[Repeater-Builder] GLB / MRF-901
I have received many requests for the GLB transistor. I only have two left that are not promised. I will give them to anyone that is willing to make a donation to OMIK Scholarship Fund. The transistor is a BFW92 which is a drop-in replacement for the obsolete MRF-901. I have a PDF data sheet available to anyone requesting it. I have been told that a 2n6621 will also replace the MRF-901 but I have not tried that device. Richard D. Reese http://www.wa8dbw.ifip.com/Scholarship_Happenings.htm Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Need Kenwood TK-780 repeater controllerhookup
You guys have taken this to a whole new level. There was overclocking when my water cooled ATV experiment was conducted... but everything was one-off custom stuff. Nowhere near the variety of implementation choices one would have today. Therefore, I think I will back away very quietly and slowly from this one.. ;-) Have fun.. mike -Original Message- From: DCFluX [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 8:20 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Need Kenwood TK-780 repeater controllerhookup If you wan't to play with water cooling a radio I would recommend a few things. The bigest problem would be the water to radio interface (water block). If this was me, I would take a MASTR-II mobile, and remove the heatsink assembly. Then sand blast the paint off it. And interface a 1/2 copper water pipe by drilling a 5/8 hole through the heatsink fins, from left to right so the pipe went through the centers of all the fins. If you are a real bad-ass you use a drill bit that was one size too small and then cool the copper pipe in LN2 and heat the alumium block and press fit them. But with the precision of standard hand tools I would use a relaible product to solder the pipe to the aluminum like bernzomatics aluminum solder, but you will need a ass load of heat. Stay away from Solder-It paste, it sucks. Use regular copper solder to attach 1/2 brass nipples in the right angle variety to the pipe. Once cooled, re-paint the heatsink like nothing happened. For pumps I recommend anything by Hydor. Paticularly the 900gph L45 or 320 gph L35. they are 120V and I have had zero problems with mine. Quiet too. Convection systems never work, and you end up boiling your equipment befor the water actually moves. For radiators go for a new heater core from your local radiator shop. Grab the biggest they have and ask nicely for them to change the inlets to 1/2 or what ever size tubing you want. If you get one big enough you may not even need to bother with a fan. But a standard car fan works fine hear if you just went with a straight up radiator. For tubing go with anything that is Tygon. I have had problems with the standard Clear Flex 60 . Thick wall (1/8) resists kinks, but standard wall is eaisier to work with. Hose clamp everything, thighten the clamps tell your knucles hurt and then put an extra turn in there. I have killed a couple of mother boards due to small leaks by calling it good. Fill your system with the 2 dollar a gallon steam distilled water, you don't want any calcium floating around in there. You shouldn't need to add antifreze unless your system is going to be out doors. Antifreze decreases the heat transfer anyways. Add a stearilizer to the water to keep it from going stanky. Such as a capfull of bleach or CLR. A simple water preasure sensor can be made by attaching a magnet to a piece of cork and floating it in a cylinder that has the pumps outlet directly under the cork and pushing it up to a reed switch by the water preasure. Also dual pumps could be employed for redundency.

One of the nicer points of a water cooled PC system, is that even if the pump fails, the water will keep the CPU temperature from rising very fast, and allow the overtemp alarm more time between what's going on? and fried CPU. Maybe it's not there yet, but it seems like something to keep an eye on. They also had small, and large peltier coolers, the larger one being about 3 square. Those make me nervous though, in that if you get below the dew point, then you get condensation, which is bad. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Need a duplexer
The T-1504 works very well if clean. The notches are difficult to tune perfectly if the inside of the cavity has been exposed to moisture. I have opened up cavities and cleaned with steel wool and coated with light grease and they tune much better. I am not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but with these duplexers I have had a hard time with tuning a pair of cavities with the stock phasing lines. I seem to be getting double peaks and the peaks just won't pull together down around 443 MHz. I went and made new phasing lines out of the same type cable, but just 1/2 inch longer on all lengths. Now the peaks pull together, therefore resulting in sharper pass band and less loss. Maybe it was just mine. 73, KC4FWC --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Kevin Berlen, K9HX [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A Motorola T-1504 series is an excellent choice.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Need a duplexer
Doing some research I have found that each interconnecting jumper must be an electrical 1/4 wave or performance suffers. The jumpers attribute 6.5dB each to the isolation of the duplexer. I havn't gotten around to replacing the RG-214 jumpers on my set of 2M cavitys but it may help my performance as the original set is on 156Mhz some where. And if you can find one for cheap and circulator in place of the final RX/TX/ANT Tee helps cans with weak(70-80dB) isolation like the Wacom WP-639 and Sinclair Q2202E by providing approx an extra 20dB of isolation. I picked up a surplus EMR circulator over the weekend for $50 and already the customers have noticed much improvement. Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Help: Converting 150 MC cavities to 222 MC??
