For a local Scout camp, I'm investigating the possibility of installing a ham repeater.
I know I could get a upper-end Motorola setup, or even a Yaesu/Kenwood unit (which may still happen!!!).
But, how can I do a work-able repeater on the cheap?
Can a pair of Beufeng mobile rigs work?
What would your suggestion be for faster/cheaper on-the-air?
I know I need radio, controller, duplexer, and antenna.
The antenna could be a ham Comet or Diamond. I guess the duplexer is where you don't want to skimp...to keep the transmitter
out of the cheap receiver.
Any thoughts?
If there is no cheap, workable solution....I'll re-think!!!
Thanks all!!
