N2JFS/R 10 meter repeater
29.680 MHz - 100 kHz shift Pl 136.5
The 29.68 repeater is a split site repeater. The first site The Receiver, is located in the downtown Brooklyn Heights section of Brooklyn . Located in a 40 story Building sharing its space with the N2ROW 441.100 UHF repeater. It consist of a Motorola Spectra Tac Rx 50 ft of hardline and a Solarcon A-99 low band antenna.
The transmitter is located in midtown Manhattan , on top of the Empire State building. TX is currently a low band 100 watt Motorola Syntor X radio with 80 feet of Andrews ½ Hardline and a home made vertical dipole consisting of two 96 inch stainless steel whips. There is a reason for this. One mast two antennas. It shares the mast with my 6 meter Transmitter antenna. Real estate is very expensive. And we thank the Managers of the Empire State Building .
The rx is wired to port 3 of the N2ROW 441.100 repeater system. All signal that are rx by the 10 meter rx is transmitted to uhf. The transmitting site has a uhf radius mobile listing to 441.100 so the ten meter transmitter and 70cm transmitter signals are all similcasting.
This method the uhf repeater is creating the RF link for 10 meters. Avoiding having to use a duplexer.
