I could be a nice guy and extend my offer if the part you 
ordered doesn't work out. Just email me direct... 

You'd be smart to change how you view the group messages 
from inbound Emails to just reading the group posts on the 
yahoo web page for the group messages. 

Click on this link or paste it into your web browser of 
choice. You can then click to read any post that catches 
your fancy. 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/messages 

If you like using the web browser method with the above link, 
simply save the link in your bookmarks. Then change your group 
member settings from Emailing messages to viewing on the web. 
Couldn't be simpler and reviewing older messages that you might 
have skipped over (no pun intended, honest) are easily viewed 
(in order) using the "older" icon on the right side of the screen 
at the top of the message column. 

You don't have to then deal with a gaggle of inbound Email 
messages that don't interest you.

[Repeater-Builder] MSF5k - No Tx

[Scott Zimmerman]

OK, It just may be because it's late on a Saturday night, but I am stumped.

I have a UHF 100W secure capable MSF5000 that when I key the TX (doesn't 
matter how of the GOZILLION ways) the 'PA On', 'PA Key' and 'PA Full' 
LED's light for a split second and then I get no power out. I am testing 
into my service monitor, so high ref. power is not an issue.

I realize that the power control is a loop and I could be chasing my 
tail trying to figure out which came first - the lack of power or the 
lack of drive. I read in earlier posts something about JU1 being a 
service jumper. JU1 in this station is a 3 position header. When I 
change positions on that jumper, the station doesn't boot properly, 
gives an error, then resets. I don't think I am looking at the correct JU1.

The manual eludes to many troubleshooting charts that apparently aren't 
in my book. I think that there were MANY authors and they figured that 
"someone else will write that."

For those of you that know me and know what I do, I have never worked on 
anything this new. I'm used to the good ol' fashioned radios, where a 
strategically placed alligator lead fixed all your power-set ills.

Even a "look at page xx in the manual for a troubleshooting flowchart" 
type message would be helpful.

Sorry Skipp, never got that request, sometimes I think
not all the emails to this group end up getting forwarded to

I suggested the guy Email me a few well lighted pictures of
the bad cap and I would have probably sent him one or told
him of places I know where he could still buy them.

Oh well... times up.

[Eric Lemmon]

Skipp,

The manual for the HLNB R*I*C*K is 6880901Z79, still available from
Motorola Parts for about $5.  Since it is still in print and is copyrighted,
it should not be posted anywhere for download, lest the long arm of the law
be felt by the perpetrators.  I suggested to the individual that he contact
the Motorola agent in his country to purchase the document.

73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY

[Repeater-Builder] GE Mastr II Base Station LBI/SAM Help

[KD6LVP]

I'm looking for schematics for a 19B234871 Tone/Remote / Repeater Control Panel 
for a Mastr II Base station. The one Repeater Builder: 
http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/lbi-library/lbi-31853e.pdf seems to be newer 
then the one I have. Also I have no idea where to look to see what Rev. it is. 
There are no markings anywhere besides on the front which states the above 
number.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Eric,

The steel cases are not an impediment to the magnetic field, at least not 
enough to make retuning impossible. Microwave type circulators are built in 
a similar fashion, just smaller, and the technique is well known among those 
of us who play in the microwave region. Just to give an idea of the 
magnitude of change that's possible, 1.8 GHz circulators can be moved up to 
2304, and I have moved 11.7 GHz circulators down to 10368 MHz.

I haven't specifically attempted to move 870 MHz circulators up to 928, but 
I see no reason why this couldn't at least be attempted if someone was so 
inclined.

If someone wants to attempt it, you can either dissect an unwanted 
circulator, or maybe better yet, use some of those extremely powerful rare 
earth magnets. I buy 'em by the handful at the county fairs for cheap, just 
to have them around for such purpose.

The network analyzer makes it seem stupidly simple, but a SA/TG would work 
nearly as well. Just remember to check it both ways before you apply the 
glue.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Duplexer parts

[Joe]

I don't know if this was suggested, but you can buy a cap of larger 
value that physically fits the area and then remove a plate/stator or 
two to get the proper value.


Removing a plate and/or stator is a trick from way back in ham time when 
people scrounged parts and made them work.
