Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF Power

The policy of some repeater coordination councils to insist on a 100- 
mile co-channel separation for UHF (and 120 miles for the lower- 
frequency bands) regardless of the ERP seems like overkill to me.  In  
fairness, they do allow the consideration of terrain/ERP factors at  
locations below 3000 feet AMSL (and more stringent requirements for  
"very high profile" locations above the 3000-foot elevation).

In the broadcast radio industry, we only worry about avoiding any  
overlap of the 60 db protected contour with another co-channel   
station's 40 db interference contour.  Is it time to re-think the  
coordination guidelines?

Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 6mtr duplexer

Well guys,  I have read all the posts so far in this thread...

The heliax notches do workquite well, but they are most certainly not
"plug-n-play".

1) You must pay strict attention to the design criteria, maximum performance
is obtained with repeated efforts. Resulting in a refined adaptation of your
construction techniques.  Forget the silly box on the top.
  Hollow-out the center and use the outer conductor as your
housing.  At least it is consistent in dimensions.

2) Tuning is waay critical...  a MFJ antenna analyzer just doesn't get it
done.  Ask the demi-gods who worked their magic on Mount Waco.  There is
also a little bit of black magic in the works here...  you keep at it until
you stumble into the "right" mix.  Then you do your darndest to replicate
that accident!  Make friends with you local comm-shop so they will lend you
a network analyzer.  Tune the filters in place...  more on that in the next
bullet point...

3) The heliax notches are inherently unstable in a mechanical sense.  Any
small shock can eliminate your tweaking efforts.  I have dropped them on end
just an inch or two, and the notch moved a hundred hertz or so.   Now you
are on the shoulder of the notch, and make no mistake..  it is a VERY sharp
notch.   It is something like balancing an ocean liner on the head of a
pin..  that is if you truly want peak performance.  I have noticed no issues
with environmental (varying temps) effects as of yet. Cover the end with a
metallic cover...  leakage is a killer.

I have constructed several sets.  Most are in the county landfill! Thinking
I would need 4 filters in each leg...  I am now down to 3 in each leg and
very impressed with the performance.  I have not solved the mechanical
instability issue as of yet..  still looking for the perfect glass-piston
type cap to replace the "gimmick cap", and the perfect range for my pair
(51.4/51.9).  It seems to be a moving target..  or my techniques are just
not as disciplined as needed for mass duplication..  yet.  And you can
forget shipping them.

I agree with Skipp... partially..  I think the cost difference is more like
13dB better.  The line was free, as was everything except for the roll-off
components...  maybe 10 bucks there... 40 bucks for good double-shield
harness cable and connectors.

Bottom line..  50 bucks for a useable duplexer for 6m is a huge bargain!
And you learn a lot along the way. 2yrs at it, and still learning how sloppy
my work is.

Skipp and I have been trading mail on this subject for about a year now...
look closely at the design on a schematic level and I think you will see he
is correct.  Functionally there is little, if any, difference.
Implementation of the design is the bear!!

Good luck in your efforts..  and please share your findings.  I am always
looking for a better technique!!

If you take the electrical diagram of my commercial
Decibel LB Duplexer and compare it to the heliax unit,
you'll see they are the same animal.  The Decibel
Duplexer replaces the heliax with loaded cavities.
Relative to the real world they are the same, work
the same with the heliax units being -10dB or better
in price.

1-5/8" hard line is cheap to find surplus and from
ex broadcast sites.  The construction information even
works with 1-1/4 hard line.

Mike,

The manual for the Motorola S1323A Deviation Meter is 6881069A07.
Unfortunately, it is out of print- but perhaps knowing the manual part
number will make it easier to find.

It has already been mentioned but I recommend GEFlash:

The software is for Win2K and XP and does a very good job with Phoenix,

Hi Jim

I wish there was, but in the UK repeaters are very strictley
controlled. Have a look at
www.ukrepeaters.net

This is the ham repeater site but gives you some idea of what
goes on.. Different subject does the other Jim, JVPOLL
still make duplexers for sale.

OK, thanks.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] deviation meter info needed

[Bob M.]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ted (MDM Radio) has a
manual for it.

It's probably what Heathkit copied for their dev'n
meter. Basically a 25-50 MHz VFO and an IF strip with
a calibrated meter, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

If that's what it is, apply a signal and tune the VFO
to a sub-harmonic for maximum peak with the meter in a
"tune" position, then switch to read the deviation. If
there's a 2 kHz position, it might (like the Heathkit)
put a low-pass filter in the audio stage just so it
primarily reads PL.

Depending on how you tune the VFO, you will find two
signal peaks, so you can read positive or negative
deviation.

Edison is probably the company name that took over
Measurements corp; they were both out of Boonton NJ
and made a lot of stuff that Motorola sold, including
a matching signal generator.

Of course I could be 100% wrong, too.

We use the various types of hard line based on availability 
of surplus line.  Getting above 1-1/4 inch hard line is 
typical for the relm of Broadcast Feed-Line Applications. 

We use what we can get, but the larger diameter lines would 
in theory work better.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Information needed on a EF Johnson Repeater

[skipp025]

I've got a number of EF Johnson Repeater and Radio 
Service Manuals in my collection. Some I've bought 
off Ebay in the last year or two. I use these manuals 
to service customer radio systems and for future 
projects where the radios are waiting on a shelf here. 

Finding EFJ Manuals doesn't seem that hard to do. First 
check ebay for the easy answer.  Second search around 
the web. Third call EF Johnson and hope to find some 
customer service (still) ie a warm body. 

