[Repeater-Builder] RE: Info on TFE6030A mobile duplexer?

[Andy Brinkley]

The TFE-6030 was used in the Motorola Mark 12 mobiles.  I have the service
manual and tuning instructions here somewhere but it will take a while to
dig it out.

I am not a Kenwood guy so thought I would throw out this question.
I seem to recall that some Kenwood UHF repeaters would do ham split and some
won't?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Bi-Polar Prom Programmer Wanted (please)

[Andy Brinkley]

Skip -
 
I would suggest building an adapter rather than buying a prom burner.  
The cost of proms (when you can find them) has gone out the roof.
E-mail me direct if you are using 82s129s or 82s131 Proms as I have an
adapter already built to handle these proms (they were used in the Motorola
Syntor and MCX-100 radios)
 
See:   http://www.brinkleyelectronics.com/adp/adp_fr.htm
 
You can also build the adapters by hand, all it requires is a header and a
socket and some time matching the input and output pins. 
The cost of the eprom adapter is about what you would pay for a couple of
proms.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] FW: New IRLP Node/Repeater

[Andy Brinkley]

Tim -
 
As far as the RH256 radios with enough modification they can be set up to
work as simplex link radios for Echolink or IRLP.  
Both radios will encode and decode CTCSS tones.
The RH256 will require some component changes and a complete retuning /
alignment.  
The RH256NB model may be able to be retuned and realigned to 2 meters
without component changes.
In order to get the appropriate signals from the RH256 / RH256NB you will
have to dive into the radio to get most of your signals since neither radio
came with any kind of auxiliary connector.
 
E-mail me direct if you need further.

  Good Morning All,

  I have a few questions for anyone that can help.  I am getting ready to
move to Rolla, Missouri and I want to set up my IRLP node there in town.  I
have two Relm or Regency radios a RH256B and a RH256NB that I want to create
two mini repeaters with.  One for Echolink and one for IRLP on VHF.  First
question that I have is does anyone know how that I can use these radios as
mini repeaters, and does anyone know how that I can wire these to work with
the IRLP software?  I understand that these can be programmed to work with
CTCSS tones, but I'm not sure how to set these up to work with the tones
that IRLP requires.

IIRC the two beeps

and the post filter.  Tune both of these and it should 
work.
 
Also I did not realize you 
have the DTMF option, it would be best to unplug it so that you can check the 
repeater without having it complicating matters.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] OT:Interferrence Help

Don't know what engine you have in the fire truck but Detroit had a problem
several years ago with their DDEC ECM radiating spurs.
Look in the 30-50 MHz range with your analyzer and see if you have spikes
every MHz or so.

Detroit replaced the ECM under warranty and the problem disappeared for us.

E-mail me direct if you need more info.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Syntor programming

I 
use:
 
Roger Ries program

A program that I wrote
 R-1801 Suitcase
 
Send 
me your file and I'll look at it and check it with a Syntor I keep on the on the 
bench and make sure it works.

 
It's 
been a while since I did a UHF Syntor, but if my memory is correct all that I 
did was generate the hex file with the receive if flipped, then all 
that you have to do is tune the receiver pre selectors, tweak the 
transmitter and you're ready to go. No changes to the VCO, 
etc.

 
I also 
recommend generating a test eeprom where you move the frequencies a 
few MHz on each channel, makes tune up a whole lot easier rather than going 20 
MHz in one jump.
 
Shameless plug - check out our eeprom adapters for the MCX-100 and 
Syntor:

The SRA series Syntors will make excellent repeaters.
I have had 3 on the air for about 4 years, with no failures of any kind.
They just require one drawer unit for transmit and one drawer unit for
receive.

The mid split (150-162) will slide to 2 meters with minimal tuning.

Check out K7IC's (Mike Blenderman) site at