Hello group, I have been working on building a duplexer for 222 MHz from old 150 MHz cavities. I have three Decibel products cans, which look the size of regular 150 MHz cans, but have been told they are actually an old 450 MHz all pass-band duplexer. I don't know the model number but they are beige in color and look really old. They will tune very good throughout the 440-470 band, but also work good on 144-174, too. The plunge rod is nearly identical to the old Wacom 2M ham duplexers. Since it is just a pass band cavity, there are two coupling loops, one input, and one output. Using the same loops, I cut one of the rods down nearly 4 inches, then spliced with a 1 inch copper coupling and soldered together. Now the can tunes a good pass band at 222-225 MHz also. I really wanted to create a hybrid ring 3 cavity duplexer for a new 220 repeater, two cavities on RX and one for TX, band-pass, band- reject, like the Wacom deals with the rod on the side which has a plexiglass looking dielectric that slides in and out in order to determine the position of the notch. I took my existing 220 duplexer (Wacom) loops out and the reject stub also, and tried to duplicate it as closely as possible. So far the results look promising. I am using 3/8 hard drawn copper for the sleeve, and a piece of #10 wire for the inner conductor, and some vinyl tubing to slide in and out to vary the capacitance. I couldn't find any better means of making a capacitor than this, and my first question is, will this be stable in an uncontrolled environment? 90 deg in summer and 40 in winter. Second, I measured the capacitance of the Wacom stubs and get somewhere around 7 pF. I have a bunch of piston type caps that will give this value, plus or minus, but don't know exactly how to incorporate this into the hybrid ring design. I am tired of randomly trying pieces of copper straps for different lengths of coupling loops and wonder if anyone has a proper way to determine coupling loop lengths? Third, the repeater will not be operating in a high RF environment. Would it be more practical to use each can as a notch only (reject) cavity? If so, how in the world do you make coupling loops to work for band reject only? I have tried taking one loop, running it down the cavity for several inches, then directly back up and to ground again. Then taking a tee connector and going across it, but with the tracking generator, my notch is only like 6 dB deep which obviously won't work. Any suggestions or links you can think of to help me build a 220 duplexer out of the parts I have mentioned above? I have a decent shop and can do light precision machine work.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB 4062 Duplexer repair
If they are piston trimmers, grab a ICOM for a GE MASTR-II, as long as it is not a low band version. This is a cheap and readily avalible source. But you may have to solder the trimmer in place as I don't think the outer ring on the capacitor is threaded.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Help: Converting 150 MC cavities to 222 MC??
The phenomenon you are seeing is because the 1/4 wave size at VHF is 3/4 wave at UHF. I believe the hybrid duplexer design uses 2 or 4 notch only cavities. If you haven't drilled holes in the side 2 of the band pass cavitiys I believe they can be converted to notch only by simply removing the 2nd coupling loop and puting a metal slug in to cover the hole. Then I would use the 3rd cavity in a Pass/Reject configuration. Piston trimmers should work fine on the coupling loop. Should be more tempreture stable than Vynal. I believe WACOM uses Delrin. You may be able to get this or Teflon rod from small parts inc if you wish to take the same approch and build stubs.

[Repeater-Builder] Wow.
Just got back from retuning the cans at the 146.850 machine in muncie. Very interesting. The machine has been pretty limited in range for years, and I expected that the cans would be off, but never how FAR they were off.. If the pass and notch weren't so flat and ragged, I would have thought they were tuned for a different pair! The notch on the receive, if I can believe my eyes, was on the wrong side of the pass!I had previosly replaced the cables between the radios and the cans, but I didn't expect it to make that large a difference. Still, I hadn't measured the cans before I started, so maybe they were just that bad or nearly so to start with... I don't have a service monitor, my Tek 7L14 and tracking generator is not all that portable, but I didn't buy it for portability. They are now dialed in pretty well, at least as well as I can do with my tracking generator and analyzer. I didn't hear any desense when I enabled the transmitter, so I guess that will do for now. All the cables are new, half-wave runs of LMR-400. I have a local source now for FSJ1-50, and the appropriate connectors, so I'll be going up again when those are in hand. It's a nice feeling to take an old neglected machine, and get it back in shape again. Given the site and antenna, I'd say we are doing pretty well, judging by signal reports and some drive tests tonight. :) Yahoo!
