[Repeater-Builder] Re: MTR2000 UHF Service manual
I agree with Eric, almost sounds like your 1K (or PL/DPL tone) is on and affecting the bandpass of the RX. Also check to make sure unit is not programmed for narrow band operation. Would also confirm what version of software repeater is running, could have an old version with known bugs. Have 50 units on the air and never heard of that issue. Ebay ham swap items often have odd issues, saw a MTR for sale, advertised as a 420-470 unit, on 440 ham channels, but looked like a high power 450-470 unit, contacted seller with my questions and he explained that unit would only do 60 watts so it must be a full band unit doing more than the rated 40 watts.Seller didn't think it was necessary to change his listing.Unit sold for a very high price and had quite a few bidders, hopefully buyer knew what he was getting. Factory service is running about $850.00 per module, and about $1450.00 for a complete repeater.We have repaired a few power supplies, but rest of unit is factory only service.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Shutting Down Battery Back up
Scott, You are of course correct about hooking the PA directly to the battery, there being no reason to disconnect it. There are undoubtedly many good reasons to consider a more sophisticated disconnect method than the simple relay circuit described when the ulimate in power saving is needed. However, I wonder what percentage of the folks on this list have the technical acumen to design a circuit like this, let alone trying to gather all the parts for it. The cutout circuit of the solar charge controller you mention does look interesting and the kit for $55 might easily be adaptable to be used in a repeater disconnect application. However, I still feel that the extremely simple relay circuit I described will do the job as it has for me in several applications for many years. With only three or four parts there is very little to fail. When the box it up on the hill I don't want to have to run up there every time there is a nearby lightning strike. The 100 ma. figure is typical of some of the Rat Shack relays. There are many that pull much less current available. Al, K9SI Re: Shutting Down Battery Back up Posted by: Scott Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] scottn3xcc Date: Tue Oct 21, 2008 8:34 am ((PDT)) If you are concerned about your batteries lasting as long as possible when running on backup, I would NOT use a relay. Even at 100ma of current draw, that's a LOT of current in a backup / solar situation. Since the RF PA only draws current when in transmit, (Class 'C') you can hook it directly to the battery all the time when line voltage is not present. This can be done easily with normally closed contacts on a relay that is fed from the AC line. Have a look at the cutout circuitry of this solar charge controller: http://www.solorb.com/elect/solarcirc/spc3/ They use a voltage comparator to do the switching. I would think a circuit could be designed that simply used a 10V zener diode and a transistor to feed the power FET. Probably until you would go through all of that, you could have the comparator circuit built and ready to go. The moral of the story is that a comparator and power FET switch would draw FAR less current than using a relay coil. You could also set the comparator EXACTLY where you want the circuit to turn off. Be sure that the hysteresis resistor is a small enough value so that when the circuit cuts out with the transmitter active, it won't turn back on when the battery voltage recovers. Of course, this could be tailored to taste.

The battery goes to one side of the N. O. contact and the load (repeater?), power supply, and relay coil to the other N. O. contact. The other side of the coil goes to ground via a resistor. The resistor value is determined empirically and should be selected so that the relay will drop out at about ten volts or whatever you decide is the minimum useful voltage. Use a variable DC supply to determine the proper resistance value. You should be able to find a 12 volt relay that needs less than 100 ma. through the coil. An appropriate resistance might be 22 or 27 ohms for this relay. A 1000 MFD cap should be in parallel with the resistor so that when power is restored from the power supply, full voltage is applied to the relay coil for a time to energize it. The resistor also lowers the power used by the relay to a degree. The ubiquitous chatter diode across the relay coil is a good idea as well.

