YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER REPEATER SYSTEM IN THE WORLD!NOTE: FOR THOSE OF YOU \"POOR BOYS\" THAT CAN\'T RESIST TO KEEP WRITING IN SAYING MY PRICE IS MUCH TOO HIGH, SAVE YOUR WORDS. PUT A CORK IN IT.... THINK OF THIS AS A PICASSO PAINTING THOSE THINGS GO FOR MORE THAN $100KIT IS THE RAREST OF RARE!IT IS SO EXTREMELY RARE THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE OF THESE FOR SALE BY ANYONE ON OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF SINCE IT OPENED BACK IN 2000 SOME 30 YEARS AGO! IT IS THAT RARE!THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY AND ONCE THIS FLASHES BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER ONE AGAIN IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TIME EVER AGAIN! THAT IS HOW RARE THIS ANIMAL IS!THIS IS AN ENTIRE 1.2 GHZ MICROWAVE REPEATER SYSTEM. IT IS COMPLETE WITH CUSTOM MADE DUPLEXERS AND GASFET PRE-AMP AND PROTECTION CIRCULATOR/ ISOLATOR AND DUMMY LOAD FOR THE SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT.
THE UNIT HAS 2 YAESU FT 912R RADIOS INSIDE. THE DUPLEXER IS CUSTOM MADE BY ANGLE LINEAR AND THE FREQUENCY PAIR IS SET TO THE PAIR YOU SEE SHOWN ON THE RADIOS DISPLAY. THE DUPLEXERS ARE ALSO TUNED AND SET FOR THAT MATCHING AIR AS WELL.
ITS IN THE HAM BAND BECAUSE ITS A HAM RADIO REPEATER.
SYSTEM WAS USED FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY FOR TESTING AND HAS BEEN IN STORAGE EVER SINCE SO THE SYSTEM IS BASICALLY NEW!
IT IS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM LESS THE CONTROLLER. IT WAS TESTED ON THE ASTERISKS CHAIN, THE HIGHEST REPEATER CONTROLLER TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD. IT IS ALL READY TO PLUG INTO A QUAD PCI RADIO CARD AND INTO A MINI-ITX COMPUTER CONTROLLER.
IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR OLD SCHOOL 1980\'S GARBAGE HALF USELESS DINOSAUR CONTROLLERS SUCH AS THE PALAMAR TELECOM ETC YOU WOULD JUST NEED TO CHANGE THE PIN OUTS AND GET A RECEIVING ETHERNET PLUG. NO BIG DEAL.. THE ASTERISKS COMPUTER CONTROLLER IS REALLY THE BEST WAY TO GO AND ITS PLUG AND PLAY READY FOR THE HIGHEST REPEATER TECHNOLOGY CONTROL SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. OF COURSE THE MINI ITX COMPUTER IS NOT INCLUDED, YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR OWN CONTROLLER. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE ISO FILE ON LINE AND THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO SHOW YOU HOW.. I HAVE NEVER TRIED LOADING THE SOFT-WHERE MYSELF BUT THERE 1000\'S OF SUCCESSFUL NODES ON LINE THAT WORK OUTSTANDING! ALSO THE POWER SUPPLY SHOWN IS NOT INCLUDED.
HISTORY OF THE WORK OF ART AND ARTIST.
THIS ITEM AS OF DECEMBER 4 2016 HAS OFFICIALLY BECOME A TRUE GENUINE WORK OF ART IN WHICH THE ART WORK HAS REACHED ITS PEAK PRICE. JUST LIKE IN THE PAINTING WORLD, THE ARTIST\'S WORK IS NOT VALUABLE UNTIL THE ARTIST DIES. PABLO PICASSO\'S ART WAS OF LITTLE VALUE WHILE HE WAS ALIVE BUT HIT ITS PEAK ONLY AFTER HE PASSED AWAY. SAME IS TRUE WITH THIS DEVICE. ONLY THIS DEVISE IS A HELL OF A LOT MORE USEFUL THAN A PAINTING ON A WALL SO I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS WORTH EVEN MORE THAN A PICASSO PAINTING FOR THAT REASON.
