[Repeater-Builder] Re: 6mtr duplexer

[n3dab]

Final post:  Depending on size (dia.) and length you might consider 
getting sheet copper of the appropriate thickness and having a 
sheetmetal fabrication shop cut it and roll it to your dimensions.  
They could also form a lap seam or lock seam where the 2 edges meet  
and cut your end plates too.  You might also want to consider 
aluminum, problably cheaper, if you have access to a TIG or heliarc 
welder.  Try a local or area trade school and talk to the welding 
instructor.  They might build what you want just for the student 
practice.

There is also 6 and 3/8" heliax. I know this for sure as I saw
a 15-20 foot length hiding in the grass behind a hilltop transmitter
building a year or two ago.

  Dunno how well it would work for a duplexer.

Forgot to mention: check with any large plumbing contracors  or at 
large building construction sites where they might be using large 
dia. copper pipe for supply or waste piping. If you find any sites 
where they are using what your looking for they may let you have some 
scrap pieces just for hauling it off.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?

[Eric Lemmon]

Rick,

Offhand, it looks like a 60 watt, intermittent duty base station.  If it
were a repeater station, there should be shield plates covering the
receiver.  It might also be a paging station.

Look for any numbers stamped in black ink along the edges of the backplane
and on the power supply or on any sheet metal parts.  Any string of three
letters and four digits, usually starting with "T", are important.  Also
look for any tag or label with a number of the form C53RTB3106A (the letters
and numbers may be different) which is the model number.  Some overall
photos of the front and back will help a lot.

73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?

[N9WYS]

You're looking at the backplane...  This looks like a PURC station, if I'm
not mistaken.  We [Will County (IL) EMA] just put one on of these the air
for relay of EMWIN data, operating on 163.325... in cooperation with the NWS
Chicago, of course.  

It **should** be able to be heard around the greater Chicago Metro area.
We're running about 60W now - the PA is rated for 110W.  (It originally had
a 325W tube PA, but the county's radio tech didn't want to have to "worry"
about tubes...  I exchanged it with another list reader for the 110W PA...
:-)  BTW - Thanks Matt, it's working great!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] 6mtr duplexer

Hey Dick,
I can't say that I swear by them...  but the price certainly is right.  And
the performance isn't bad if you are judicious in construction.  Like I said
earlier...  50 bucks for a 6m duplexer is a HUGE bargain..  If I had my
druthers, I would use Wacom cans.  But I already have a second mortgage
...

Did anyone investigate Sam's website.  In my earlier post there was a link
to my page...  and my page has a link to Sam Kennedy's website.  He built a
set of helical filters..

I would be curious if anyone else has tried this approach.  And what the
results were...

Thanks for the reply.  The 5 position rotary switch is in the lower

reference to reverse readings.  If and when you have the oportunity 
to pull your TEK manuals out and review them I would really 
appreciate knowing what you find out, and possibly getting a copy of 
the manual from you for my files and reference (hard copy thru snail 
mail, email, fax, whatever is convenient for you).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Was molex connectors, now casual business...

[Kevin Custer]

All,

There is nothing in the "Rules of the List" that says you cannot conduct 
business.  With that being said, please use common sense.
I nor anyone responsible for this lists existence is responsible for any 
Deals gone Bad...
Deal at your own risk.

I wish folks that have new products would 'casually mention' things like 
this occasionally.  I'm certainly not opposed to Link Comm, Arcom, ICS, 
S-COM, or even Skipp  mentioning that they have something new (or 
even old for that matter) available for us Repeater Builders

Hi
can anyone recommend a cheapish 6mtr duplexer, not a home
made heliax one. Tx freq is 50.750 Rx 51.250
I did play with a heliax one and it was a lot of trouble, going off tune, 
causing desense etc,etc. Big problem is Iam in the UK
and prices are very expensive, around 900 UK pounds.


Thanks

[Coy Hilton]

Here is a tid bit of info if you don't want to buy the expensive 
x2212s you can use 2764 or 27128 eproms that is what I have been using 
to play with the two that I have. I use a standard Eprom burner. I use 
Dave Kaars program to create the file then I take the HEX text file 
and append a "F" to each nibble to create a 8 bit word then run it 
through a HEX to BIN conversion program. I load it up with my EPROM 
burner and blast away. I use a 18 pin wire wrap socket with a 24 pin 
sockey mounted on top to wire out the pins for the 2764 or 27128s.

I'm working on using a DS1225 NV-SRAM for program ability inside the 
radio.

 When I can get a manual I'm going to look into Duplexing the thing.

