[Repeater-Builder] Possible interference ??
Wondering if anybody's had experience with this gizmo: well-meaning brother-in-law gifted me with a "Wireless Weather Station with 433 mhz outdoor sensor" (official Weather Channel product !) -- of course, the radar went up immediately !! I've restrained myself from tearing into the packaging (and rendering it un-returnable), pending opinions / horror-stories from others... What say, guys ??

You should see it on a spectrum monitor. Its all over the 430-470 mhz band every 10 seconds. Wipes out all of my 440 and 460 monitors. Mine in an Oregon xxx product.

Contacted the manufacturer about the exact frequency and other concerns. Supposedly xmits on 433.93Mhz. Never seen it on Spectrum analyser so can't speak to that. Had another ham friend with one running and he reported no interference on close frequency receptions so I opened and installed mine.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Possible interference ??
A little over two years ago I was given an large LCD "Atomic Clock" (has a built-in 60khz WWVH receiver) that had a remote outside temperature sensor on 433.9mhz and gave Ed Haire W1RFI at the League a heads up email. He's the RFI interference guru there and had never heard of such an item so I borrowed a neighbor's digital camera for a few hours and sent him a few digital pictures. What I have looks a lot like this but is all brushed aluminum... http://www.gormangiftgallery.com/digatclocwit1.html My unit's temperature sensor is a small white square TX (about 3 by 3 inches and 1 inch thick) that uses a pair of AAA penlite cells (that last about 2 months - mine now lives in a garden tools closet powered by 3v wall wart... a piece of doweling cut to length with 2 thumbtacks stuck in the ends for contacts makes a nice battery replacement and is a reversible modification... ) Europe has several channels around 433.9x for lo-rate pulsed stuff like this. Mine chirps for about 1/5 of a second every few minutes, and I hear 5 or 6 of them in the neighborhood. This Christmas I saw a dozen differently packaged variants everywhere from Brookstone (an expensive toy store) to Costco (big box retail warehouse store) to the local Radio Shack.

Stuff on 433 has been popular with the low-power/low-range data folks (like these clocks/weather stations) for a number of years now. Pick up a copy of any electronics mag (Circuit Cellar, Nuts & Volts, etc.) and you'll see 10-20 advertisements for low-power data RF modules that can be interfaced easily to any serial device or to a microcontroller. Weather stations are probably the largest deployed base of users, with robotics/machinery control and other data experimenters in second place. There are modules for different bands, some shared with Hams, some not. Another popular option is 900 MHz. All are Part 15 devices but many of the experimenter's kits or the raw modules themselves don't come with antennas attached -- and the people building projects with them as hobbyists won't know the RF power limits and ERP limits imposed on them by this and have surely used gain antennas, etc... for some projects. -- Nate Duehr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - WY0X Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
Does anyone have the service manual for the Kenwood 701A dual band mobile. I just fixed one by changing the 440 front end fet with the 144 front end fet (they are both the same)my buddy really just needed his UHF side working. But I would like to replace the bad fet (now in the 2 meter side) with a new one. The markings on it only say 3RS and nothing more. Thanks in advance. Gregg R.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
3RS is a good marking for a SMT device. This is a GaAs-N-FET made by Matsushita Denshi Kogyo Co. It is in a SOT-143 package and is of type 3SK184-S. I was unable to find a source of these with Google. I did find that these were a common transistor and also used by Icom and Alinco. These were a high failure Item.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Antenna vs 50 Ohm load
Consider also that a dummy load accepts all manner of frequencies without complaint, being non-resonant by design, while a tuned circuit (like an antenna or duplexer cavity) will complain about harmonic content and spurious output. Perhaps the transmitter wasn't producing clean output. 73, Ken KB3JA Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
Yeah, that smell of the new catalog! Came in a brown wrapper. Still have a few of the old ones, can't seem to be able to throw them away. I remember when we found out that Lafayette's cost code was "PHARMOCIST" then we knew just how low to pay for an item. Rode my bike the 5 miles to the store in Livonia Michigan three times in one day after the right parts. We only have one parts store in the entire Detroit area that I know of, The Electronic Connection in Westland. Their prices are at least three times what I can buy them for on the internet. They won't be long. Mostly sell CB's and radar detectors to truckers. There are Newark and RS Electronics outlets but they cater to the automotive companies. Newark stocks very little here due to warehouse taxing. RS is expensive too. 73, Shanon KA8SPW -Original Message- From: Ken Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2004 5:30 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions Yeah, life was good when the new Allied catalog arrived...the stuff dreams are made of. 73, Ken KB3JA -Original Message- >Boy, I long for the old-time radio electronics places like Lafayette Radio >and Burstein-Applebee.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Possible interference ??
Here in Europe,there are so many use of this kind of transmitter.I have a friend who own a repeater on TX 433,175 MHz in a urban area,he didn't have any complaint from surroundings(Perhaps,nobody knows origin of trouble!).Many times that's our system (own station or repeater) who shut off radio link between RX and TX.Manufacturer of radio modules use AM modulation with wide band filters.It's cheaper than FM narrow bandwidth.Center of this free use band is 433,920 MHz but you could find system from 433,020 to 434,780 MHz.Usually,troubles from this use to amateur are coming from wireless headphones.It works in wide band FM like broadcast radios. Because of this frequency band is full of users and with so many trouble in EMC,new frequencys allowed are from 863 to 868 MHz. Happy new year to all repeater builders and 73.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
There used to be a land mobile radio surplus (2-way radio) place in the greater Los Angeles area back in the late sixties ?? called Mann Communications and Electronics. One fine day, the owner Jim Mann, and I were discussing the prices he sold stuff. Then he asked me how did I sort out the prices stuff should be? I replied "I take your price and divide by two!" He didn't speak to me for a couple of weeks. Well, that was how I did figure the price ... just because he didn't like it ...

