There is a YahooGroup mailing list oriented toards Tait radios at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TAIT_Radios.
If you are at all interested in these radios I suggest you join it.
Here is the original edition of Various - Ultimate Breaks & Beats. The three known reissues with “wrong” track listings: Various - Ultimate Breaks & Beats, Various - Ultimate Breaks & Beats and Various - Ultimate Breaks & Beats. These reissues are all bootlegs in the sense that they have nothing to do with the original Street Beat Records. In 2008 the compilation Various - Strictly Breaks - The Definitive Collector's Box Set contained all of the Strictly Breaks compilation (Vol. 1-11) released since 1997. In the same year Various - Dusty Fingers The Complete Collection also contained all Dusty Fingers (Vol. 1-16) and School Yard Breaks (Vol. 1-3) that had been released. 2008 also saw the release of Various - Dusty Fingers - The.
| An overview article on what equipment is of interest to the amateur would be most welcome (and we won't complain if it's written by a dealer, as long as the major thrust is information sharing rather than sales). If the person wants to remain anonymous (as many manufacturers employees want to) that's alright too. If there is a Tait expert 'out there' let me know, I'd be willing to just about turn over this page to you. If there is a Tait new or used equipment seller that would like to do some business with USA amateurs please let the author know. I can put a pointer to you on this web page. There is a real lack of NBFM mobile and handheld equipment that covers 218-225 MHz, plus I know of more than one multi-repeater system whose members could use a 2m or 440 radio with the mobile voting feature (described below). |
Cracking the model number code:
Let's use the model number T2020-XYZ-AAA as an example..
First of all, I'm assuming that the 'T' is Tait.
Second, the 2020 iis the basic product model number.
Tait calls the XYZ digits the 'RF Type group' and these indicate the basic RF configuration of the radio.
The value of 'X' in the above example translates to the frequency band:
(USA commercial=896 to 941 MHz Tx, 935-941 MHz Rx,
USA amateur=902-904 mobile transmit, 926-928 mobile receive and simplex transmit)
The value of 'Y' in the above example designates radio IF bandwidth.
The value of 'Z' the above example designates frequency stability (no data yet).
The digits represented by the AAA in the above example cover a wide range of software and market specific options. The large number of options and their frequent changes preclude listing them here. I suspect that they might be considered model-specific.

Programming:
One refreshing policy of Tait is that the programming hardware schematics and all of the radio programming software is provided to their dealers at no charge. Dealers can distribute it to interested end users if they chose to.
Notes:
One option that Tait offers that very few manufacturers have is voting in the mobile - where a mobile can select the best base station or repeater signal depending on signal strength. Picture an agency, such as a county or district police department, with a large number of wireline (or microwave link) controlled linked base stations or reepaters, all of which are at different geographical sites (each of which, naturally, has different geographical coverage, or 'RF footprint'), all of which transmit the same audio (or it could be a large, linked repeater system configured so that what goes in on one system comes out on all systems). This mobile voting feature, when enabled, causes each users receiver to automatically select the best signal, and the receiver steers the transmitter appropriately. The user never has to twist a knob as he drives around. This Tait applications note describes the technology and how it works. The really nifty part is that everything is in the mobile radio.

Tait has made some service manuals for older radios downloadable for the general public at their support website. A lot of information on older products can be found athttp://support.taitradio.com/systems-and-products.
