[Repeater-Builder] IFR 1200

2004-06-03 Thread Chuk Gleason
Regarding IFR 1200, and maybe the COM 120; 

Several years ago I heard about "someone" who had developed a pico-fuse holder 
antenna input for the 1200; kinda like is in the M. R2600 
monitor (little 1/8 or even 1/16 amp green picofuse behind the BNC Female 
connector.

Anyone else ever hear about this?  Have info?  Can share???

[Repeater-Builder] Re: PL on a MASTR II

2004-06-03 Thread Coy Hilton

First let me say before anyone else, GE doesn't have "PL" that 
having been said lets get to it.

Look at the PTT input line on the SS64 this turns on and off the 
CTCSS encode. I dont have a schematic in front of me right now, but 
I beleave that it is active low. When this line goes low it turns on 
the encoder. I used this same approach, keying off COR active to 
turn on encode so that only when there is acitivity does the encoder 
turn on. This way people who have their radio set for CTCSS Decode 
only hears the QSO no Iding or anything else. It's also easy to hook 
up so that decode turns on encode or both (decode + COR) turns on 
decode.

[Repeater-Builder] New guy

2004-06-03 Thread ve3ebc


Hello all:

Interesting list you have here. I am wondering if there is anyone 
out there with info on a repeater I picked up a few months ago...

Mfg   Western Radio Services Inc. of Seattle Washington
Model WR-454


It's an x-tal oldie that puts about 10w out on 463Mhz, shuld pull 
down to 70cm with no problem I figure. The rx has a blown af amp 
though. Rx works well otherwise. All in a nice grey 19" rack mount 
pkg. Not being used to looking at repeaters I am wondering why there 
is two x-tal sockets in the tx and rx units only one of which is 
used? As is the norm the manual and schematics are missing.

Tnx and 73

Re: [Repeater-Builder] looking for two or three d8085ac-2 8 bit 40 pin prossors 3 mhz?

2004-06-03 Thread Micheal Salem
Randy:

8085's are available from the surplus shops, including some of
the sources that have been mentioned and B. G. Micro (I think).
I have collected a couple of extra's also for various projects.
If you can't find any, I will look and see if I still have the
one I bought.

It does sound like from your description that the CPU has a power
problem.  However, it could also be the 12 volt to 5 volt regulator
that has gone bad and while it is internally OK, it drops under
current drain.   This might be consistent with an increase in
the series resistance that shows full voltage open circuit
and drops with current draw.

Processors are so internal to the device that they are usually
the last things to go.  A friend of mine who designs embedded systems
and has done several 8085 projects indicates to me that in
all of the stuff he has dealt with, he had never seen a
processor go down. The point is that if it got the microprocessor,
it may have also taken a lot of the other IC's also.  It may be the
combination of other chips or the regulator.

I hope this is helpful.

This is very esay! The pin marked hook. Send this over to your COR, set it

If that's your real reason...

Take the weather radio out of the repeater cabinet, down to the park, 
and plug it into a decent audio PA and a loudspeaker and set it in 
Alert mode.

You'll have the added comfort of saving the lives of poor families with 
children that don't have the money to be able to buy MURS radios.

And you'll have less struggle shielding it from the repeater(s).

And just think! NWS RF engineers went through all that trouble to set 
up decent coverage patterns and lots of transmitters in town just so 
people at the park could receive the signal.  Amazing.  Almost like 
they planned it or something.  What will they think of next?  $10 
WeatherRadios at Radio Shack?  I can hardly wait!

;-)  (Heh heh...)

Nate WY0X

(Sorry Don, your sob story about the families with children at parks 
had me laughing out loud... families that can afford to outfit everyone 
with MURS radios, but can't think far enough ahead to go inside when 
it's raining, look at a weather forecast at least once a day, leave a 
commercial broadcast radio on in the background (EBS), or buy a 
WeatherRadio... and are so clueless that you have to "rescue" them with 
illegal MURS broadcasts from NWS.  That's rich.  I was laughing hard 
enough that it hurt on that one!  Maybe they need to enroll the kids in 
Scouting instead of Little League.  Then maybe the kids will take care 
of Mom and Dad and bring the rain ponchos for them too.)

I dug out my Micor squelch replicant and started
playing with it a few weeks ago. I had some prototype
boards etched and I built up one to try. Actually, the
AS board on the local 440 machine (a Micor mobile)
died and instead of putting in a mother M replacement,
I shoved mine in there to test it out. I have a built
in audio buffer, just like the original, but no audio
amplification (we don't need speaker audio on our
repeaters).

