Love the content. Glad there’s still people enjoying this hobby!
Hell yeah love sectorial panel antennas on this and 23cm repeaters.
Nice when I was living in Reno my good friend Moe Ward AC6i. We set up a P25 9mhz. It works amazing loved the xts2500
denver mountains 12 hours from Oklahoma rsu 93.1 to Tucson Arizona to Mexico
Stop using sdr to catch cellphone signal I'm in Oklahoma hearing you I'm call the fbi
900 mhz sdr picks up frequency ham sends cell phone slipknot 800 hz
churchof destiny is using UA-cam live and Colorado has a transmitter receive and attena is the same spot using sdr so they dont hear it we have a radio TV college when people put 108 attena over 900 it the last radio stationis frequency 108.0
slipknot 800 hz all out life my brain
you can't have a transmitter and attena are you restarted
I'm curious about setting up something like this but I have a question, how did you get access to that site? Do you have to pay for it?
Friends with the site owner
Skyler, I am becoming a 900 Mhz Junkie. 73~N8LWX
UA-cam press it you see youra
you're self
900 cordless phone 108 tv
900 mile tv attena 900 mhz phone 39.94
Your making people hear voices because Oklahoma has actv radio station plus a 900 mile take sdr off
Sorry
UA-cam radio you radio
Very cool, love the setup. Sadly we don't have 900Mhz allocated to us here over in the UK.
You’re not missing out on much. It’s a very noisy band here with Unlicensed interference
@@SkylerFand pointless since you can just use without a license and no one cares about going above power limit. Not a real ham band.
300 watts on 900Mhz !!! You must be crazy ,cuz this antenna could make a BBQ party , could fries and grills some birds😂
Our public safety net in South Florida in the 80s, I was using 250 watt Motorola Repeaters on VHF Hi with Decible antennas configured elliptically with a 12db gain. That one site could talk from Naples FL to almost Tampa. Handheld we actually could talk from the Skyway to Naples. But those days are long gone
noaa uses that
Great content thank you! 73's KN6CWT
Thank you
I'm sick of hearing you I'm coming to Colorado
Ok
i wish i was smart
Same
very cool tour.
Schrecklich diese Großstädte...
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Very awesome let me pick up my cell phone give you a call so we can talk about it
Good on QRZ
Question: Why did you pick an odd frequency split? usually its an even 25 mhz / Like: 927.975 - 902.975
902.975 noisy and 927.0375 restricted in Colorado
@@SkylerFAre the Stargate teams using 927.0375?
How are you doing there Skyler its will KI5DQL I seen you at the Socorro hamfest hope you're doing well
Glad you're making UA-cam videos again 73s
Nice. I would love to see more of the inside of the repeater vault.
It’s a standard Quantar repeater. You can see a little more inside of it on the video I made in august on the bike race

Great job getting it all working the best with the challenges - V31NT
hi heliax is not hardline just saying
Tru but everyone calls it hardline lol
Golden eh? Do you know AA1CO?
No
Stop broadcasting over electric company
Screw the smart meters
@@SkylerFThose things produce bright flashes on my 900 MHz TV.
Those cavity filters are hard to come by because I use those for simulcast reception on my scanner really helps but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who can't afford these things at least mine were given to me free of charge and they were tuned properly to the 800 MHz portion of the band to where I was going to receive on so my local trunking system now is coming in great on my BCD 436 perfectly loud and clear no error rates or anything because these cavity filters really know how to not everything out and filter everything kind of like what a water filter does
They came form cellular or paging stuff I think and we’re actually at one point pretty easy to find
Nice good use for those old 900 meg cell site antennas
Hey i have done the same thing here in British Columbia canada, with our Motorola Quantar 900mhz and 440 mhz repeaters. Only i run my 900mhz repeaters on P25 Mode and all the pips and pops are gone. Much cleaner audio. Also my 440 mhz P25 repeaters are set to digital mode only.. We should link our nodes some time.

There are about 6 Linked P25 900MHz repeaters here along the front range from Pueblo to Denver to Ft colins made by Tracy KI0HC. They work Very well and sound great! I am running mine only Analog because it is the only analog repeater left and it gives something for people to use their analog radios on.
Wow, that house has a nice view. It must have been nice to have a place up there before all the RF moved in. As for 900MHz, just like 220MHz, its a very underutilized band. It's pretty easy to setup an antenna for that band. There are considerably affordable panel antennas that have as much as 11dbd gain that also have a pretty small footprint that make great ways of getting into sights that might be far away. I've used a panel antenna to get into a 900MHz repeater 72 miles away with no problems at all!
Yeah there’s several houses converted to RF facilities on that mountain. There’s a modern house next to some of the towers that just got built, a little pricey tho

Who makes that antenna? That’s incredible!
Hey Jeff, The antenna model is Amphenol RWA-8009. Got it from a local ham when he moved his repeater to an omni antenna. Decided semi-directional would work out for me because there is lots of rock and mountain behind it, and it wouldn't cover too far that way anyway.
Is this the one that a landowner put up a gate to block access to the tower.
No that was methodist
Awesome Skyler- at 75 watts on your 900Mhz repeater, I assume you are melting any chipmunks that dare approach the coax- FB! As always, another fantastic job in engineering- 73 de Paul N0AH/3
Thanks Paul! I've got some time to go put some footage together stuck at home here. Yup, I wouldn't stand on front of that antenna when TX, I can turn it up to 100 Watts if needed lol.
Standard output with the PA on those Quantars are actually 100 watts though so he holding back.
Good job!
wow
Sweeet....dign it
Awwwww, it's so cute when hams try to be a big boy.
Shouldn't be long now and you'll be needed more than you hobby made you think it would be. I'm so sorry you live in a Democrat ran state may Yah protect your much needed hobby
It sure is a great hobby. I'd prefer to keep politics out of it though, I don't like either side.
