I decided I want to have duplexers for the D-Star systems so that if I want to use one antenna for transmit and receive, I can have that option as well as using two antennas. This one is a Sinclair Q201GR-1 6-cavity duplexer for the 144 MHz machine. And...
This is a Sinclair Q3330C-3 duplexer for the 440 MHz system, a 6-cavity unit. I think this will work just fine :-)
So I have to be honest, I could not find pricing on the website, and to be even more honest, I got sidetracked today and forgot to do this until the very last part of Friday, so I couldn't call them for pricing. Based on conversations with other hams, I'm guessing that brand-new duplexers run around $1500. I'll just say $2000 to be on the safe side :-) After all, if it's more than that, I'll just pay the leftover balance another day!
Now, for the toy I was inspired to have that I found yesterday, this is SOOO COOL!
It is an AOR AR-STV wireless video camera receiver. So, here in Columbus, there are traffic cameras all over the city, and many of them are wireless. This receiver will not only be able to receive them, but also will be able to store still photos from the video feeds to an SD memory card! It will also pick up surveillance cameras as well. I think in a city the size of Columbus, I will have ample opportunity to find cameras all over the place to watch! I just think it would be fun to hunt out cameras, it's something else to chase after :-)
That takes care of the $5000, keep bringing it on!