Anyway, it's been running for about a month now, and I
can't tell it from the real thing. I'm very happy with
how it works on the micor, probably need to get some
out to test on other types of receivers. I put an LED
on it so I can see when the squelch opens, but except
for that it draws less than 10 mA.

I have an onboard open collector transistor, and a
positive going voltage when unsquelched, so it will
work with about any type of controller. It's on a
board about 2 x 2.5 inches, I just screwed it into one
of the holes that previously held the original AS
board.

Anyway, when I get some time (after field day) I'll
probably build the other 5 up, and make them available
for testing on different radios. Would be one more
option for use, if they pan out OK.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] SQ-1000 vs RLC-MOT Squelch

2004-06-03 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have to agree on the little Link-Comm RLC-MOT board. You give it +12VDC,
discriminator audio, and you get out a nice high or low-going COS signal
and gated audio, along with that great MICOR strong/weak signal squelch
action switching. It's just so convenient and works so well, I just
automatically plan to add one to just about any repeater/link needing a
good COS signal and gate audio (like for some of the ACC controllers). It
comes with double-sided sticky tape and will fit just about anywhere even
if you don't have much room available.

I wonder if anyone has added one of the RLC-MOT boards to any of their ICOM
IC-900 series band modules or used one with any of the Kenwood radios and a
Doug Hall RBI-1 interface? If you have, I'd be interested to know how and
where you used one, and how you liked it. I have both some 6 and 10-Meter
ICOM band modules and an RBI-1 with Kenwood radios for 2M, 220, 440 and
1200 MHz.

Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] SQ-1000 vs RLC-MOT Squelch


Hi,

The Link Comm unit is much smaller and much better suited for 
installation in other than Micor equipment.  Of course, this 
'convenience' comes at a price, but if you aren't cramped for space 
there is no advantage of the Link Comm unit since it is solely based on 
the Micor Squelch Chip.  The Link Comm product is, in my opinion, the 
best choice for adding a quality carrier squelch to any radio lacking a 
good one, at this time.  It is a very popular upgrade in our Mastr II, 
MVP and Mitrek mobile conversions.

I have used every replica squelch board available today, including the 
SQ-1000.  The SQ-1000 is the better choice of all of the replica boards, 
but like all of them, it's digital and it operates like it's digital.  
These replica boards use processors that aren't fast enough, in my 
opinion, for analogue like squelch action.  Another problem is some of 
these boards suffer from insufficient high pass filtering and voice talk 
off, along with other issues, can really become a problem.  The SQ-1000 
has sufficient HP filtering, but I just don't care for a digitally 
derived carrier squelch.

Scott Zimmerman and I have been working on an analogue replica of the 
Micor Squelch for some time (several years).  Since the Micor Squelch 
chip is still available we haven't spent any serious time perfecting 
it.  Some day the Micor Squelch chip will be hard to come by, and we'll 
dig out our version of this circuit, perfect it, and turn it into a product.

  Part of that includes:

Re: [Repeater-Builder] PL on a MASTR II

2004-06-03 Thread mch
Although I have one myself, I don't recall if the CAT has any link
ports. If it does, drive the encoder off a link TX output (and don't
forget to put the link in TX mode). Otherwise, you will have to find a
way to pad the COS to drive both the controller and the encoder.

It appears you may be in luck. From the CAT page: "When enabled, user
function switch #3 is converted to a transceiver PTT while Logic input
#1 is converted to a transceiver COR"

So, just enable that and use SW #3 to drive the encoder. :-)

You can do that - all you need is raw discriminator audio, two 25k pots,
and +9.6 volts DC.  If you need a PL decode line you need to add a
PL decoder board - it plugs into the audio-squelch card.  Note that
there are two different PL decode boards - if I remember correctly
there are 5-pin and 7-pin cards.

The Micor audio PA is not needed in a repeater environment.  If
you want a local speaker amp just use an LM386. It also consumes
a lot less DC current.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] buillding a repeater

2004-06-03 Thread Neil McKie

  I agree about collecting Micor parts ... goes for GE-cor (Ok, Mastr 
 II) too.  The manufacturers haven't been supporting those radios in 
 a very long time, you you don't sandbag for the day when you might 
 need some spare parts, who will?  

  I nearby friend just unloaded 8 more Micor cabinets with various 
 radios in them last week. 

  Part of that includes: 

  C42RCB - 72-76 MHz Micor Station 
  C71RTB - 42-50 MHz Micor Station (a two freq transmitter & 2 one 
  freq receivers.) 
  C53MHY - 150.8 - 162 MHz - continuous duty repeater. (Came with 
  the factory blower assembly.) 

