Re: [Repeater-Builder] WTD: UHF element for URM-120/Sierra164B Wattmeter
Neil, Am i reading this correct, You are NOW willing to part with your beloved BIRD collection. When i was there you held on to it like it was your first born and not willing to sell a meter.

You will probably find that it's pretty linear... like x% off from y to z frequencies...Until I found a military version of a Termaline in a surplus store (about 1985 or so) I was using a Heath in-line VHF wattmeter and a Bird resistive load. I tested the setup with a friend's Bird Thruline and it was acceptable at 2m and about 5-10% off at 220MHz and about 10-15% off at UHF (if forget the exact percentages, but they were consistent across the ham band).And since most tuning is done for maximum or minimum, the exact numbers aren't necessary.And for those that are, you can take the number off your wattmeter, multiply it by the known fudge factor, and record the result in your logbook.Mike WA6ILQAt 05:15 PM 3/1/06, you wrote:--- Dennis Wade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: Good morning all, I am looking for a UHF element for theabove wattmeter.There were various power and specific frequencyranges made...I needone that will cover the 440 amateur band at minimum.The element thatwent to 1 Ghz would be ideal.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Racking radios and duplexers
Kris Kirby wrote: So what's the consensus opinion on how best to rack radios, duplexers and amps? I've got a 5' rack I'm putting everything into and my amps are continuous duty rated and accordingly have forced air cooling. What I'm looking at is that I have two 3RU shelves of duplexers, a 4RU amp, a 3RU power supply and then the radios themselves. I'd like to keep everything so the jumpers are as short as possible, and I don't want the repeater to overheat come summer. There are plenty of amps out there rated for continuous duty in various power levels that don't require forced air cooling. ;-) Anyway... Most installations I've seen place the power supply near the floor. I'm also a bit torn when it comes to how to space things out to prevent any interference to the recievers if at all possible. By and large, it seems that to conserve rack space, I'll have to use two radios per shelf, which means the RX and TX will be on the same shelf. I do have a small quanitity of hardline I'm looking to wire the TX side with. Sometimes common sense takes over. Where's your power at the site? In an overhead rail configuration, or coming from the floor. Will your cabinet be grounded/bonded to the ground system? Are you going to set it on the concrete or isolate it from the floor as a possible ground potential at lightning voltages? There's some practical questions about the real site that you have to answer before answering the where to put stuff in the cabinet question. Now, another question is that with 25MHz spacing, can I expect the 100W duplexers to survive in an enviroment with 150W going up on a different frequency (f+25MHz) using the same antenna? Someone else will have to answer this part - I tend to say use things at their rated power levels or not at all... but someone here may have more useful comments. So far I've been playing with this idea: Duplexers Amp Radios controller power supply But an alternative that came to mind is: power supply amp duplexers controller etc. Also don't forget depth -- many repeaters are designed to have the radios in front and the PA in the back, in the same rack-space, vertically. Our configuration in one cabinet is this, if it helps: PC sized AC UPS/Ethernet/Telephone gear on a shelf PC on a shelf Gap in front and back S-Com 7K Controller VHF Repeater w/PA mounted behind (MASTR II Station/Repeater) Gap in front, terminal barrier strip in back for various connections Controller UHF linking repeater w/PA mountd behind (MASTR II again) Monster Astron Power Supply for all of the above (We might be changing this a bit and switching to GE MASTR II power supplies if the Astron ever dies... then each repeater would have its own power source.) Duplexers are not in this cabinet, they're mounted to a shelf behind the cabinets about 2' below the ceiling. All cabling to them runs from the polyphaser panel to them and then down into the tops of the cabinets. If we can, we use good quality N-bulkhead connectors to do pass-throughs from the outside of the cabinet to inside, avoiding putting a cable through a possibly sharp-edged hole in the top of the cabinet. (Also gives a convenient test point, and we've never seen a good quality N-bulkhead passthrough connector cause us any trouble (yet... knock on wood). Cabinet is grounded/bonded to tower lightning protection system and all three cabinets are side-by-side and bolted together. Cabinets are raised off the concrete floor of the building by placing them on custom-built Trex decking material platforms. This way the old everything rises and falls together rule of lightning protection is accomplished. Please, oh great gurus, impart me with wisdom. :) No guru here, learned from others.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Racking radios and duplexers
Another thing to consider would be to mount a thermostatically controlled fan at the top of the cabinet pulling coolair in. Something in the range of 10-15in should do the trick for overheating prevention. Gravity in another good thing to keep in mind. (Usually) Heavy supply at bottom, light amp up top. Andy Relax. Yahoo!
