Hello all,

With the help of Harald I have been able to construct a wired base station for the TACS network! I wondered if someone here can check over what I have so far done, to see if I have made any mistakes (which is quite likely!). Manly, I have used some 2w attenuators in the system between the phone and the splitter/combiner and I am worried that the phones I have will transmit at a higher power (I have a Motorola 4800x, Motorola independent (DynaTAC) and a Vodafone VT1) and burn out the attenuators (which would severely damage the transmitter on the phone).

I will be happy to send anyone photos of my setup (I don’t believe I can attach them here).

Again, I am still quite new to RF in general,

so help much appreciated. :)
