Thanks .bob It started on 3/18 with message 38409 from kc4wgh Check the archives at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/messages/48509 The thread boiled down to, in my opinion, that in an AC environment, you want to use AC fans. In an environment where the system is going to run on DC (i.e. battery backup) you need to run a good LC filter on the fans as many electronic commutator fans will feed trash back on the power feed, and if there is not enough filtering the trash will get into the system audio. Personally I have an old dirty fan (electrically dirty) that I use for testing... It's a no-name 120mm size with the only identifier Made in China. I put that fan on the RX +12 power feed and see if it affects the RX audio. If it does, I fix the filtering in the RX, not the fan ! Likewise I put it on the TX +12 power feed and see if it affects the TX audio. If it does, again I fix the filtering! If the power filtering in the RX or the TX is marginal, I want to know BEFORE the new box goes up, perhaps at a site that I can't get to from first snowfall to last snowmelt (which may be anywhere from mid-march to late april).

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hyper Terminal
KA9QJG said: Thanks for the Info Charles , and Mike Thank You for the Where to get it question , I did not find it at MS Maybe Bill G is Sleeping Ha Ha Don KA9QJG If it means anything Don, I use the original terminal program that was included with Windows 3.1 (called terminal.exe) to program the DVR and controller we use on our club machine. I actually like it BETTER than HyperTerm for programming the controller. Hyperterm just has too many bells and whistles, and IMHO is geared more toward telephone use (via a modem) than to direct serial connections. Again, your mileage may vary. Terminal is included in every Win 3.1 installation, and runs fine in Windows 95, 98, Me, and 2000. I haven't tested it in Windows XP, but I suspect it should work fine. I create different profiles for each piece of hardware that I have (DVR, which requires 9600 BAUD, and Controller, which functions better at 1200) and make shortcuts on my laptop's desktop to point to the various setups. Do an internet search for terminal.exe, and you should find it. But the best way is to use a copy that comes with Windows 3.1 My $.02 Matt Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: -- New Product Announcement from Repeater Builder --
Kevin, I purchased one of your prototypes last year at Dayton. I wondered if the new model is similar or quite different from the prototypein case I need to buy one of the new models...:-)) John VE3AMZ Hi John, Circuitry wise there have been some changes implemented to better the RF and voltage stability and add a dedicated PL Tone input, however, the basic circuitry remains the same. The new board is obviously much smaller, thinner, reverse polarity protected, and includes a header. When we released the prototype, I advised that we may build a revised product; and since that time there have been folks asking about it. Also since then, a lot has happened in my life (divorce) and I simply didn't have the time and resources available to finish it. Lately, personal things have drastically improved and I'm able to concentrate on finishing many projects, this one being near the top of the list. In summary, there is nothing wrong with the unit you have. It's just not as small and pretty as the new ones will be. :) Kevin Custer Repeater Builder (the company) Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] -- New Product Announcement from Repeater Builder --
put me down as a customer Kevin Custer wrote: Hi All, You may remember the thread on audio quality a while back. One topic was a replacement module for the stock audio processing circuitry which is a major cause of limited audio bandwidth from some manufacturers and models of equipment used to build repeaters and links from. Some time ago, a prototype boards were built, sold and tested to finalize the hardware design and verify circuit performance of this new Audio Processing concept. I am happy to announce the revised edition of the Audio Processor (clipper/filter) module from Repeater Builder. We are tentatively calling it the AP-50 The new product is mostly surface mount to minimize size and allow an installation concept similar to the Com-Spec TS-64. The product can be used stand alone in existing repeater/link applications, or, available as an option for use directly with modern repeater controllers. The Arcom RC-810 is one such product that will accommodate the RB module to allow infinitely adjustable audio processing, per port. If you haven't heard about the Arcom RC-810, don't worry, you will. We are working with an American board house and hope to have available product for Dayton 2005. Details on the AP-50: Description: This is a Audio Processing Module to replace the Blob or stock clipper/filter sections in Two-Way FM radio transmitters. While this circuitry was designed for use in a repeater or repeater controller, it could be used to feed a modulator directly from a discriminator source like in cross band repeaters or links. The module has 3 controls for setting the amount of clipping (processing), the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter (bandwidth), and the amount of deviation. The module also has jumpers to 'program' the type of audio feeding the module, and what feeds the modulator. The jumpers allow either pre-emphasized or normal audio to feed the clipper, and allow either de-emphasized or normal audio output to feed the modulator; which accommodates either a FM or PM exciter to be properly modulated. The low pass filter has an elliptic response created by a switched capacitor filter to provide 'brick-wall' filtering. The cut-off frequency is set by adjusting a potentiometer. The approximate cut-off range is between 2500 and 5500 Hz to accommodate anything from 15 KHz spaced 2 meter pairs to 25 KHz spaced link or auxiliary allocations. The module is capacitively coupled with 10 uF Non Polarized capacitors on the input and output to ensure low frequency response. The module has a 5 pin header to allow either a connectorized cord for stand alone installations, or be plugged directly onto a option connector in supporting repeater controllers. The module has a dedicated PL or CTCSS input after the processor to insure proper low distortion modulation of PL tones. This input is DC coupled and can be driven directly by modern CTCSS/PL modules like the Com-Spec TS-64. Concept: The module is used to process audio feeding a FM or PM modulated transmitter. Many times the stock audio processing (clipper/filter) section of a transmitter can limit the audio bandwidth of the system. By using this module, a set-able frequency bandwidth is obtained in addition to amplitude limiting. A custom integrated circuit is used to do most of the processing, including amplitude limiting and set-able frequency filtering. The custom chip is provided voltage from an on-board regulator to ensure stable operation. A second integrated circuit op-amp is used to buffer the output of the custom chip to drive low impedance modulators directly. Specifications: Power Source +11 to +16 VDC Board is Reverse Polarity Protected LPF Cutoff Frequency - 2500 to 5500 Hz. Frequency Response Less than 50 Hz. to 90% of Fc - +/- .25 dB Typical Minimum Audio Input Level 200 mV P-P Input Impedance approximately 10 K ohms Output Impedance approximately 100 ohms Maximum Audio Output Level 8 Volts P-P LPF Rolloff -30 dB at 144% of Fc Very Low Distortion and Group Delay Features: Brick Wall Filtering Dedicated PL Tone Input Wide Frequency Response, great for Flat Audio repeaters and links, or standard ones Low Power Consumption Adjustable Clip Level (level of process), LP Filter Cut-Off (audio bandwidth), and Deviation Level (loudness) Small Size (about 1.2 X 1.8 inches) Simple to hook-up and set-up Board is reverse polarity protected Stay tuned for more information on this new exciting product from Repeater Builder.

