I have a couple of 900 MHz Micor receiver boards lying around and am thinking of putting together an amateur repeater (else selling them). I live in an urban environment. However, with all the unlicensed frequency hoping devices around, is it worth the effort to put up a 900 MHz voice repeater? A friend bought one of these 900 MHz baby room monitors.... every few seconds a burst of noise is heard as the town's traffic lights are controlled by 902-928 MHz RF frequency hoping links.
"Is anybody out there"
Any views on this?

A lot of that garbage stuff - cordless phones & such - is going to 2.4 GHz. Recent 900 stuff is often spread spectrum, so maybe the worst of the interference on the band is past. Also, a lot of the license free stuff stays in the middle of the band whereas the SCRRBA band plan puts ham repeaters at the ends, inputs 902-903 and outputs 927-928.
Activity seems to be picking up around the country. Check out the AR902MHz group at groups.yahoo.com

Is there anyone who has converted an 800mhz Micor base station to the 900 mhz ham band?
