Hang in there, Ben... You'll make it home no sweat. My nephew serves with AF Security Services and has been in country twice - looks like he's headed back again. You had asked previously for some RG-8 or 9913 - did you ever get it? If I have to, I'll go buy some and ship it to you. I hope you and your associates stay safe!

I used to go to Explorer Post 424 in Kenosha, about 5 miles from my home, most Monday evenings. It's too bad they had to close the buiding down for fire related problems, but I may be able to get a chance of my radio history and buy the TS-940AT I made my first HF contact on. I fell in love with that radio when I saw it and messed with all the settings, and subsequently got bitched at... those were the days... For the IRLP node, amateur radio is banned in Iraq for *security* reasons, but as from the report on today news, security is a crock. The only reliable internet connection is the one I supply for whom it needs to go to, and they have all but the very important ports blocked. So I'm kinda stuck.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola HPN-1004 A Power Suupply
Lou, The HPN1004A power supply looks to be identical to the TPN1136A power supply, which was offered as an accessory to the Maxar and Moxy mobile radios when used as base stations. The front panels of the two power supplies have the same switches, indicators, and connectors, and the ratings, cabinets, and heat sinks are the same. I have the manual for the TPN1136A power supply, which was offered in two versions. Version 1 has a TLN5274A regulator board, on which are two M9170 transistors. The chassis and heat sink contain three other transistors: Two M9244 and one M9677. Version 2 has a TLN5274B regulator board, on which are two M9642 transistors. The chassis and heat sink contain two other transistors: one M9639 and one M9807. I am providing the above information because I believe that your HPN1004A power supply may have identical innards as the TPN1136A. Let me know if either of the versions matches what is in your power supply, and I'll scan the schematic and parts list for that version and send it to you. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lou Aiken Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 1:15 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola HPN-1004 A Power Suupply I want to make a modification to one of these things.