As a last ditch resourse I can supply you with some 
manual help.  If you just need to know if the setup 
is programmable or crystal controlled, it would be a 
fast tell if I could see a decent picture of the 
equipement in the rack.  I know some of the EFJ radios 
by sight... tracking the model numbers of every type 
radio I deal with would make me more crazy than I am 
now. 

Email me direct off the list with a picture and basic 
description and I'll try to help you out.

It is a "Solid State Deviation Meter" made by Edison Electronics for

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 6mtr duplexer

[Bruce Forestal]

Al,

Using 3 1/8" Heliax is approaching the proper length to diameter  
ratio for optimum Q which should provide a deeper notch and increase  
the total isolation.  It may even be enough to eliminate one cavity  
per leg.  All of the designs I've seen use the foam type, I doubt the  
air line insulator supports will provide enough mechanical stability.

The Delta-S's, both on highband and UHF, seem to be very stable at any power
level.  I've had issues with lowband Delta-S's programmed at the high end of
6m (52/53 MHz pairs) sometimes getting unstable at certain power levels.
However, even with the TPO turned down, there are still thermal issues.
You're better off with a low-power radio (or even better, putting a
low-power PA in a high-power chassis to take advantage of the bigger
heatsink).

> or advice to give?  I don't mind learning from my mistakes, but I'd

If you haven't already found it, go to
http://www.ka9fur.net/delta/delta.html for additional info beyond what is on
repeater-builder.com.  Some of it is specific to UHF, but there is a lot of
good general info there, including dissection of the EEPROM storage format.

>Secondly, more often than not I have read that people toss the

I don't know, I've never heard of anyone doing that.  The software decoder
in the Delta-S is very good.

Most definately.

I don't know, the ComSpec PL boards aren't the greatest as far as decode
performance, and the encoders have higher THD than most other designs.

While we haven't totally replaced the uP, Dave (KA9FUR) and I have come up
with some software mods to facilitate customization of radios for
non-standard uses such as locking to external frequency references (for
simulcasting) among other things.  Finding windowed (EPROM) parts (8749H) is
getting difficult though.

> As you can tell I'm loving these radios (and similarly,

They're great radios.  The Delta-S front end is very good, and is virtually
identical to the front end in GE Mastr III's.  Transmitters are extremely
clean with low phase/sideband noise.  I was told that the design criteria of
the Delta-S/SX series included the requirement that sideband noise was to be
less than current protection crystal-based transmitters (at the time, Mastr
II series), and from all indications, they have exceeded that specification.
Duplex operation on 2m seems to be comparable to the Mastr II PLL exciter,
which represents about a 22 dB reduction in noise over the standard
multiplier Mastr II exciter at 600 kHz T/R spacing.

You did? Sorry. I really wanted to sell as a set. The rest isn't worth much 
without the cans. But if I get no interest on the set, I may consider parting it 
out. BTW, stuff is in Northwest Florida.

Hi

OH how I wish I lived in the USA. In the UK we can't do any of what you say,
no links, no split tx rx infact our 70Cm band is on a secondary basis, the
military have priority and no new
70Cm rptrs have be licenced for a good few months.

Hi

I asked the question origionaly, I have only tried 1 5/8 stuff
and even though it did work it was very unreliable, so the
large diameter cable would probably be better, just the size
and weight.

Al,
I used foam..  pay close attention to the velocity factor and you should be
fine.

Split site is very common on 10m and 6m repeaters, there's no need for 
man-size duplexers then. We're using NBFM links on 70cm and 23cm for 
connecting the sites.

Repeater logic sits where the actual band receiver is. So there is a 
site with 10m or 6m receiver and a link transmitter. Link transmitter is 
keyed as it would be the normal TX of the repeater.

At the other end, link receiver and the actual band (10m or 6m) 
transmitter are slaved, and the TX keys with COS or PL decide 
information of the link receiver. This way the link path gets ID'd as it 
just relays all of the repeater traffic and ID's given out on actual band.

As both 10m and 6m acts very differently from 2m, we're looking at 
having voted or diversity enabled receivers on the receiver side. Having 
   for instance polarisation diversity, signals with deep fading 
(multipath propagation etc) can be cancelled quite well.

W1OJ is a good example of a working 10m repeater, I recall someone told 
that it has several receivers to cancel multipath fading and other 
propagation related disturbance.

Hey guys 
Name here is Bob VE1BFX just an FYI for you , before you go and put up the antenna there is a wonderful product called 'Never Sieze" I forget who makes it , but let me tell you, if you coat all of the Nuts and screws you will be able to unfasten them years later. I work for Canadian coast guard and it has bee a god send, keeps you from having to hack saw off nuts .
ohby the way teh antenna should be broad enough for your repeater

[Repeater-Builder] Re: 6mtr duplexer

[Al Wolfe]

Most of the discussion I've seen for the 6 meter Heliax duplexer has 
been centered around using 1 5/8" Heliax. Has anyone used 3 1/8" stuff? 
Would there be any advantage to using the larger size? I have some 
available.

Has anyone used the foam 1 5/8 instead of air line for a duplexer?

Thanks,
Al, K9SI

Hi Givan, I saw your name pop up here on the repeater list and thought
I'd try and contact you this way.  I have been emailing you,
unsuccessfully, to obtain the programming software and information for
the GP68 plus radios that you offered me some time back. Perhaps my
emails did not get through? Can you still help me here?

Hoping,
