Re: [AFMUG] OT: S10 Chevy heating issue

[Adam Moffett]

Yup.  On the Cavalier it wasn't the radiator cap but the coolant 
reservoir cap that regulated pressure.


I think it kept the coolant at 15 psi.  Higher pressure means higher 
boiling point, which means the fluid can transport more heat.

One additional thought..  I've had at least one rig where a 
bad/incorrect radiator cap would cause overheating as the radiator cap 
in many systems doubles as the pressure regulator for the system, and 
apparently system pressure matters for some engines.


Not sure if this applies in your case.

Last time I flew that route west-to-east, I did the follow I-80 routine. 
No problems. On the way back I was much further north.

If coming from the West, you have to stay between the two huge

I've definitely seen exactly that.

Mikrotik 532 at 100 fdx would just run like hell.
Mikrotik Netmetal 5 (I think these are 400 boards?) did great.

  If it's ping-watching another router as I understand it, first step is to try 
removing that to see if it fixes it.


  Some Mikrotiks of RB450/RB493 models had bad capacitors (Su'scon brown/green) 
and the routers would start crashing/freezing up after a few years.  I've taken 
them out of service, recapped them and used them for non-critical projects 
(amateur radio) etc.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: S10 Chevy heating issue

[Rory Conaway]

I’ve seen where cheap water pumps cavitate at slow speeds like idle.  I’ve also 
seen new water pumps that didn’t turn the inside impellor and just spin on the 
outer pulley because the inside impellor broke off.   It’s also possible your 
new thermostat is simply sticking and isn’t opening up enough.  Want to test 
that, pull it out and see if the problem goes away.

If you aren’t losing anti-freeze, the you probably don’t have a bad head 
gasket.  You could easily check that by pulling the plugs and look at them or 
get one of the $30 boroscopes that work with your phone and look in the 
cylinders.  My guess is either thermostat is wonky or you have a blocked 
passage in the block.  If that’s the case, throw a hail Mary and run some 
Prestone cleaner through there and see what comes out.

One additional thought..  I've had at least one rig where a bad/incorrect

pressure matters for some engines.

Not sure if this applies in your case.

Re: [AFMUG] rb493ah locking up

[CBB - Jay Fuller]

nope, it is watching the "core router" for that part of the network and it is 
certainly not going offline.
this is a routed network, when this routerboard goes down everything behind it 
goes down but everything in
front stays up.  i can't ping this routerboard during the outage but it 
reboots/resets about 30 minutes and 
everything is well until it happens again.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: S10 Chevy heating issue

 I wouldn't run without a t-stat. On a lot of cars you need the restriction
to give the radiator time to do its job. Sounds to me like if it was
smoking (from exhaust?) when heating, you might have a cracked head gasket.
It looks like you've replaced everything else.

Re: [AFMUG] FM radio colocation interference?

[Forrest Christian (List Account)]

Sometimes even a foot or two of cable length makes a difference.   At FM
frequencies the wavelength is around 3 meters, so a length change of 1.5m
may change a cable from worst case to best case.   Plus the positioning and
routing of a cable can make lots of difference.

It also wouldn't surprise me to find that a gigabit link is more stable.  A
lot of signal processing is neccesary to make gigabit work.  Some of it is
likely to improve noise rejection

Re: [AFMUG] FM radio colocation interference?

[Nate Burke]

Has anybody found differences in the Ethernet equipment used and 
errors?  We have a site with a 4kw FM about 50' away from our gear. An 
FSK Cluster will not run at 100mb, only 10mb.  A powerbridge at the same 
level sometimes negotiates down to 10mb, but mostly stays at 100mb.  An 
EPMP radio happily sits at 1G with no issues.  They are all at the same 
height/cable length/cable type.  The FSK Radios plug into a RB2011, and 
the powerbridge and EPMP plug into a RB1100.  So there is a difference 
between the Ethernet chipset in the radio equipment and routers.  I can 
only guess that some combination there of is more sensitive to the FM 
than the others.

Theres a potentially new FM radio tenant wanting to colocate on a tower we are 
already on. We're predicting there is absolutely no way this will work with our 
100BT and 1000BT Ethernet links.

One thing to check is if you're getting exhaust gases in the radiator.
There are kits to test this.

Re: [AFMUG] 450 no sync

[Colin Stanners]

The internal GPS antenna on those models wasn't great, having a big metal
case on one side of it doesn't help. Better to add external sync, uGPS or
the like.

We do.. 100k at the top .. no issues, use good cabling and you don't have

Ok, as it turns out a reboot didn't fix it but a power cycle did ;-)

[AFMUG] 450 no sync

[Rhys Cuff (Latrobe I.T)]

Hello

 

I am using a 3.6ghz 450 with internal sync.

It now is not syncing.

 

Sync pulse source says "Searching"

Onboard GPS says "No Sync"

GPS Receiver says "Acquiring GPS Information..."

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Thanks

 

Rhys