Mike, Brent, Jack...Great feedback. The RP70U is currently on 456.825 in/451.8625 out. The modified repeater will be 445.800 in/440.800 out (if I'm lucky). The advance warnings/tips you guys provided on the duplexer, mic connectors, manual, and volume/squelch controls will surely head off a lot of trouble. An original Owner's Operating and Maintenance Manual came with the RP70U, But I have not yet compared it with what's at www.repeater- builder.com. BTW, my scanner only goes to 8.5 x 14, so if anybody with a bigger scanner cares to add anything to the Files section from my manual that's not there already let me know at vesterscott @ bellsouth.net and I'll loan it to you. Jack, is a flatpack duplexer like the small black Celwave mobile duplexers that pop up on eBay all the time? Don't believe I've heard that term before. Brent, do each of the CTN34 tone boards perform both encode and decode. IOW, if I want the same tone in and out, will a single board give me full CTCSS for any given tone? I was not able to reach a firm conclusion on that from the manual and schematics. 73, Vester N8EKA --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, vesterscott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I picked up a Standard RP70U 12W UHF/FM repeater/base station today at a local hamfest--complete with AP70 phone patch, one TN34 tone board, and the operating/maintenance manual.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Standard RP70U help? Thanks!
Yes, the repeater is capable of using two tone boards. and They can only enc and dec the same freq tone. so if it is set to 114.8hz on the rx it will tx 114.8 also..

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Want to learn more about 10m and lowband repeaters
I'll bite. I am not licensed for this part of the band so alot of my information is here say. This is a chalanging band for a repeater as the agreed upon split is only 100kHz. and it is further complicated by the fact that there are only 4 official pairs in the FM portion of the band. All of the repeaters I have heard of are all split site with 3 miles minimum between RX and TX. Usually these are assembled by using a Low band Mastr-II and a UHF and swaping the UHFs RX and with the one in the Low band chassis and vice versa to create a integrated link radio, just add NHRC controllers in the MASTR-II version. Rumors are that the Heliplexer will work if calculated to 10M, but you will need 8 sections minimum and they will be approx 10-12' long. The one commercial Low Band repeater I have seen used 2 of the approx 7 ft tall 16 dia decibal products cavitys with hybrid rings attached, but the split was about 38MHz and 42 MHz out. For antennas you should consider a single folded dipole for each site, which can be easilly constructed with 1/2or 3/4 copper water pipe. There are some plans bouncing around of an Aluminum Angle iron version but I don't care what your friend said, avoid Aluminum at all costs for anything! Just, Don't do it. CB antennas may provide decent results as well as the classic J pole.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Standard RP70U help? Thanks!
We had a RP-70U here and we converted it to Low TX and High RX 444.3 and 449.3 and yes, the stock duplexer did work lousy. But the repeater was somewhat usable. I also had a problem with the Ebay special our group aquired, which was jammed into transmit. I traced it down to a Jammed on PNP transistor in the exciter on the PTT line.

[Repeater-Builder] GE amp board identification
number on board = 327014G3 I have some boards I need help identifying they are for MVP Exec II complete boards but missing the 1 stud mounted transistor and both flange mounted transistors. They are new old stock and could be 5 or 20 watt boards (I think) with the addition of the stud mounted transistor andone flange mounted transistor. They do not have components for the second flange mounted transistor. Does anyone know what band and split these are for? I think they are UHF but not sure. Are the final transistors stillavailable ? Part numbers? Anyone have any? I would sell some for $10.00 ea. plus shipping if interested. Can send pics if interested. tom n8ies Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Standard RP70U help? Thanks!
Vester, A flatpack is another name for the mobile duplexers made by several companies. They are generally painted black and are flat. Most are notch type and some are helical resonators rather than actual cavities. They work OK in a soft RF environment, not so good at a high level site.
