Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Z-Matcher
Well the 300 that we used had them,they were all 100 or 110 watt repeaters,musta been an option but we never asked for it,they just came that way,or maybe only used on the higher power repeaters? Or more likely deleted by some bean counter somewhere. As always,YMMV. Personally I'd rather have it installed,picky picky 73,Lee - Original Message - From: Fred Flowers To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 1:27 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Z-Matcher Not really true.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] VHF repeater and APRS on same antenna?
We used to have a digi on 145.01 and a Mars repeater on the same antenna. Had to buy a 4 can filter from DB products and hook the antenna connections to this filter. Worked well.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Z-Matcher
I wonder if it had the relay board in it or just a plain board with a single connection? A relay board would indicate a base station,not a repeater. They may have sold you the wrong type,it happened to us. You could still install the GE part if you could find one,but if its working,let it play. I had run thru all the aftermarket amps at one time or another and was never happy with any of them. The MastrII is my choice and has been for 25 years,solid as a rock! Still has transistor date codes of 1977 on my finals... Now to find a car that will last that long...one can dream I guess. 73,Lee - Original Message - From: "John J.

[Repeater-Builder] Shack clean-up time
I have several base stations that I need to move as storage space is becoming a problem. I would entertain cash offers, but would prefer a trade. Shipping will be a problem, so I would be willing to drive up to 150 miles one-way to deliver this equipment and complete a deal. Items are: GE Mastr II 330 watt Low Band base currently on 47MHz. This unit has what is known as the "IDA Control Shelf". It has two additional LB Mastr II monitor receivers, also on 47 MHz. Condition is about a 7 out of 10. I have a NOS 4CX250 final amp tube I will throw in with this station. I have a complete manual for this rig. GE Mastr IIe 100 watt Low-Band base also on 47 MHz. Operating condition of base sation is unknown. Also equipped with two aux Mastr II monitor receivers on 47 MHz and a DB rx multicoupler. This station also comes with a manual. Motorola Micor UHF 75 watt factory community repeater. This repeater is in the 450-470 MHz range. This unit comes with a T-1504 duplexer. Someone has removed the duplexer form its normal rack panel and drilled large holes in the cabinet top. The duplexer is installed with the tuning shafts sticking down into the cabinet and the cans upright on top of cabinet. I have another empty cabinet the correct size I would throw in with this station. I may be able to come up with a manual for this one. Items that I am looking for include a Motorola Micor TLD1692 140-150MHz continous duty PA, a Hickok 600A tube tester, and a mobile HF transciever with six meters similar to an Alinco DX-70TH or an Icom IC-706MKIIG. Pictures are available upon request. If anyone is interested, please contact me directly. I live in southwest Indiana. Thanks for your interest and 73, Kevin, K9HX Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Z-Matcher
Hi Lee, Well there was not one in our repeater, it was a 110 Watt Mastr 11 large cabinet model. I still have the manual for it here. It was built in Toronto so maybe the US units were different. It could be that they added this feature just after our unit was built to stop the complaints of the "Spurs" on the TX when used in to a duplexer??? Any how it was a good move on their part. I wish I could have convinced Mirage to do that on their repeater Amp... they would not listen I talked to the president of the company at Dayton about it as well. That Amp was recently sold on E bay by the local club This is all "water under the bridge " now. 73 John VE3AMZ . - Original Message - From: "Lee Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 10:39 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Z-Matcher > Maybe they did for some reason(out of stock?) but the one in the pics > is definately a GE part,listed in their parts CD.

Lee, When the GE Mastr 11 first came out, we had one here for the VE3RSO repeater and at that time (1975) there was NO "Z" matcher included !
