 Sorry these parts from the Desk-top repeater weren't the ones you need.
 
 I don't know if the R in TK-722R designated repeater, or if every
 TK-722 mobile has the R designator.  The one I have is RF Deck only;
 no front panel.  The whole thing may have been a Franken-Radio made

Let me see if I can straithen out some of this.
There is no such thing as a TKR-620. The TKB-620 is a low band base 
station of the same type as the TKB-720 and 820.
The 'R' in TKR indicated repeater. 'B' indicates base station. A base 
cannot be converted into a repeater. The Repeater adds a second VCO and 
synthesizer to allow full duplex.
The first number indicates band. A TK-6xx is low band, a TK-7xx is high 
band, a TK-8xx is UHF, a TK-9x0 is 800 Mhz, and a TK-9x1 is 900 Mhz. 
This applies to mobiles.
The newest commercial radios from Kenwood have four numbers instead of 
three, but still follow the same basic format.
The TK-722 is a trunk-mount version of the TK-720 *mobile*. Parts from 
it could possibly be used to repair a TKB-720 base, and maybe a few can 
used in TKR-720 as well.
I don't really think the 'R' on the end of TK-722R means much of anything.
One of our other techs here just installed a TK-802R in a vehicle 
yesterday. Just a trunk mount TK-801...
Finding a place to mount everything in a Chevy Trailblazer was fun though...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Tk-722 parts

2006-01-27 Thread DCFluX

I would think that the front panel board from any radio in the TKR-x20 or TKB-x20 series can be swaped in there. You should be able to swap between a TKR-820 and a TKR-720 just fine.

Then just change out the 8 pin EEProm from one into the other for your
channels, there also is some code here which tells the programmer what
radio it is. Or you can be 'leet and put in a socket as well so you can
brute force program the EEProm without the KPT-50 or software.

There are shorting pins on the front panels control chip to determine
if the board is for a base or repeater so jump it accordingly if you
get a base stations board and remove the extra components you don't
need like the channel knob. Refer to the TKR-720 schematic that is
bouncing around the net for information about the front panel board.

[Repeater-Builder] Moto Reed question

The question came up about reed compatibility. I have never had a 
problem using the KLN6209 interchangably with the TLN6709 in lots of 
different radios, from HT220's to Mitrek's and Maxar-80's.

Is there really a difference?
I know they can't be used in a Micor *decoder*, but they both have 
worked fine in the encode boards.

  Mule on the attack.



 These pics came from a guy in AZ. Yes, the mule
 killed the mountain lion.
 The lion had been stalking them for the better part
 of the morning, on the
 way out to a hunt. They were pretty sure it was
 after one of the dogs.  The
 cat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its
 rider and went into
 attack (defense) mode, the horses scattered and
 shots were fired but no one
 was sure if they hit the cat or not.
 Unfortunately, it wasn't until it was
 almost over that one of the guys started snapping
 pics.  The mule finally
 stomped the cougar to death after biting and
 throwing it around like a rag
 doll.  The dogs wouldn't even come close until the
 mule settled down.
  The cat was still alive here and trying to fight
 back


 The mule stomped the cat then pinned it to the
 ground and bit the heck

 out of the dead cat several more times.


 The cat was pretty much dead by now then mule picked
 up the cat again
 whipped it

 into the air again then stomped the dead cat again
 for good measure!


 Note the dog audience


 Gives new meaning to the term BAD ASSE

 And don't call me a JackAss.

[Repeater-Builder] Western Radio Repeater Alignment

2006-01-27 Thread ve7ltd

I have looked through the archives for as long as I can press Search 
More before I go insane

I have been tasked with recrystalizing a WR series 90 UHF repeater. 
For those that dont know WR, they are the father of Glenayre 
equipment.

I am looking for a manual to tune these modules, but I cant find one 
anywhere. The funny thing is WR used to be made in Vancouver BC, my 
home town. There are a couple of WR repeaters on the air here, but 
nobody seems to have the UHF module info.

If the radios are similar to the WR 1454 mobiles for tuning, then I 
may be okay, but I doubt they are.

The modules ( I think ) are the 9R90 receiver and 9T90B4 transmitter.

Does anybody use these things? I have heard talk of some people with 
nice WR/Glenayre amplifers, does anyone have info on the modules?

Now I know why I like MASTR II equipment :)

works FB.  I am sure the radius will work well for this task.  You may need
to protect the link radio from the 440 repeater transmitter and vice versa

antenna, I have used a cross band coupler (one of the $25 cheapies) and run
both the 2m repeater PLUS the 440 link on the 2M antenna - just a thought.

2006-01-27 Thread TGundo 2003

IL Is doing 440-442 now as well. The problem IL has, and IN I imagine, is that Michigan will not recoginize any new coordinations in the 440-442 band, and instaead of providing useful data to IL when a request is submitted for new coord., like MI had a link on that freq, they just say NO (or don't even respond from whatI have heard)with no reason explained other than they will not recoginize a repeater coordinated there because it does not fit the bandplan. I fell victom to that with my first pair. We are close enough in northern IL that it is important to know what is coordinated in Mighigan.From what I hear MI dosen't play well with others so IL and some other states are ignoring them now and just dealing with the problems after the fact. In my opinion thats BS, but such is life. Not to mention the extra $100 I had to spend to re-crystal because michigan could't just say "no, we have a link there" instead of the blanket No. I think theres a commercial on TV

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Woohoo! The rocks are IN!

2006-01-27 Thread Jeff DePolo


The coordinator in MI shouldn't object to a coordination from an adjacent
council just because their bandplans aren't identical.  For better or worse,
there isn't a universal bandplan that satisfies the entire amateur community
nation-wide.

