One of the programming ports for use with the kpt-50 programmer. If memory serves it's the ctcss/dcs program port. I always remove the eeprom from under the hatch (you have yet to open) and program the ctcss/dcs codes by placing the eeprom directly into the kpt-50 programmer. The kpt-50 has two leads one with the plug for the above mentioned port and the other a mic plug that goes in the front panel mic jack. > What quick checks can I do? Any amount made out to me...? :-) TX can be done by jumpering the proper pins on the rear molex connector (in the right order). The pins are numbered and shown in the service manual. If you have a uhf repeater the rx is probably 5Mhz the other direction in the band. If you have a vhf repeater at about 152 MHz, the receiver is probably about 5 Mhz up the band at about 157 MHz. I just did this today on a silly Tait Repeater someone gave me. The tx was at 152.3xx MHz. I set the signal generator up to 156MHz and started walking the frequency up in 10KHz steps until I found the receiver at 157.5xx If the receiver is working you need only hear the audio. > It looks like pin 8 on the molex is PTT, how is the > pin numbered?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Kenwood TKR 820
Skipp, Thanks for the response. I'd like to pick your brain on this. I havejust finished a GE MastrII Exec VHF conversion and I've been in the comm field for 30 years so I have some experience (just to let you know I'm not a novice) Yes, the cavities are external, they are a 4 can Sinclair I got a response from another guy who had the manual on his site and was just now able to download it. So now I have to read it to figure out how it should work But just to get me going I'd like to ask you the following I turned the unit on and get lights. I was not able to get any audio from it. The busy light came on when I adjusted the squelch. I'm not sure what freq it is on and since I didn't have the pinout for the mike socket I was not able to key it up and measure the freq. ( I now have the pinout and will try to transmit tomorrow) The molex on the back has no mating plug in it, according to your email it should have one to make it work or give out audio. Which pins do I jumper? I took the top cover off and saw a flat 4 pin connector flush with the top of the front panel and to the left of center, what is it? What quick checks can I do? It looks like pin 8 on the molex is PTT, how is the pin numbered? What does the controller look like and where in the radio would it be located? Would it be needed if an external ham controller was used like one from NHRC? If it has been removed would the unit still repeat?

[Repeater-Builder] Re: 4 Bay antenna
Hi Rod, Might be the Cushcraft antenna or one by a number of other people/companies selling that design (Hustler for another) some years back. The part number for the commercial four pole masts antenna is PF-156DA for the 150 MHz version and PF-457DA for the UHF version. The amateur version would probably have a part number like PF-148DA, but that's just my assumption. Radioware also made a dipole array for the vhf amateur band. I have the diagrams and hook up information for that antenna right here. If you're nice and say good things behind my back I'll send you pdf file copy of the instruction sheet. You need to email me direct with your full email address and I'll get it right out to you. I have a number of those antennas here, but they are the commercial PF-156DA versions. You'll see a number of people bad-mouth these antennas but they're really not bad for what they are. The weak spot is the consumer quality (as in not commercial) rg-58 size coax used to make up the harness. I've had one of these antennas in continual service for the last 15 plus years and it's still going strong because I put the coax harness inside some well seal insulated tubing. Why not make up a clone coax harness and replace the original with an RG-8 six coax. Yes, you can make up a harness with Tee connectors if you like, but they add more mechanical issues/hardware to the antenna, which is something I try to minimize. cheers, skipp ps: drop me a direct email if you want the instruction sheet for the antenna. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I have a 4 bay vhf antenna, with each antenna straight and not > folded.

When bringing commercial duplexers down try a trick that I use. Temporarily lengthen the cables by inserting 'right angle' adapters in each line.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Duplexer or Band pass filter
It takes a lot of horizontal separation to achieve the 90 or so dB of isolation you need for a repeater. Hundreds of feet. Vertical separation gives you a lot more isolation for a lot less distance; 50 feet might be plenty. But with only one antenna, you'll need a good 4 or 6 section duplexer. Often found on eBay, but you could buy one new for $1000 and up.

BTW if you want a rack there is in a warehouse in Central MI. has some IT stuff like patch panels and ther may be a trade to some Rotary Dial Phones 5xxx series with the brass ringers weather 1/4 mod or full mod and brand name you could have any brand stamped, ( nobody cares ATT, ITT, Kitt C. Western Electric etc.. its a die thing ) serious inquiries pse email me privately. Mike Quebec Mike wrote: Needs some advice here on which one is best to use a repeater -- MZ YAHOO!
