No problem, Larry. I guess maybe they could have screwed up the element when I sent it in for conversion, but I've never had a problem with ICM before. I go back to my original query - I wonder if I should go ahead with the cap replacement procedure and see if that gains me some sensitivity.
_____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of larryjspammenot Mark - Sorry for the confusion. I sent just the channel elements to ICM to have them make new "Correct" crystals and perform temperature compensation and run services. It was money well spent - they're both working great (transmit and receive elements) in the repeater now (it's just down the hall about 10 feet away. I live on a tall hilltop). LJ ----Original Message----- From: N9WYS You sent the whole receiver section? (Sounding like "Bluto" Blutarski in Aminal House.) What'd that cost you, if I may ask?? _____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was just an idea - at 449.55, it should still have very good sensitivity, as if it was being tuned up in the 450-470 range. My MICOR UHF Receiver was pretty deaf until I sent it to ICM and had them make a crystal to replace the other one from the other company. LJ -----Original Message----- From: N9WYS Larry, The element was re-rocked/calibrated/compensated/etc by ICM. This is why I was wondering if it might be worth the effort to do the cap change to the receiver board. Mark - N9WYS