If there is nothing coordinated in MI that is going to be adversely affected
by the neighboring coordinator's proposed operation, then they have no
reason to object.  If they do have something that would be affected (be it
of the same operation type or otherwise), then that's a different story.

That's the way we work here on the east coast among councils.

And yes, we have repeaters in the 440-442/445-447 range.  Our aux link
subbands are all below 440.

2006-01-27 Thread mch

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't MI the state with the 20 kHz 146-148
MHz bandplan that is different from EVERYONE surrounding them? Are you
objecting to all their 2M proposals that doesn't fall on a pair that is
within your bandplan?

I echo Jeff's comments - if there is no interference potential, there is
no valid objection. OH issues 12.5 kHz split repeaters. AFAIK, nobody
around them does, but they are not objected to (unless there are links
on those frequencies that would be subject to interference).

 signal breaks down and crackles and after a while it comes back clear

[Repeater-Builder] Wacom WP687 Specs, Cabling, Tuning

2006-01-27 Thread Bob M.

Does anyone have specs, cable lengths, and tuning
procedures for a Wacom 850-950 MHz 4-can Bp/Br
duplexer? I have page 2 of a PDF document that only
has specs and performance curves. Telewave
cross-references it to their TTPD-8644, but that
doesn't seem to be available in as many offset/band
combinations as the Wacom unit was. The Telewave units
seem to be able to handle more power, too.

I've written to Telewave (they own Wacom now) and am
still waiting for info from them. Usually they're very
helpful.

Thanks.

against is the mobile diplexers seem to fade in and out of tune .On a

to clean up the very weak signals and it works well but i have come 
across desense fading in and out on a signal and i was hoping someone 
might have had the same thing happened to them .thanks ian

 pretty neat pictures...

  Mule on the attack.

 These pics came from a guy in AZ. Yes, the mule
 killed the mountain lion.
 The lion had been stalking them for the better part
 of the morning, on the
 way out to a hunt. They were pretty sure it was
 after one of the dogs.  The
 cat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its
 rider and went into
 attack (defense) mode, the horses scattered and
 shots were fired but no one
 was sure if they hit the cat or not.
 Unfortunately, it wasn't until it was
 almost over that one of the guys started snapping
 pics.  The mule finally
 stomped the cougar to death after biting and
 throwing it around like a rag
 doll.  The dogs wouldn't even come close until the
 mule settled down.
  The cat was still alive here and trying to fight
 back

 The mule stomped the cat then pinned it to the
 ground and bit the heck

 out of the dead cat several more times.

 The cat was pretty much dead by now then mule picked
 up the cat again
 whipped it

 into the air again then stomped the dead cat again
 for good measure!

 Note the dog audience

 Gives new meaning to the term BAD ASSE

 And don't call me a JackAss.

[Repeater-Builder] Woohoo! The rocks are IN! Completely Different System Part II

2006-01-27 Thread Paul Finch

Hello,

I just finished the first conversion to a repeater using the ICS controllers
I recently purchased.  The repeater is now on 442.150 TX and the receiver is
447.150 with CTCSS of 110.9 Hz.

Interesting little board, it works well and is VERY cost effective.  While
this board is obviously built for Motorola's and GE's it fit really well
into the Johnson 559.  The only problem I had was getting the levels down
low enough where it would not overdrive the Johnson Microphone circuit.  So
far I have had to make these mods to every controller I have installed in
the Johnson equipment.  The Johnson Mic circuit takes very little audio to
drive it.

The mod consists of taking both the RX input and TX output audio amplifier
IC's out of circuit, they are in the same package.  It's fairly easy mod to
do, just remove the IC and bend the correct leads out enough so they don't
make contact in the IC socket then jumper the board on the bottom so the
audio is passed through as a passive circuit.

The receive audio is taken off of the high side of the volume control which
is more than enough to drive the transmit microphone circuit.  The only down
side is the output level is now a series control and does not have full
control of the transmitted audio but it does work well working the level
between the RX level pot and the TX level pot.

For around 40 bucks it's not a bad little controller!

Now on to the 220 repeater, GE 800 to 900 MHz mod and the 6 and 10 meter
repeaters.  Hey, I don't smoke, drink or gamble, what else am I to do on
these warm winter nights?  By the way, while doing the repeaters I am also
working on a 1976 Fiat to get it back on the road.

Paul

So I guess they are accepting objections for the same reason? (reference
my last post about their bandplan that differs from everyone else's
around them)

The standard repeater offset is 1.6 MHz for 222-225 MHz and 5.0 MHz  
for 420-450 MHz.

[Repeater-Builder] RFS 6MC450S DIPLEXER

2006-01-27 Thread Ian

Imay have stubbled across the problem .the connectors on the test cable 
between the diplexer and the service monitor were hand tight so i tried 
tightning them and it seems to have cleared the desense.I will have to 
check more on this on my other repeater sites as the heliax fittings  
are only hand tight onto the diplexer and the antenna bases.thanks ian

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Offsets and Vanity

Ken -

It was a toss-up between W2ARK and N2ARK but I thought some might  
think I was into drug enforcement and would toss my van looking for  
the evidence locker.

I plan to set up itinerant repeaters in the van on 2-meters and on  
GMRS using a Kenwood TKR 750 and a TKR 850.  They'll be simplex  
repeaters because of coordination problems on 2-meters and the  
absence of 467 MHz GMRS frequencies on the bubble-pack handhelds.   
Any suggestions?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Offsets and Vanity

Ken -

Good question!  I guess my thinking was that, if I were using the  
repeaters in connection with critical incident response, having the  
flexibility of switching onto any of the 16 channels pre-programmed  
with different CTCSS tones would give me more flexibility in  
different areas of the state.  Maybe that's overkill?  What model  
would you suggest?
