16	How Does A Repeater Work? Separate transmitter and receiver and frequency for each. Heavy duty transmitter amplifier. Duplexer to provide isolation between the 2 frequency's Antenna system with lightning protection Controller to provide access, ID’er, on off control, and transmitter protection. Heavy Duty power supply and battery system. Link radio and antenna if needed Antenna tower or mast Building and power
17	Operating The Repeaters Always listen to determine if the system is in use Use the repeater closest to your location Allow break between exchanges to allow others to call Use plain language, 10-codes and Q codes are not proper on repeaters To call anyone, just give your (call + listening) To call someone, give their call then your call On the big systems, keep your contact short - 10 minutes or less. Allow others to break in. Can be as many as 20 repeaters active with your contact On other repeaters just be courteous to allow others to break in. Remember emergencies always have priority Most repeaters will time out in 3 minutes if the signal is not dropped or reset
18	OPERATING HINTS Walkies with duckies are only good for line of site to repeater contacts. (better known as scratchy talkies). Keep antenna vertical Keep antenna in the open space Use a gain antenna or a mobile rig if you are traveling in the back country Keep a spare battery charged, or use a power adapter Speak clearly across the mic. Low voice level (low modulation) can be very annoying
19	EMERGENCY OPERATION GRAB AND GO KITS Day pack or tackle box Your Handie Talkie with spare batteries A special Battery pack for alkaline cells A way to recharge Batteries A gain antenna, with adapter if needed List of call signs, frequencies, Public Safety protocols, phone numbers, and such stuff. Some high energy food A bottle or two of water A little money for more food and water or whatever A map & compass, or map & GPS Some survival stuff
20	HOW TO HELP SUPPORT THE REPEATERS Donation to repeater group. $20 to $30 per family per year is recommended, anything is appreciated. Money can be sent to Brad (AB7MA) SPARC, or Terry (N7GGN) You can also support the phone patch for $12 per year. Money to SPARC. Some repeaters are funded entirely by group funds, These expenses include power bills, site fees, forest service fees, broken antennas, burnt up power supplies, standby batteries, and parts. A few repeaters are supported with a little help from county emergency services funds. Some repeaters are entirely privately funded, most of our UHF repeaters are privately supported. Just use them, that will thank the owner enough. If a maintenance project is forthcoming, volunteer to help out. Some areas have closed repeaters, only group members can use them, Most of the repeaters in our area are open to everyone. A warning: if the repeater funds get too low to pay the fees and power bills, repeaters could go off the air.
