radio repeater

I do have a satellite radio and would like to know the range of the terrestrial repeaters signal.

I have heard (unofficially) roughly a 20-mile radius. My office is right around 20 miles from the repeater in my city and I get nearly-perfect reception solely from the repeater.

I have Sirius, by the way. I don't know much about XM's repeaters, but I would think they have a smaller range since XM has many more repeaters.

A squelch trigger board converts the squelch tap from the scanner into a switch to trigger the PTT button on the TX radio (VHF) 25Watts mobile ...

I am trying to improve a radio signal in a third world country. What is needed to have a repeater to extend a radio signal for a radio station?

I don't know the details but two radios do it.

Price: $12.95

as small as handheld or backpack with batteries.

I've got one that's about 2"x2"x6", including batteries, so, yes, it can be done. However, practically, for a repeater to do any good, it needs to be high above the average terrain, but that usually makes it relatively inaccessible, which not only impairs its portability, but also makes it hard to change its batteries.

One thing that shows up on auctions from time to time is the portable suitcase repeaters that the federal government used to use. They would be useful if one, say, rented a hotel room on the top floor of a tall hotel for the duration that radio communications were needed in the vicinity of the hotel. Re-using such a suitcase repeater would require reprogramming as well as appropriate FCC licensing (and possibly frequency coordination).

It might be useful to join a local amateur radio club, get a technician-class amateur radio license, and put together the repeater you are looking for yourself. You can go to www.arrl.org to look for a local club and/or local amateur radio license exams.

Anyone know of any reliable VHF repeaters in this area? I am planning a trip in the area soon and am looking for a good way to maintain communications in case of an emergency.

In particular to VHF radio comms. I'd love some pics also. Can anyone suggest a website? Keep it as simple as possible please. thanks

They receive on one frequency and retransmit on another. The user has his radio set to transmit on one and receive on the other. The amateur 2M (144-148 MHZ) is 600KHz spread. Go to ARRL.org for information on the hobby.
