[Repeater-Builder] Sinclair Q-318 dup.s?
Hi Folks, Trying to find some info on dup.s I got a t a hamfest this past weekend. I believe they are Sinclair Q-318 dup.s. 4 cans, about 7" round and about 12.5" high. Has the fine and coarse tuning. Looks like the cables have been mod'ed with rg214 cables and *was* on 443.725/448.725. Looking to possibly cut cables to 449.600/444.600. Might not need to, but need formula to check these. Everything points to the Q series of dup.s Thanks, Robert KD4YDC

[Repeater-Builder] MSR 2000 TPN1189A Power supply schematic needed.
Our MSR 2000 has a TPN1189A power supply in stead of the TPN1191 listed in the manual and on Repeater-Builder. I need a schematic for this PS. Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps this is region dependent. Most radios made for the past several years can encode DPL, & most hams I know around here use fairly recent equipment. In fact I feel like a throwback sometimes, sticking with my older equipment - I sometimes get comments about my "ancient" Alinco G5T. Yet I have radios in the car & here in the shack that will do DPL. I think the main reason DPL is only used on one or two systems here (out of nearly a thousand) is because it's considered not worth the trouble given that most can encode it, & would inconvenience those who still use older equipment that can't make it. There's also an issue with several radio models not implementing DPL properly: when encoding they also force decode of the same DPL code, making the feature useless on any repeater than doesn't regenerate the same DPL code. Of those one or two systems here that use DPL, none regenerate. Bob NO6B
Re: [Repeater-Builder] PL vs. DPL
I still have, and occasionally use, my Icom IC-4AT and Tempo S1 hand held radios - both have thumbwheel frequency selection for those who don't know what they are. Sometimes I wish they still made simple radios like that, but a little smaller. Great on batteries - goes for days, not hours.

[Repeater-Builder] Simpler Radios, (Was PL vs. DPL)
Ahh, the Tempo S1! You could always tell when someone had one of these because of the "Tempo Ping" when you went to transmit and the PLL locked. I still have my S1T on the shelf and I'm looking for the extendable antenna for it that I lost. I can't bring myself to getting rid of it. It's a shame that they don't make radios with different built-in personalties. I would like to have several to choose from, dumb, moderately complicated, experienced and super user. With each personality would come features. The dumb mode would be a simple radio, no bells and whistles, just a plain communicator. All the features would be turned off and a simple programming mode would be used. As you got more familiar with the features, you could advance through the personalities, (or just stay in the dumb mode). I would also like the ability to enable or disable individual features on a radio as I wanted. This would greater simplify the radio during an emergency situation and eliminate the possibilities of putting your radio into an unknown mode of operation. Been there, done that. I "butt-dialed" my Yaesu VX7-R into the spectrum analyzer mode when I sat down during a drill. It took a while to disable this feature that I rarely use. 73, Joe, K1ike Chuck Kelsey wrote: > I still have, and occasionally use, my Icom IC-4AT and Tempo S1 hand held > radios - both have thumbwheel frequency selection for those who don't know > what they are.

Of course you did the mod on yours to allow external CTCSS encode selection with a DIP switch mounted in the PTT bar, didn't you?

A lot of Kenwood radios, even fairly current-vintage ones, do this too. You can hear the VCO settle on frequency when the PTT is first keyed. The oscillation sounds like it's up around 3 or 4 kHz and dampens out to an inaudible level after maybe a second. > I would also like the ability to enable or disable individual > features > on a radio as I wanted.

Some of the radios that I own I hate because you have to go through menus for even simple things like PL selection, which is a royal PITA while you're driving. Give me an X9000 with MPL, scan, and monitor buttons and I'm happy... --- Jeff
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Vertex VXR-1000 Vehicle Repeater
Says on the brochure it is 450-470. You would need a VPL-1 programing cable and CE-22 software. This is not a true full duplex repeater, this is basically a glorified link radio that is meant to be connected to another radio inside the vehicle, so that a handheld can use the car's radio.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Simpler Radios, (Was PL vs. DPL)
This is a real issue for some new hams. They get inspired to participate in local emergency groups, attend classes, get their Tech license, then go looking for the "most bang for the buck" in a handheld. Some get so discouraged at the complexity of their radios they're never heard from again. Learning the radio is now more daunting than passing the license exam. 73, Paul, AE4KR - Original Message - From: Jeff DePolo To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 10:51 AM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Simpler Radios, (Was PL vs. DPL) Yeah, I agree.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Vertex VXR-1000 Vehicle Repeater
I believe 1 software version will allow you to program out of band. The other software versions would not. You will need the programming cable VPL-1. It has been a while since I programmed one, but I think it will drop power a very small amount. It is actually a cross band repeater you add to a mobile radio and will work with any radio. It is a nice little unit.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] PL vs. DPL
How did those older users get the idea that their Regency HR2's would be the last purchase they'd have to make as hams? Are they still grumbling about the FCC outlawing spark-gap? I'd love to run my repeater using FM, but all the guys with the Heathkit lunchboxes would stop paying dues, yada yada. I'm beginning to think electrolytic caps drying out is a gift-in-disguise for repeater operators. Perhaps we've created some unintended expectations through poor public policy choices.

