Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: A heads-up to repeater owners

2005-01-14 Thread Scott Zimmerman

It just figures. I don't read my e-mail for a few days and there is a
topic I can really offer some input about... OH Well, better late than never
I guess.

I have one of these receivers up at a local repeater and it works
wonderfully. I will try to get to the site today (Friday) and take some
pictures so I can build a page for the RB site that describes the interface
I made. It really works nice. I mounted a BNC on the back for an external
antenna connection and have a DB-9 mounted in the case for the connections
to the controller.

Please stand by..

[Repeater-Builder] (Icom-2at) Portable Radio Repeaters

2005-01-14 Thread skipp025


Very true... or you need to park at least a decent front 
end on the receiver (and shield the radio in a metal box). 
Hamtronics makes a rather interesting (neat) helical filter 
preamp that does the job on some modest preformance receivers. 
(or get the helical without the preamp)

The wide band front end capacity of the Icom-2at portables 
are not happy with a transmitter nearby.  You have to 
provide more than the stock/factory front end protection 
to most portables... tis the nature of most portable 
radios. 

The MVP has a much better receiver front end vs the Icom 
Handheld. The Icom portables can be made to play in "a 
poor mans repeater", but you will need to help the receiver 
survive the trip. 

There is no free lunch...

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR-820

2005-01-14 Thread skipp025


Re: Kenwood TKR-820

Well... 

The logic output is an unbuffered line on the Signaling 
unit (the small repeater/ctcss controller board) uP. There 
are actually two lines, one labeled TOR and Tone, I believe 
they are next to each other.  The TOR line comes out to a 
small unused solder pad. It's all surface mount circuitry, 
so be extra carefull. 

[thank you to Juan for the inforatmion about the TOR line]

I tried to measure the transistion of the TOR line with 
various types of programming and signaling options. I 
could not get the TOR logic to change state.  

I have two or three revisions of the tkr-820 manual, 
some have different signaling board versions, it's 
possible one version might output a valid ctcss "QT" 
indication, but I have yet solve that issue. 

If your TOR logic functions, it would be possible to 
remove R38 (in the normal COR logic line), a zero ohm 
jumper/resistor and tie the regular COR logic to the 
TOR uP output. This mod is not for the faint of 
heart... R38 is a surface mount part on the under 
side of the pc board. 

The more practical fix: 
If you are using one valid ctcss tone, a com spec 
decoder on the Descrimnator output pin might be in 
order. 

I called Kenwood Tech Support (I'm an Authorized 
Kenwood Sales & Service Shop) and they faxed me over 
a small bit of information related to the accessory 
plug and some descriptions of the "W" jumpers on the 
Signaling board.  But nothing to address a Tone - 
Digital Code detect logic output. The Service Manuals 
I have here are bit thin on the W3/W4 and various 
jumper options. So I've ordered a few sets of new and 
current 820/720 repeater service manuals to resolve 
the board revision fun. 

Pin 13 of the accessory jack outputs a logic transition 
with any on frequency rx signal. Be carefull when 
interfacing they pin 13 voltage. It's a voltage 
transition of about ~ 3.95 volts no signal to about 
~ .4 volts with a received signal.  It's easy to 
damage the circuitry, so a buffer circuit should be 
built and used.  

I've designed what I call a universal cor circuit, 
which doesn't care what voltage transition a logic 
output line makes. You connect it to the circuit and 
quickly set one simple adjustment. The board output 
is known buffered logic output levels and operates 
from ~3.5 volt to 32.5 volt supplies without mods. 

More on this as the pc boards arrive... 

If you'd like to use a tkr-820 or tkr-720 with an 
external controller, program the repeater for carrier 
squelch, connect the controller to the accessory 
jack along with an external ctcss/dcs encoder/decoder 
board. There are three "audio output" signals on the 
jack, one is discriminator audio, one a gated 
receiver audio and the third is rmt speaker output.

Using the above, the Repeat, Monitor and Take-over 
buttons on the front panel will be in the "out" 
position. 

I'll look at the repeater builder text to see if 
any additional information is available. 

cheers, 
skipp

The silver plated type are a bit expensive, but as far as the solder type
go, the first one you solder will hook you for life.  The solder flows to
the heat very easy and uniform.  Makes a pretty solder job too.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] connectors

2005-01-14 Thread Fred Seamans

You hit it squarely on the head! A PROPERLY INSTALLED CONNECTOR!
Both are good when installed correctly. It is amazing that some techs do not
know how to solder correctly and some will use any crimp tool to get the job
done in a hurry.
With one exception, a crimp connector will not last as long as a properly
installed soldered connector in off shore, salt water installations.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Mobile Duplexers

2005-01-14 Thread Al Wolfe

The C. A. P. used to use 143.90 for an input and 148.15 for an output 
for their repeaters. These were their legacy frequencies from the AM days. 
They used to have a repeater at Chanute Field on those frequencies and may 
still for all I know. I have not been involved with the C. A. P.  for thirty 
years now so they may have some other VHF frequencies by now. We used to use 
some Genave units for C. A. P. and they were very broad banded.

