I have a mastr EXEC II receiver (33 split) that I can't get sensitivity to
increase.
I replaced the fet as outlined below on the mastr II query.
No joy though.
I'm using an am/fm-1200s to tune the receiver.
.5~1uv is where the receiver is coming to life.

Although an infrared temperature meter will provide some very useful
information, perhaps a more practical method of determining PA efficiency is
the use of a DC ammeter and a accurate RF power meter. Since PA efficiency
is the ratio of power out to power in, optimizing that ratio is

Do the two front end trimmer caps still have some mesh left, or are they
at minimum capacitance? That may be your problem.

I just bought an IFR FM/AM 1500 service monitor. Now I need a user's
manual. The service manual on RB and the applications booklet on RB
are helpful, but the user's manual would be a big help. Please let me
know if you have one that could be purchased or could be scanned for
the RB manual archive.
Yes, I can help you.

Hi Folks,
Here's the tale:
Got a 'free' set of cans donated to our ham repeater project.
The tags inside say it was originally in the 162 range, but had
been re-tuned to the 154 range.
Called the new owners of the dB product duplexer line, but it was
so old that they had no info. Was a 'SP'
You are correct sir, no mesh.
Isn't that that pits.
So I take it I'll be removing some windings from the underside of said
trimmer caps?
Or is there an easier route to sensitivity?

You could remove a turn (maybe even 1/2 turn) or you could change out the
trimmer or add a series cap. Yep, it stinks when that happens. Many times
another front end will work fine.

Did you first test it on it's original frequency before you retuned it?
It may have had a problem from the start.
Years ago, I tuned over 25 MastrII radios I got from the local state
police to 52.525Mhz as a project. Probably 2 or 3 of them would just
not tune up properly in the ham band.
Yes.
I have 2 front ends to work with.
Both showed around .3uv or so @ 46.xxmHz

A good question for you:
What should I be looking for on these as far as sensitivity goes?
Should I be happy if I see .35 or should I be able to get a little more?

Hi Lowell,
Near the front end helical section of the reciever there are two crystals and a
trimmer near them Also, 3 coils that need alignment. There are the ones I am
talking about. I have a feeling that these are the ones that are not aligned
properly. The reciever is very sensitive-about.12
What frequency are you on?
I'll need to look at a schematic to come up with much.

I think that I may have just what you need. It's called Application
Notes for the IFR-1500. I started to scan it, but we are having severe
lightning storms in the area and my UPS switched a few times. In the
Repeater-Builder area on YahooGroups, look at:
The manual states .25uV using 12-dB Sinad method, or .35uV using the
Quieting Method. I've always used the Sinad method and, to the best of
my ability to remember, I was able to get .25uV or even a little better.

What Jeff recommends is adjusting the
impedance matching
device and/or the power setting so as to optimize the
efficiency. In other
words, get more power to the antenna and reduce the amount of internal
heating. It may turn out that the point of optimum efficiency
is not at the
rated
Chuck's got you going down the right path. At 51 MHz, you probably only
have to take one turn off of each of the first two coils. At 52 MHz or
higher, you might have to take off two. You need a lot of heat to get the
casting open (hint: a soldering gun, even a 300 watt Weller, ain't gonna cut
Ok, now lets do the opposite. Set the spec analyzer to 147.1 tune
it up. Set up the sig gen @ 147.7 UH OH, 2.5dB loss.
The stubs (which I take it you removed) alter the pass response. They're
really notch cavities. Adding the stubs will change the response adjacent
to the notch from high

Jeff,
We're on the same wavelength, and your explanation is easier to understand
than mine.
Several years ago, my radio club was running a Yaesu FT-2500M transceiver as
the 2m side of a packet node. Since we had a nice hilltop site and a DB-225

I'm looking for any information on a Selectone ST-815 mobile DTMF decoder.
It's a small box, 2.75x1.5x2, with a monitor/reset button and a horn button

I need to know what the pin out on the back is and how it is programmed.