Have Fun

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola TEK-5E test set, slightly OTT

[n . mckie]

  I have a couple of the earlier TEK-5 metering panels ... when 
 the Micor test modification is installed, there is, I believe, a 
 five position rotary switch in place of the 0-10 / 0-20 VDC meter
 on the lower left hand corner of the earlier panel. 
  
  You might try different positions of this switch to obtain the 
 meter polarity reversal you need. 

  BTW, I haven't studied either of my TEK-5 metering panels or the
 associated manuals to determine a correct answer for your question. 

  Batteries not included / your mileage may vary / smoke test to be 
 performed after the 11 o'clock news. 

  Hope this helps, 

  Neil - WA6KLA

[Repeater-Builder] Motorola TEK-5E test set, slightly OTT

[n3dab]

Greetings to the group,

I was trying to tune some Mitrek rcvr's. using the service manual 
procedure and a TEK-5E test set ( big box with 8 meters on it).  The 
Mitrek manual says to set meters 1 and 2 to "reverse" for some of the 
tuning steps.  Now my problem, there is NO "reverse" switch on this 
test set, even though the manual says it is one that can be used for 
Mitreks.  I was used the "C" setting an the selector switch, should I 
have used the "A" setting instead ?  The manual implies that you flip 
a "forward /reverse" switch on the test set.

My question is simple.  What is the simplest to provide the reverse 
meter readings for meters 1 & 2 in this peice of gear. drill the box 
and install a series of DpDT swicths for each of the required meters or 
are there any other solutions out there.

TIA for any helpful info.

Doug N3DAB

[Repeater-Builder] Kenwood TKR/TKB 720/820 rear panel molex connectors.

[skipp025]

Kenwood TKR/TKB 720/820 rear panel molex connectors. 

Hi John, 

Please Email me direct for various prices and availability. 
I push the nice factor here in the group by blabing as much 
as I do so I'm sure people wouldn't like me doing regular 
business through the group. . 

The Molex connectors I like buy are from Farnell Europe (or 
equivalent) are most often real deal Molex parts, not the 
typical after-market low cost items where the cheapo pins 
tend to oxide up (in any moist location )pretty fast. I 
also like to coat the pins in ProGold G5 after assembly. 

If you only need a few pins, I could put some in an envelope 
and send them out. Buy me a cup of Java or a braut some 
day at Dayton.    which I already have the airplane 
tickets for. 

I was doing fine thinking just about a Dayton cup of 
famous flea market coffee until Kevin mentioned the 
brauts. Now all I can think about is brauts. 

thanks kevin... 

cheers,
skipp

A lot of anti-spam programs have a tendency to put certain email 
addresses in a 'blacklist'. If someone at one point spoofed your email 
to post some spam, it could have put your own email into the blacklist.
In fact, a few actually default that your own email is in a blacklist. 
It assumes that you wouldn't send an email to yourself, so any emails 
with your own address on them must be spoofed spam.

Check you anti-spam, virus, and firewall programs.

Nothing really 'wrong' ~ It's your G-Mail being helpful...

As I understand it ~ it sees your 'sent' and the 'received' as

That happens to me on occasion too, but not all the
time. Some messages don't appear in my Yahoo in-box
for up to two days, which is annoying when something
is time-sensitive. I'm using Yahoo's internet-based
e-mail page, too. Seems like it should be able to
route messages to the proper destinations all the
time.

Perhaps the mail system you use to receive messages
has Yahoo blocked for some reason. A lot of ISPs
routinely block entire domain names due to a few
episodes of spamming or relaying.

Make sure your e-mail address is absolutely correct in
your account information.

[Repeater-Builder] Yahoo Groups Question for Messages to Repeater Builder - OT

[Kevin & Natalia Mitchell]

Hi Guys,
 
Sorry for the bandwidth, but I have a small problem when sending messages 
to the group. It does happen on the other groups I belong to.
I used to be able to see any message I sent to the group, however other the 
past 6 months when I send a message, I do not get a forward message from the 
server. It was nice to see it come back, as it told me the message made it to 
the group.
Like this message, I will not see that it has been received unless I go 
into the yahoogroups web-page for Repeater Builder.
 
Would anyone have any ideas what may be wrong, I have checked my setup for 
yahoo, and can not see anything to cause this problem.
 
Regards and Thanks
 
Kevin.

What actually forbids to use split site and a 1.2GHz or upper microwave 
links? I can't find reference about strictly forbidding links or split 
sites. Internet linkin seems to be a hot potato at OfCom's website.

I'm ex M1AAJ and I truly recall that ham radio was really painful to