As far as mobile duplexers are concerned, I have built two meter mobile 
repeaters from Micors with 600 kHz. splits just by using two antennas and no 
duplexer. They worked just fine, especially if you bypass the last 
amplifiers in the transmitter and run ten or twenty watts or so.

If you are going to have a temporary repeater set up somewhere just 
stick up two antennas and try for some vertical separation. Put the receive 
antenna on top. You may have to experiment a bit with the transmit antenna 
placement. Use decent coax. This probably won't work with typical ham-grade 
equipment but I've had success using Micors. Mastr II's would probably work, 
too.

Plan "B" would be to forget about VHF and go to 440. Everything is 
smaller there. Mobile duplexers are very common for UHF.

I'd like to see the specs on what you've come up with.

A key advantage of the 2.5 MHz split that I use is that at that
spacing the G.E. RX front end has significant rejection: over 40 dB at
the TX freq., so it can work with as little at 40 dB of duplexer
rejection at the TX freq.

FWIW, I tried substituting a pair of Icom HTs in place of my VHF MVP

[Repeater-Builder] Mike - K4IJ

2005-01-14 Thread Mark A. Tomany

Sorry for the bandwidth…  Mike - K4IJ asked me for tune-up instructions for
a UHF MSR2000.  I have what he wants.  His e-mail address is bouncing, so I’
m hoping that if he’s still receiving the list, he will get in touch with me
again.

Thanks!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: WTB: GMRS Repeater

2005-01-14 Thread N9WYS

Excellent question, Fred!!  (I wish I'd have thought of it...)  If you get a
reply from off-list, can you forward me a copy???  I also have a TKR-820,
and I'm thinking about doing the exact same thing!  (I found a CAT-300 in
storage I'd like to interface to it.)

Thanks!

Has anyone interfaced an external controller to a Kenwood TKR-820?

I have one I would like to interface a  a controller to and eliminate the
internal unit.

Any information would be appreciated.

Look at the Kenwood page at www.repeater-builder.com ...
the service manual is there, as is an article by AH6LE on
doing just what you are talking about.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor PL Tx board request

2005-01-14 Thread Eric Lemmon

Gary,

Please advise the part number of the PL board you need, and/or the part
number of the exciter board it plugs onto.

73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY

Gary K2UQ wrote

Would anyone be willing to swap or sell me the correct Micor Tx PL
deck?  The one I need has a pin spacing of about 3/8 inch.  The one I
have is pin spacing of 5/32 inch and has stamped TLN5731xxx. I do not
need this one. I need the wide pin spacing Tx one.

Hi Juan,
 
Tnx for the reply. You have an email and we can 
take off line? Have not decided on a controller although I like Micro Computer 
Concepts out of Florida.

[Repeater-Builder] kenwood tkr-820 to external controller

2005-01-14 Thread skipp025


Hi Fred, 

I would also be willing to offer up some help. 
I just completed a 3 channel voting system using 
the tkr-820 repeaters. 

By the way Juan, the signaling unit pin for 
TOR and the one next to it didn't supply Tone 
Indication logic.  I had to do it another way. 
I've also ordered a supply of latest revision 
hard copy tkr-820 manuals to have around. The 
various board revisions had me pulling hair 
for a time. 

cheers,

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Mobile Duplexers

2005-01-14 Thread rrath

Jim can you give me more details, like what model # to look for. The 
only time it will be portable will be 2 times a year, for 2 one day 
events where no one repeater will get into. But setting it up on this 
one site covers the entire we need communications. Then it goes 
back to it normal site. This is a small Motorola GR 300 repeater 
mounted in a 42" tall GE cabinet. This unit puts out 15 watts - not 
high power.

Rod KC7VQR


Hi Jim, 
I really don't want to argue with you, but it can 
be done and I've done it numerous times. It all 
comes down to a number game (the specs) and a 
reasonable approach.  

I've used surplus Decibel mobile duplexer's in 
narrow split operation for years. If properly set 
up and secured, they should not detune. 

Portable two meter repeaters can work pretty well, if 
you approach the project with reasonable expectations. 

Many/most of the common "flat-pack" VHF duplexers are 
designed for wide splits.  Some combinations of the 
small & mid size Harris, Decibel, Sinclair and 
Phelps-Dodge packages can be set up or modified to 
operate narrow splits. The preformance will not be 
spectacular, but the repeater will work ok. 

cheers,
