[Repeater-Builder] Micor compa-station Manual
Wonder if anyone has a spare manual for the Micor Compa-station? P/N of the one I need is the 68P81025E50. THis has the alighment instrucgtions for the TLE8032B receiver and the TLE8023B Filter. Thanks N3GH George (W3BD Repeater)

They are actually called pico fuses. Do you know the rating? John -K3KR n9lv wrote: Does anyone know where I can find the pica fuse to the antenna input on the CE-6030 service monitor. I think mine has blown since I cannot get very good sensitivity from it. All help is appreciated. Mathew
[Repeater-Builder] STUCK CORES
As mentioned, for stuck cores, I usually find an allen wrench that fits and try it. A shot of silicone or teflon spray lubricant down in the coil, with some heat sometimes helps. I have found, that if it is stuck, it is stuck and the only other option may be to put a very small dab of super glue on the allen wrench and insert it into the core, when it dries, unscrew the core and replace it with a new core. If you put just a bit of silicone grease on the allen wrench before you put on the super glue, you may be able to slip the core off of the allen wrench when you get it out - otherwise the core is shot.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Some noise on a 2 meter machine, want some input
I just went through a similar nightmare with another repeater that was 1200 KHz above our repeater's input frequency. Turned out that the coax jumpers between each can in the duplexer array had deteriorated and needed to be replaced. I was dealing with an 8 can arrangement, so there were lots of jumpers to replace. Replacing those jumpers eliminated about 95 % of the problem and then the final culprit turned out to be a bad coax Tee connector that tied the receive and transmit sides of the duplexer to the antenna. I then replaced that Tee connector and the problem disappeared completely. After this, I went back and retuned the duplexer and the results were amazing! Now the system is much more sensitive than it has been in many years, and most of the scratchy noise complaints on fairly strong signals have disappeared. pat scolla, wb0egr Harford County, MD RACES Officer Harford County, MD ARES EC
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Cushman CE-6030 Help needed, blew the pica fuse, where is it
Follow up: Sorry, I thought you were looking for a source. My Cushman (different model) has the pico fuse located inside the BNC connector. The connector unscrews from the front panel and the fuse is inside. I don't know if yours is similar? 73's - John - K3KR n9lv wrote: Does anyone know where I can find the pica fuse to the antenna input on the CE-6030 service monitor.

[Repeater-Builder] Service speaker not workinng
Daniel, You need to start way before the speaker to make sure that the receiver and the audio amplifiers are working at all. I always look at the volume squelch HI pin coming from the receiver. This is audio from the discriminator that is amplified. This is found on the systems board P104 on pin 11. It is marked volume squelch hi. It is very near the audio output transformer. I use a scope at this point and if your receiver is working then you will see random noise like what you would hear with an open squelch. If you have an audio amplifier then you could hook up the input to this point and you would hear an open squelch. The audio level is about 1 volt at this point. Try this and see if your receiver is working. If you have audio at this point the you need to check to see if it is getting to Pin 13 which is the audio input to the amplifier. It comes from the wiper of pot R3 on the systems board. This pot sets the audio level into the audio amplifier. This pot is near the large 400 uf filter capacitor and near the metering socket. You also want to make sure that power is getting to the audio output transistors. Pin 20 is A- or ground in a base station and pin 15 is A+ or 13.8 volts. Let me know what you found out.

Service speaker not workinng Posted by: Daniel M LePage [EMAIL PROTECTED] dmlgnnv Date: Sun Dec 10, 2006 2:12 pm ((PST)) When I changed the shelf this reciever did have service speaker operated. The number stamped on the drawer is PL 19D4172G2G1 REV Blank. I have been trying to find the right print on the web site but I can not find it. I have tested the speaker with an audio tone and it does work from pins 11 12 of J932 but I get no audio there. The audio from the system board on pins 952 16 and 17 look like large orange and red wires going to J 931. If any one can guide me to get this to work please do so. I am still trying to get the receiver sens problem resolved but need to be able to hear the repeater locally when I am working on the receiver. 73's Dan WA1OOH Any questions?

[Repeater-Builder] Re: STUCK CORES
It's also handy to use modest air gun heat to warm the core/coil up before you try to remove it. In small core coils and transformers it's often easy to remove the form and use the other end when the core is not split. cheers, skipp As mentioned, for stuck cores, I usually find an allen wrench that fits and try it.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor compa-station Manual
I've got that exact manual and will scan the two pages and e-mail them to you. What I don't find is a photo showing the tuned components; they're present for the exciter but not for the receiver. If you have the metal shield on the receiver, I think that has the component labels on it.

[Repeater-Builder] GPS Speaker Mic (Kenwood)
No this is not a sales blab... yadda, yadda. Re: GPS Speaker Mic (Kenwood) A new commercial radio toy from Kenwood... we're playing around with a new Kenwood KMC-38gps speaker mic. The mic has all the gps stuff inside. Imagine being able to do aprs - avl position type operation by adding just the mic. Pretty cool..! Wanna story..? We put some avl/gps equipment into a customers truck and portable radio fleet. The results have been a mixed bag of trouble and fun. He's had to fire over 20% of his road crew after the first month. People sleeping in various locations which include the back lot of the local booby-bar. No one likes big brother watching but sometimes as a business owner you've got to keep more than a casual eye open. If you're into aprs or various activities (hiking, hunting and camping) where location information is more than just handy... I think the new generation of portable mics with built in gps units are going to be very popular. I'm sure MFJ and the other Radio Companies will offer similar products... if they aren't already out. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com ps: If you're into aprs... check out the tiny-trac units.
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Successfully ordered SW for MSF5000..
MoSlo works OK for video games, but it doesn't control the rate the characters are sent out or the FIFO stack in the serial chip, and I wouldn't take a chance at bricking a radio - especially a station.

[Repeater-Builder] Radio Terms
I am trying to use a programming system originated by Niles Radio Communications and the Rangr radios have two fields called: CCT (a number is required) STE (Yes or No) What are these two terms referring to and what are the functions?

CCT = carrier control timer, i.e. PTT time-out timer. IIRC, it's in multiples of 30 seconds up to and including 210 seconds. Enter a 0 for no time-out.
