Lance,
The reed number was contained in my first message - but I'll repost it here in order to overcome some of the "background". <wink/grin> It is A01863 - 141.3 Hz (4A) Thanks in advance, Mark - N9WYS From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Captainlance BRAMCO reeds were made for a number of 2-way companies over the years, the color of the reed in meaningless. Each manufacturer selected what they wanted, light blue, dark blue, red, silver, bronze, etc. likewise, coil impedances were variable as well, from 500 to 5K ohms. if you have the stock number, usually beginning with an "A0", I can probably tell you what you have. Decoders can be used as senders, however the drive is higher to get them to fire off reliably. note too that the Bramco reeds are position sensitive... especially below 100 hz...if you are going to use mechanical reeds for an application, try to get old Motorola "gold" reeds, TU217 sender and TU333 sponder, they were better in all aspects, especially sensitivity to close in the sponder reeds.