THE ARTIST THAT MADE THIS UNUSUAL REPEATER, I DON\'T WANT TO GIVE HIS NAME BUT MOST NORMAL HAMS WILL KNOW HIM. HE IS KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF MODERN DAY VOIP TELEPHONY. HE WAS A GENIUS IN THE WORLD OF TELECOM! HE INVENTED THE HIGHEST LINKED REPEATER TECHNOLOGY KNOWN TO MAN KIND. IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD HE INVENTED ASTRICON THE INTERNATIONAL ASTERISKS CONVENTION THAT MEETS EVERY YEAR AND HIS INVENTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING MANY OF THE COMMERCIAL COMPANIES AROUND THE WORLD THAT ATTEND THAT YEARLY CONVENTION. THE REPEATER TECHNOLOGY HE INVENTED IS FREELY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL HAMS AND THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS POWER AND CAPABILITY FAR SURPASSES THE POWER AND CAPABILITY OF EVERY OTHER NETWORK KNOWN TO MAN KIND IN THE HAM RADIO WORLD TODAY BY LIGHT YEARS! IT LITERALLY KNOCKS THE SOCKS OFF OF ALL THE OTHERS OUT THERE AND ALL THE OTHERS KNOWN TO MAN BECAUSE IT FAR SURPASSES THEIR REPEATERS USER SERVICE, CONTROL AUDIO QUALITY AND FUNCTIONALITY. IT IS CURRENTLY THE BEST REPEATER SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. THE HIGH NUMBER OF ACCESSIBLE USER FEATURES ON THAT SYSTEM ARE SO MANY THAT EVEN EXPERIENCED USERS CAN\'T REMEMBER OR UNDERSTAND ALL THEIR CAPABILITIES. THE ENDLESS CAPABILITY LIST BEWILDERS EVEN THE MOST EXPERIENCED USERS TO THIS VERY TODAY. ON THE SYSTEM YOU CAN CONSTANTLY HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE MIND BOGGLING FUNCTIONS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY WITH AMAZEMENT EVERY DAY! SO THIS REPEATER WAS ON PV FOR A SHORT TIME AND TAKEN DOWN DUE TO A REQUEST BY THE FAA BECAUSE IT WAS ON A 100 WATTS TRANSMITTING OVER THE AIR FORCE BASE AT SAN PEDRO. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE COMPLAINT YOU WOULD GET RUNNING AN AMP THAT HOT AT THE TOP OF PV, A DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT TO A MILITARY AIR FORCE BASE ON THIS BAND. THAT MUCH POWER IS EQUIVALENT TO 10,000 WATTS ERP IN THE MICROWAVE BAND..
I WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF THE TRUE ARTIST THAT BUILT THIS, AND IT IS WORTH MORE MONEY THAN A PICASSO PAINTING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT JUST SIT USELESS HANGING ON SOME ONES WALL. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE MANS NAME PULLS A LIST OF HITS LITERALLY 10 PAGES OR 100 INDIVIDUAL HITS IN LENGTH RIGHT OFF THE BAT! THAT IS HOW FAMOUS THE ARTIST IS. THE MAN WOULD TELL ME STORIES ABOUT OTHER CLOSED COMPETITOR NETWORKS AND HOW THE GU-RUUR\'S OR SYSTEM PRESIDENTS WOULD TREAT HIM ON OTHER BIG SYSTEMS IN LA AND THAT IS WHY HE DECIDED TO INVENT HIS OWN SYSTEM THAT PUT THE OTHERS TO SHAME. MOST HAMS IN CALIFORNIA, WILL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THIS MAN SUCCEEDED TO BUILT AN OPEN SYSTEM THAT LITERALLY BLUE ALL THE OTHERS OFF THE MAP! THE ARTISTS LEGACY HAS LITERALLY SHAKEN THE ENTIRE WORLD BOTH IN THE AMATEUR WORLD AND COMMERCIAL WORLD LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE! THE MAN IS A TRUE LEGEND! HATS OFF TO THE ARTIST AND INVENTOR OF THIS WORK OF ART AND HIS CREATION!
I am very lucky and unlucky at the same time to have been so close to the artist and engineer. The man was truly a genius, a true technology engineer that literally shaped the world as we know it today in the world of telicom and I was both lucky and unlucky to have been so close to him. I was lucky to help this man build the best repeater system in the world today known as the asterisks chain but was unlucky because helping this man took a chunk of about 5 years out of my life! It was like I had been in jail for about 5 years of my life.
He rented from my dad and lived on our property twice from 2000 to 2001 and then again from 2008 to 20012 some 5 years total.. He needed a lot of help to solder wires and move his tools around so I would get a call to help him it seemed almost everyday. It was annoying but at the same time I was proud to help such a brilliant individual. When we soldered wires together and he tapped a key on the keyboard of his computer the whole world shook like an earthquake with every tap of a key and every drop of solder! The black screen of the putty session terminal with all the geek sentences and letters i would see the Jewish man type was totally foreign to me. I did not understand what the hell the man was typing on the black screen every day but I knew that every key stroke was actually controlling something that was live and working in telecom somewhere else in the world! Then the lunches, god the lunches were another time consuming endeavor. A drive to another city to have lunch was nuts in my book but I did it to make the man happy. The man also owned developed and operated his own ISP, he was an internet engineer! He was the creator of Bit
Hauler internet company that provided DSL, dialup and wireless for the mountain city\'s above Fresno California. He gave me free DSL for a few years but he was not smart with money and his company did not last very many years. The reason is because he always wanted to give every one \"The Service\" for free! He did it with his internet company and now he wants to give \"The service\" for free to hams as well. You can google his name and on the 3rd hit you can watch his you-tube video of the 2014 talk he gave at astricon in Los Vegas NV 2014. During the lecture, some one asked \"did you get your invention patented?\" and his answer was \"no because that would defeat my purpose, I want everyone to have my technology and service for free at no charge!\" The man was truly a one of a kind individual. No one else in the world would give away something so valuable with out trying to make money with it.. He had a big heart and was a true genius as an engineer. I am now the caretaker of his museum. All of his old 486 computers that he learned on and old pci cards that he made himself or purchased from companies that he drove out of business like dialogic are sitting in boxes in my basement and I have been trying to sell them here on but the stuff is so old that no one finds use in them any more. I am and have been the care taker of his museum for a very long time. Bob odonald dudes care taker once said to me and I quote his exact words \"that man is THE GOD OF THE RADIO!\"