[Repeater-Builder] UHF repeater amp wanted
Hi guys, Our club is looking for a small repeater amp (50 watts max) for our UHF machine. Right now its putting out a whopping 6 watts - we did a test with a 25 watt strip off a TAD-450 commercial rig and the listening station reported a significant gain. The signal went from 1 s unit on his rig to 8 s-units. I am wondering if any of the GE or Motorola final strips are good enough to handle the duty cycle. The little TAD unit I tried briefly worked, but I'm sure would burn out in short order. You can contact me off list at va2ir at securenet dot net Thanks Ian VA2IR VE2RMP Repeater Group

Cool - I will separate the PA from the radio and see if I can get it going. Someone did post the various functions of the wires that go to the main board. The repeater is in a small radio shack (good name for a store, no?) in the woods - no heat at all so the winter should not pose any problems for cooling. I can get a couple of good 120V fans to cool the heat sink.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Shutting Down Battery Back up
There are single coil and two coil relays that us a mechanism to accomplish a latching function. Any full-line relay catalog will show them. I've seen the one-coil version called an impulse relay, a rotary relay, a latching relay and a few other choice names when the mechanism gets dirty and doesn't work.

Al, K9SI Re: Shutting Down Battery Back up Posted by: Scott Zimmerman mailto:n3xcc%40repeater-builder.com[EMAIL PROTECTED] scottn3xcc Date: Tue Oct 21, 2008 8:34 am ((PDT)) If you are concerned about your batteries lasting as long as possible when running on backup, I would NOT use a relay. Even at 100ma of current draw, that's a LOT of current in a backup / solar situation. Since the RF PA only draws current when in transmit, (Class 'C') you can hook it directly to the battery all the time when line voltage is not present. This can be done easily with normally closed contacts on a relay that is fed from the AC line. Have a look at the cutout circuitry of this solar charge controller: http://www.solorb.com/elect/solarcirc/spc3/http://www.solorb.com/elect/solarcirc/spc3/ They use a voltage comparator to do the switching. I would think a circuit could be designed that simply used a 10V zener diode and a transistor to feed the power FET. Probably until you would go through all of that, you could have the comparator circuit built and ready to go. The moral of the story is that a comparator and power FET switch would draw FAR less current than using a relay coil. You could also set the comparator EXACTLY where you want the circuit to turn off. Be sure that the hysteresis resistor is a small enough value so that when the circuit cuts out with the transmitter active, it won't turn back on when the battery voltage recovers. Of course, this could be tailored to taste.

The battery goes to one side of the N. O. contact and the load (repeater?), power supply, and relay coil to the other N. O. contact. The other side of the coil goes to ground via a resistor. The resistor value is determined empirically and should be selected so that the relay will drop out at about ten volts or whatever you decide is the minimum useful voltage. Use a variable DC supply to determine the proper resistance value. You should be able to find a 12 volt relay that needs less than 100 ma. through the coil. An appropriate resistance might be 22 or 27 ohms for this relay. A 1000 MFD cap should be in parallel with the resistor so that when power is restored from the power supply, full voltage is applied to the relay coil for a time to energize it. The resistor also lowers the power used by the relay to a degree. The ubiquitous chatter diode across the relay coil is a good idea as well. I have used this method for several applications at

However, I wonder what percentage of the folks on this list have the technical acumen to design a circuit like this, let alone trying to gather all the parts for it. Just buy a LVD module (or a solar charge controller module that has LVD built in). Or build the one from the link that was posted. Or dig through the QST back issues. They had an article on one and a parts kit was available. The cutout circuit of the solar charge controller you mention does look interesting and the kit for $55 might easily be adaptable to be used in a repeater disconnect application. No might easily be adaptable about it. Just hook the Astron to the solar panel input, the repeater system (less PA deck) to the load terminals and the battery to the battery terminals. Adjust the Astron to the proper float voltage to minimize the heat generation in the charge controller section.. However, I still feel that the extremely simple relay circuit I described will do the job as it has for me in several applications for many years. With only three or four parts there is very little to fail. When the box it up on the hill I don't want to have to run up there every time there is a nearby lightning strike. Most of the solar equipment that I've seen has been designed for that situation. Sunny states like Texas and Florida that get lots of lightning also have lots of solar installations and the solar equipment manufacturers wouldn't be in business if they didn't offer a product that would stand up to a distant strike. . And you can monitor the status of the unit remotely so if it glitches you know it. There are points in the circuit you can tap and feed to digital inputs on the repeater controller. For example, the courtesy beep can change from a simple beep to a morse B when you are on battery. The 100 ma. figure is typical of some of the Rat Shack relays. There are many that pull much less current available. But can they handle 10a of DC current? I've seen relays that will handle 10a of AC but only 2a of DC, others that are rated at 10a AC or DC. I've found that, in general, the higher the DC contact current the larger the coil. People have opinions, and I respect yours. Simple and elegant is good, but it has to meet the requirements. And minimizing the 24x7 energy drain from the battery when the power is off is primary. My opinion is that once the AC power is off I'd rather NOT waste the available battery charge feeding as much energy to the LVD relay coil as I do the receiver and the controller combined (or depending on the relay coil, as much as twice that). Power outages can last minutes or they can last weeks. Or, as some areas of Louisiana learned after Katrina, months. Al, K9SI Mike WA6ILQ

