I have just received a Motorola Micor Compastation repeater that had been used for a repeater on 147.220. This repeater was hit by lightning and apparently did not work. It is now my project.
As I was looking through it tonight for the first time, I found that it powers up but did not receive. When I took the receive board out I found it did not have a xtal. I then took the receive board out of a micor base station (not a repeater) and used its receive xtal (153.830) which is my fire departments tac channel and tested to see if it received. Magic...it received on the 153.830 and transmited on the 147.220 frequency...problem is,,,no audio, only a carrier! There is a local speaker on it wired in after the fact and I can hear myself on it, but no audio is being transmitted. Anybody have an idea of where I go next? I am an absolute first time builder and no nothing! Oh, since the addition of the other receive board, I think I will probably need to have this changed so it will do 2m instead of the 150 range? Is this correct? Well I am looking forward to the learning experience but I can see a lot of time involved ahead...your help will be much appreciated! Thanks W7DUX Dan
