Not lookin' good for the home-team. I've got some reading at the meter plug pin 3, but L403 doesn't effect it at all. No indication at meter plug 4 at all. Guess I need to troubleshoot or scare up another exciter. Good thing this is a long-term project!

The fact that you could receive the signal suggests that the exciter is working, but just has a very low output. Tuning should fix that. Most commercial-band VHF exciters will tune to 2m without modification, but that is not always the case. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Mike Besemer (WM4B) Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2009 1:30 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Mobile TLD8262B10 Exciter Question Eric, Got that. thanks. But the exciter is okay as-is (except for tuning), is that correct?

The unit had no Channel Elements installed when I got it, so I borrowed one out of another Micor I have just to try the radio out. With a 147.015 MHz Channel Element installed in this exciter, I get no power from the radio, but I do hear the signal in a nearby receiver. I swapped the Exciter (same Part #) from my other (working) Micor into the unknown radio and get good power using this channel element. With the unknown exciter in the known-good radio, I get no power output. Obviously, I've isolated the 'issue' to the exciter. My question is, will this exciter work in the 2-meter range without modification? If so, then apparently I've got some troubleshooting to do. If not, what mods need to be done to make it work down this low? Thanks in advance, Mike WM4B
