Allow me add my name the list of people thanking you for
VK2US-1. Thank you.<br>
<br>
With regard to the capability of the FM828, I'm sure many of you
have seen me recommend the humble FM828 on many occasions, and
with good reason. The radio might require a pair of decent
crystals at a cost of about $70 but you can get the radio for
free, or maybe $20. For less than $100 you have a radio that is
almost bullet proof. <br>
<br>
The FM828 rx has a respectably narrow front-end that was never
intended to extract the last 0.1uV from the ether. It will do,
typically, 0.3uV for 12dB SINAD (the spec says 0.35uV for 12dB
SINAD), however, and return that performance under very hostile
circumstances. Ask yourself if you want a 0.1uV rx that clams up
to maybe many uV (or blocks completely) under harsh conditions,
or a rx that hears 0.3uV 24/7. Standing current of the 828 is
also respectably low, around 250mA when muted. If you take low
level audio and keep the volume control wound right back the
standing current doesn't change when a signal is received. The
FM828 tx is continuously rated at full power (25W) and the unit
will work over the range 10-16v. Try that with your Yaecomwood!
<br>
<br>
The rx in the Philips FM814 base station is directly from the
FM828 mobile. Yep, Philips engineered a damn good radio with the
FM828 and, that was around 1978.<br>

<div>Thank you for hosting the digi for the last 10+ years - it
has been fundamental to the APRS network in Sydney - in fact a
large chunk of NSW! For those that are unaware, the coverage
of this digi is/was phenomenal with direct paths out to
Orange, Canberra and along the coast to Newcastle and beyond
Wollongong.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As one of the installers of this digi I'm still blown away
by how well a humble FM828A mobile rig with no external
filters handled the intense RF environment of the CBD, being a
stone's throw from GPT and Centerpoint - the two largest comms
sites bristling with pagers.</div>
<div>The original installation was an FM92, however the high
noise floor rendered the digi useless, it couldn't hear
anything beyond about 5km from the site - swapped with the 828
and never looked back.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It will be sad to see this digi close, but, life goes on
:-).</div>

<div>Cheers, </div>
