from those symptoms is that it's just a bad phone.

    I really liked this video. We have to do this tomorrow on medium voltage. Will this method work if I use a VT to lower the voltage and the proper oscilloscope?

    • @dc95811
      @dc95811 8 місяців тому

      The transformer should not effect the phase. I cut my oscilloscope probe and installed a 10M ohm resistor in series, so it would be ultrasafe. Scope is already grounded so all you need is the single probe.

    Hi sir I need some help from you I have ublox gps neo M8N And nano arduino I need take signal from gps by baudrate 9600 then convert it to 4800 For use as external gps In nikon 850d camera Cuz the camera need 4800 bit only How i can do it Please help me❤

    • @dc95811
      @dc95811 9 місяців тому

      It is impossible to directly convert that without being able to control the sentences put out by the GPS, and the rate at which the GPS outputs the sentences. Too many sentences means too much data without enough time to get it out, and the buffer gets involved and then quickly overfills. So you would have to reprogram the GPS. But here is the good news. The GPS module can be reprogrammed for 4800 baud. If you look on page 36 of the mega spec sheet on the NEO-M8 at the link below, you will see 4800 is a selectable option. I know you have to use UBlox U-Center to reprogram the modules. I haven't done it myself, I'm a Garmin guy. But there is lots of videos on using it. content.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/u-blox8-M8_ReceiverDescrProtSpec_UBX-13003221.pdf
