Converting R100 UHF Repeater To 70cm Ham Band

Post by dwh367 »

I was just wondering if anyone already has the instructions, from start to finish, on how to do this. I'd like to try to get it all from one place. I ran a search on it and got so many different bits and pieces on it that it made me dizzy trying to put it all together and make sense out of it. I am going to donate this repeater to my local amateur radio club so that they can also put a 440 machine on the air in addition to their 2 meter machine. I figured I would help do the research for them as nobody in the club has ever worked on an R100 before and if they have to farm it out to someone else, then they would already have the info handy for them as well. I can be emailed direct at dx398(at)excite(dot)com.

Thanks!

Oops, I forgot to include that I do already have the service manual for it but that's all I have other than the repeater and the duplexer.

No conversion needed, the R100 UHF tunes 438 to 470. But, you will need to do a full realignment at the ham freq.
