The transformer HV winding had shorted to the case.
The fix until Collins could get a new one to them was
to stand the transformer on two 4x4s wrapped in a
plastic tarp, and a LOT of warning signs.

I think he said that he is looking for a place to get discriminator
audio. I am looking for this as well. I got it off the back of the
squelch pot and am running it to an RLC-MOT (Motorola Squelch module)
and to a tp-3200 CTCSS/DCS decoder. The squelch works fine but the
TP-3200 does not like to audio (won't decode the PL found in this
audio)? The tp-3200 works fine with every other radio that I have
tested and all three TP-3200's that I have won't work with this audio.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Radios for 900 mhz

2004-10-27 Thread Doug Bade

In general 800 maxtracs are good for 900 receivers however the tx 
components and the vco will not go easily to 900. If you pin the T/A vco on 
high rnage and program for 900 freq, as well as change the murata filters, 
they can generally tune the whole 900 band in 5khz deviation... We use them 
on many repeaters as the +_5khz gives elbowroom for off freq mobiles as 
many users do not have service monitors readily available... Tx deviations 
are generally limited to 12k5 bandwidth specs on 927.. but the receivers 
are left alone. They can be narrowed, but most are not yet until we need to 
get that close with pairs..

There are tons of 900 paging amps around which require no mods.. Purc 5000 
Stations are almost free for the taking in some areas. The ACS controller 
handles 927 entries

The mod is not for the faint of heart. We 
destroyed at least one or two pa's trying 
to convert them up to 900. 

First was the dremel, later retired for drops 
of ferric cloride on the ceramic modules. 

The best we ever got was about 75 to 80% of 
the 800 range rated power level. 

The 800 tube repeater pa's were a much 
easier conversion.

Very interesting...  I have a Motorola Micor 800MHz-75w continous duty PA,
and a Motorola Nucleus paging PA (supposed) high power.
I never really thought about what to use them for, just stacked them in the
shack for a "future" project.

I was actually thinking about 900-ATV (FM of course)...  I also have a small
"Mitsi" brick that I managed to get going, good for about 20 watts before it
saturates.

What would be entailed in converting a 800MHz Maxtrac to narrow-band FM(I
don't have the model number handy right now)...  is it worth the effort?
Will the Maxtrac even do 2.5 kHz?  One of those things I just haven't had
time to investigate.

One small point. Most of the new 927 MHz repeaters are narrow band 2.5 kHz
the Micor is wide as is most things from 800 MHz are. 5 KZ. A lot of folks
will use a Maxtrac from 800 MHz and leave it wide and use a Spectra for the
transmit.

2004-10-27 Thread Doug Bade

 No amateur manufactured radio's, however at least 12-15 models of 
900 and some 800 commercial can be readily moved.. There are currently 
about 100 repeaters on 902/927 pairings in the US, most of which are less 
than 3 years old.. there is a significant effort to modify and build, and 
plenty of parts available. It is definitely an interesting band.

For those interested in 900 activity in this repeater/user category, one of 
the larger homes for data and users is  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Most of the 900 repeater operators in the country lurk there, as well as 
most of the folks who have developed various mods, and lots of data 
archived in the what can and what cannot be done...  Most Moto 900 
commercial gear has some if not good to excellent potential in 902-928, 
with the proper mods...

There are only a few GE 900 commercial products that adapt well...

YMMV..

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Need Motorola TPN1041B

2004-10-27 Thread wn1b8


Thanks Mike and Neil.  I have a feeling that shipping will be a 
killer on this one.  This is one heavy transformer.  I'll check it 
out, though.  That may be the best solution.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor for 900 mhz

2004-10-27 Thread skipp025


It's a bit of work Al, I did one or two back in the 80's. 

You have to mod a lot of stuff... from memory, we had to 
actually grind the preselectors a bit, mod the pa by 
removing part of the pa micro strips and dink with a 
lot of the misc stages.  Was a lot of work, but we ended 
up with a working repeater, which did about 60% of the 
rated 800Mhz power. 
I seem to remember the high stab osc crystal change is 
what killed our budget quite a bit. 

cheers, 
skipp

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service

2004-10-27 Thread Joe

As a few people stated, there are good 2-way shops that are willing and 
very capable of servicing a Maggiore, but I would not count on this across 
the entire USA.

Good luck and 73,

Years ago a tech for a local paging operation commented that
having Peter Dahl Company rebuild the transformers was
cheaper than getting replacemnts.  The economics may have
changed since then, but it might be worth:
(a) pricing out the shipping, and
(b) dropping Dahl an email.

de Mike WA6ILQ, who still wishes that he had a picture
of the "quick fix" on the Collins  TX at KALI (10kw AM)
The transformer HV winding had shorted to the case.
The fix until Collins could get a new one to them was
to stand the transformer on two 4x4s wrapped in a
plastic tarp, and a LOT of warning signs.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Tone Remote Decoder question

2004-10-27 Thread Ed Folta






  Oct 26 - 2004
   
  Hello group!
   
  Anyone out there have any recommendation for a Tone Remote 
  Decoder board
  that will have a minimum recovery time between decoding 
  packets.
   
  We are looking for a vendor who has something that will 
  decode quick repetitions of PTT.
   
  Explained another way - in a tone remote the first tone is a 
  high level guard tone followed by a high level control tone
  and then by low-level guard tone ( ptt tone ).  this 
  represets a "packet".  We wish to send 
  packets with short intervals between them.  Say < 25 
  ms.