Most of the new ham radios support at least encode CTCSS.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT Fish paper
The description doesn't say if there's an adhesive backing on this. I'd think you'd need something - glue or double-sided tape - to stick it on a panel you want to protect. As I recall, Heathkit used to use the self-stick stuff in many of their units, but after 20-30 years, the adhesive dries up and the fish paper falls out of position. Most annoying.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT Fish paper
Maybe google for "Micarta". We use it for Hi-Voltage (480 VAC) stuff. Material we use is thicker than fish paper, though. If I find any info on "fish paper", I'll post it. 73, kd6aaj --- On Thu, 3/5/09, dallasreact112 wrote: > From: dallasreact112 > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT Fish paper > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Date: Thursday, March 5, 2009, 2:28 PM > Does anybody know of a good source for "fish > paper" insulating material? > I trying to find it available in small quantities. > > 73 > > Bernie Parker > > K5BP > > > > > > > > Yahoo!

OK, I guess the info is found, I'll leave at that. 73, KD6AAJ
[Repeater-Builder] Need crossband coupler
Looking for a UHF/800 crossband coupler, weatherproof. Candidates include: TX-RX Systems 80-05-01 TX-RX Systems 80-05-03 TX-RX Systems 80-05-04 TX-RX Systems 80-05-10 Telewave TS-4680 Hoping to find someone that has one in excellent-to-new condition they might part with for cash or trade. Need to find one quickly; usually TX-RX takes a couple of weeks to make these, they usually don't have them on the shelf, so I'm hoping to find one quicker and save a little money. Thanks in advance. --- Jeff WN3A
RE: [Repeater-Builder] MSR 2000 TPN1189A Power supply schematic needed.
No, you DO have a TPN1191 power supply! The TPN1189A is the Auxiliary Regulator Chassis, one component of the TPN1191 power supply. The schematic for the TPN1189A chassis is included in the TPN1191 power supply manual 6881062E46, which is behind the Power Supply tab in the MSR2000 station manual 6881061E50. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of wa5luy Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 5:43 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] MSR 2000 TPN1189A Power supply schematic needed. Our MSR 2000 has a TPN1189A power supply instead of the TPN1191 listed in the manual and on Repeater-Builder. I need a schematic for this PS. Any help would be appreciated.
RE: [Repeater-Builder] OT Fish paper
Bernie, Scotch (3M) makes 2520 Adhesive-Backed Varnished Cambric tape in various widths, and you can purchase single rolls from industrial suppliers such as McMaster-Carr and Grainger. This stuff is much better than fish paper, both for its insulating value and its mechanical strength. You will not find this product at Home Depot or Lowes, because it has specialized uses within the electrical power industry. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of dallasreact112 Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 2:29 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT Fish paper Does anybody know of a good source for "fish paper" insulating material?

Too bad most amateur grade radios made today don't support different encode & decode tones. This is the reason I continue to use my G5T in spite of the bad battery contacts & other intermittents that make TXing problematic with that radio. Bob NO6B

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: PL vs. DPL
FWIW, you do know there really is no such thing as 'inverted DPL', don't you? Every 'inverted' code corresponds to a 'non-inverted' code. So, even if you're using an 'inverted code', if someone tries all the standard codes, they will eventually hit your code. The inverted tone only inverts the waveform for receivers that have injection opposite from what is the 'norm' (not that there is a norm, either).

FWIW I use Pliobond contact cement to glue the fish paper.

[Repeater-Builder] Heathkit Distortion Analyzer
Does anyone have the operating instructions for a Heathkit IM-5258 (new series) distortion analyzer? Most the Heath manuals have disappeared from the web. Bought the analyzer at a local flea market - it has a few problems, and I would really appreciate the few pages from the manual dealing with troubleshooting and operations. Plan to use it for GE receiver tuneup per GE procedure (yes, I know there are other ways). Instructions from older series would also be welcome. Thanks Fred, W6JLL