  Multi other stuff too.  

  Ok, who is looking for what?  I have enuf here to be able to part 
 as the need ariszes.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] SQ-1000 vs RLC-MOT Squelch

2004-06-03 Thread Kevin Custer






Hi,

The Link Comm unit is much smaller and much better suited for
installation in other than Micor equipment.  Of course, this
'convenience' comes at a price, but if you aren't cramped for space
there is no advantage of the Link Comm unit since it is solely based on
the Micor Squelch Chip.  The Link Comm product is, in my opinion, the
best choice for adding a quality carrier squelch to any radio lacking a
good one, at this time.  It is a very popular upgrade in our Mastr II,
MVP and Mitrek mobile conversions.

I have used every replica squelch board available today, including the
SQ-1000.  The SQ-1000 is the better choice of all of the replica
boards, but like all of them, it's digital and it operates like it's
digital.  These replica boards use processors that aren't fast enough,
in my opinion, for analogue like squelch action.  Another problem is
some of these boards suffer from insufficient high pass filtering and
voice talk off, along with other issues, can really become a problem. 
The SQ-1000 has sufficient HP filtering, but I just don't care for a
digitally derived carrier squelch.

Scott Zimmerman and I have been working on an analogue replica of the
Micor Squelch for some time (several years).  Since the Micor Squelch
chip is still available we haven't spent any serious time perfecting
it.  Some day the Micor Squelch chip will be hard to come by, and we'll
dig out our version of this circuit, perfect it, and turn it into a
product.

The RLC-MOT actually uses the Motorola Micor chip, so it would be the 
one of choice between your two suggestions...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Converting a MASTR Desk Mate

2004-06-03 Thread Neil McKie

  LL201 = late radio Mastr-Pro / early cabinet ... 

  The transmitter may easily go to 51.84 or it may not.  In the past 
 my fix was to remove one turn from the final grid tank coil and it 
 will tune in range. 

  Just an opinion here,

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Amp TLD1693 and I'm Confused

2004-06-03 Thread Glenn Little WB4UIV
If you want the amplifier to be resonate in a split for which it was not 
designed, you have to change the resonating parts. If you do not want the 
amplifier to be resonate, do not change the resonating parts. If I drive a 
80 Meter amplifier hard enough with a 40 Meter signal, you will get a 40 
Meter signal out, but the amplifier is not resonate. If you resonate the 
amplifier, the current drawn goes down and heat produced goes down for a 
specified output. The Micor amplifier used transistors that were not 
constant impedance. As you shift the amplifier from resonance, current goes 
up, heat goes up, power goes down and spurious products go up as the 
impedance of the transistor changes. The reason Motorola designed the 
amplifier in four ranges to cover 136 to 174 was to keep the impedance of 
the stages correct over the frequency range. You can become a good neighbor 
and operate the amplifier at resonance, or you can operate it off resonance 
and stand a good chance of helping to deny hams access to other towers 
owned by the company that is providing you tower space.

My suggestion is operate the amplifier at resonance, keep your power bill 
down, keep your repair costs down and become a good neighbor to the other 
users of the RF spectrum.

[Repeater-Builder] looking for two or three d8085ac-2 8 bit 40 pin prossors 3 mhz?

2004-06-03 Thread randy kisthardt
hello 
im looking to buy two or so d8085ac-2 prossors to repair my acc rc- 
96, that got a surg on the phone line.
the prossor was pulling down the 5 volt rail and pulling it out 
retured the 5 volts. im sure its bad.
everthing elce looks ok so far ,the connect relay is toast but i got 
one of them and the transistor that turns it on . i need a prossor to 
go aney further
with it. i miss the old controller all readey. we have been getting 
bad storms here in south kentucky latley. i know now that i shuld 
have grounded the ground terminal on the back of the controller. i 
thought that the signal grounds were the same. the termnial grounds 
the discharge tube.im learning the hard way ha ha  so if you got one 
or two you can part with or know of a place i can get a few 
reasonable or a good sub with out big minumin order
please let me know

thanks
randy AG4ZQ

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Amplifier Question

2004-06-03 Thread Mark
it should be a highband 40 watt in 140 watt out.
if you open it up should be a single board with 2 paralleled output devices
(assuming I remember it all correctly)  Trilectric was bought by DB and
operated out of their Chicago (actually Hoffman Estates) lab unitl they were
bought out