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola TLD-1100 Wanted,please help if you can.
To possibly broaden your options, this might help. The original IMTS dial control head was designed by Secode in San Francisco to phone company specs. The control heads and cables will plug directly in to any manufacturer's IMTS RF drawer. Later versions did have some variations on the control head, appearance wise, but, electrically, they still were direct plug in to all of the units. Otherwise, I can't help; I threw out the last one I had, a GE Mastr Pro, a couple of years ago. Seems to me I read some posts about one of those not too long ago on one of these sites.

If the Z48B uses the same scheme that the Z38A used, I came up with a method to get into it.

Don't have a TPN-1106 yet but will be looking for one if I do go that route. PA is 100watt cont. Have a TPN-1100B right now.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Power Supply or Astron Supply?
Robert, My vote is for the Motorola TPN1106. Besides having the appropriate regulators and cable harness, it is capable of operating continuously at full load, which the Astron RM-50 cannot do. The Motorola is marginally more efficient, 63% versus 59%. What is important is that the TPN1106 with the C29 Battery Protection and Alarm Kit includes on-air alarm tone and low-voltage disconnect, which the Astron lacks. I believe that the Micor TPN1106 represents the high-water mark in heavy-duty station power supply design, while the Astron is designed to meet a profit target and is a lightweight contender by comparison.

[Repeater-Builder] N connector parts?
Does anyone anywhere sell just the male pin and female pin for N connectors? I have many good cases but because of arching I can't use the pins. Randy W4CPT
RE: [Repeater-Builder] going rate for GE MASTER II MOBILES
These are great to use with an amplifier where you can back the 45 watts down and keep the unit cool. Scott, contact me with a price if you would please.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] N connector parts?
Randy, The center contacts for N connectors are not standardized, but are unique to each manufacturer. Although the pin and socket dimensions and mating surfaces must meet MIL-Spec drawing specifications in order to maintain constant impedance when mated with other maker's products, the location of positioning ribs and crimp surfaces vary among manufacturers. Some manufacturers, like Amphenol, Kings, Delta, and RF Industries, do offer the contacts and ferrules separately to OEMs, but these items are often not listed in the end-user catalogs. Contact the manufacturer of your connectors for such parts. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Brumback Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 7:11 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] N connector parts?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] N connector parts?
Many thanks to Michael, Eric, and Steve. I didn't know the internal pins varied that much but I will definitely watch the dimensions. My cases are all Amphenol. I will check out the rf connectors site as well. Thanks again.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Service Info. for Mot. Alert Monitor RX
I think I saw one of those in the garage, last time I went diggin for manuals. Will have to make another trip out there and see if I can find it.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor Power Supply or Astron Supply?
Robert, Go with the Micor supply. It has a nice fero-resonant voltage transformer that will operate continuous duty 24/7 at it's rated output. I have seen a lot more Astron power supply's that have failed on hilltops than I have seen failed Micor units, keeping in mind that I have seen a lot more Micor power supplys on hilltops than I have seen Astrons. I only remember seeing one Micor supply that lost a transistor, fail over the last 30 or so years, and I lost track of the number of failed Astrons that I have seen or repaired.

Don't have a TPN-1106 yet but will be looking for one if I do go that route. PA is 100watt cont. Have a TPN-1100B right now. If there is a add on board for that (and have been told there is not)...might look at that. Will be making a quick run to the Stone Mtn Hamfest in ATL on Nov 1st if someone has one for sell.