Those of you out there who are fortunate enough to be able to get the current Electronic Engineering Master (Catalog) every year, don't toss out your older copies. Seems the 2004 issue is now listing most if not all of the manufacturers by their URL's. I looked at some of the URL's - and a few of them don't have a land-line telephone number listed anywhere on the site. That's where I have found the older EEM issues are quite handy.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
You are quite correct ... was C&A Electronics ... Don't remember when / where I bought my Red Book or the Yellow Book for that matter either. When those books first arrived on the scene, I already had 'collected' a few of the original factory manuals. As you may guess, I still have those manuals too. As far as I know, I never had an FMTRU-5V manual ... the Red/Yellow Books were handy for that too. Speaking of the 5V ... the one I had, I modified ... ever so slightly ... by changing my added power connectors, the radio could be used on either 12 volts (factory was ONLY 6 volts) or 110 VAC / external power supply. Might you need that modification diagram for one of your iders? Remember when there was a GE version of the Red / Yellow Books? I have a set of those too.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
Adam, the connectors for the power cords on my old 520 is a Jones Socket (female). Now made by GC/Waldom. The P/N SHOULD be S-312-CCT. That P/N is NOT shown in my 2002/2003 Allied Catalog but the mating plug is shown, P-312-CCT. I suggest you give them a call; 800 433 5700. They recently came up with some power transistors for our 25 year old church mixing board. Also check the Digi-Key web page.Regards, Lou Aiken, LaMer LLC 27109 Palmetto DriveOrange Beach, AL36561 USA tel ++ 1 251 981 6786fax ++ 1 251 981 3054Cell ++ 1 251 979 4648 - Original Message - From: Adam T.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions
If I recall the 12 pin plug on my old 520 was the same plug as on some of the Reel to reel tape machines at the radio station where I worked. The machines were MCI, Otari or Ampex, with my best guess being the Otari for the remote control connections. Since so many radio stations no longer use the reel to reels, you might find some of the plugs in the local radio station's junk boxes. Can't hurt to ask. I'll check my junk boxes at work Monday.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] LMR-195 as interconnect cables for repeater
It requires the crimping tool which now most everyone has, and be careful folding tight corners as when the aluminum foil tears open you are left with plain old coax. For this reason I use only double shielded cabling on my repeater projects, when something slips out of place and strains that cable I can re-use it but on the lmr stuff you have to get chewing gum or kitchen foil to wrap around it till you can replace it. uplink28 wrote: > > I've been looking at LMR-195 to use as a substitute to RG-142/U for > interconnect cables in the repeater system.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Antenna vs 50 Ohm load

[Repeater-Builder] SWR between radio and duplexer
Is the SWR between radio and duplexer supposed to be perfect? Seems like I cannot achieve low loss through the cans and low SWR at the transmitter output all at the same time. SWR between duplexer and antenna is perfect at all times, though. Adi -- Adi Linden | va3adi | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://adis.ca +-+ IRLP Node 2590 in Sioux Lookout, Ontario Yahoo!
