Re: [Repeater-Builder] Looking for info on DB products cans (6meter)
They will go without anything, I have the 38mhz 4set and they worked good on a tube transmitter but you will probably need 6 to go with transistor pa deck. Adding notch stubs will help but if you have only 4 you will have a lot of desense with silicon finals, try to keep your bottle finals going.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: 900 mhz pa equip
I believe these are Class C, so they will work fine as FM or CW PAs-- probably at 100% duty cycle. They'd probably go like hotcakes for weak signal SSB if someone figures out a way to modify/use them in linear (Class A, AB1, AB2, B) service. It would obviously involve adding some bias circuitry, etc. I have a Motorola Purc 300W and a Glenayre 150W (both 900 MHz) that I'd love to be able to use that way. Way too much power for typical repeater PA use. Too big for paperweights or doorstops, wrong form factor for a boat anchor (and I don't own an ocean liner, anyway). If anybody knows how to mod these things for linear service, please share it.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: DB-224 Questions
Typically the SWR is pretty good at 440 without modifications. It wouldn't be worth the effort. As far as the modification for two meters, I'd cut and extend the elements before I'd add the bolts. The bolts seem to be a hokey modification to me. Your bigger problem is going to be the harness anyway.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: DB-224 Questions
No need to. The DB-420 for 450-470 is also resonant enough to work from somewhere around 443.x and up..

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 900 mhz pa equip and other goodies
OK, guys, the amps are Spectrian ?DM-880-45/ NT3P21CD 850mhz?, black aluminum bout 12 inches long, 5 inches wide, 3 inches high, made to slide into rack. Also just found a UHF receiver, rack mount, looks like micor vintage, brown panel about 12 inches high(didn't see a model number) with antenna connector on back(SO-238) Got a couple of Standard RP-70, looks like UHF, (could be VHF, knowing Standard). One looks complete, minus case, other has been used for parts. Anybody interested, you can call me at 504-835-7722 up till about 7pm central time. Minimal charge(got to pay the guys to dig it back out of the dumpster) + shipping for whatever you want. I'll list other stuff as it's pulled off the shelves for sorting. russ wrote: What do you have? Make model, power in, power out.
