Re: [Repeater-Builder] HELP - Photo collection: Name this PA !

That is a Micor vintage 800 Mhz PA... Some of those stations used these to 
drive the Klystron final as well...

Can anyone help identify this amplifier?

See the 9 photos at < http://www.repeater-builder/wa6ilq/name-that-pa>
Each one is about 460-480KB each
The first one may be all someone has to look at.

Next stage is a TRN5268
Goes through a directional coupler? TRN8856A
Then it goes to another combiner, I'm sure it has a fancy name, the board

Well I will agree with Nate on this one.. The crazy D-Star will only do 
it's AMBE digital and will not pass analog voice...

At least when using a Quantar/Quantro with P25 capability you can set it up 
with CAI (Clear Air Interface)/P25 IMBE and it will do either analog voice 
or P25 digital. You can really piss off the guys running analog when you 
key up in digital. On the other hand you can get some serious interest in 
digital if they really want to play...

Just my two cents

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: INTERFACE FOR CAT CONTROLLER

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

You can also use the MRTI connector and program the Quantar to give MRTI 
priority and be a base not a repeater. All signals are present on the DB25 
on the rear of the chassis. The other way is by using the 50 pin telco 
connector on the rear and having the "Wildcard" option installed which is 
on or part of the "Wireline Interface"board

Also as NJ902 says, if your are wanting to pass or do P25 you use the 
DIU3000 between the Quantar and the external controller...

Hope this helps...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor 375 Watt TLD5082 question?

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

Steve and the group,

The Micor had a power supply problem (low voltage ps) when it arrived. I 
fixed that problem and noticed it was low on output power, only putting out 
about 260 watts (only HA!).. I then re-tuned it on the original commercial 
frequency and it still made the same power. I then swapped out the tubes 
and re-tuned it and now big power... I then changed the exciter out for a 
ham band unit already tuned up and the driver PA made good power there as 
well but he final did not after several tuning attempts. The driver PA 
output is supposed to be set at 10 Watts according to the manual and that 
is what mine is set to. It made good power in the commercial at that drive 
so I see no need to overdrive the final...

Hope this helps...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor 375 Watt TLD5082 question?

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

Joe and the group,

I have a ham band exciter and a good 10 watts out of the driver PA, I just 
can't get more than 160 watts out of the final. My dip in the plate current 
is not so great and when I bring up the screen voltage the plate current 
flattens out and no more power is made. I got a little more out from the 
initial tune up by adjusting the antenna coupling but still 160 watts was 
the max...

I do know that 400 watts is excessive but I was tuning for max power but 
still staying under my plate current limit. I brought the screen voltage 
back down when on the commercial frequency and left it at 350 watts or so 
for quite a while. The power stayed rock solid and the PA looked clean on 
the analyzer.

Just wish it would go down a bit further without mods. Oh well I guess I 
will pull the plate line and see what can be done...

[Repeater-Builder] Micor 375 Watt TLD5082 question?

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

I have a Micor 375 Watt station that has the TLD5082 high power PA. I have 
a fresh set of tubes in the station and on a commercial frequency (156.???) 
it makes good power, about 400 watts or so.. I have tried to get it to tune 
up on a 147.??? ham frequency but to no avail. I have heard of these going 
down with no problem but this one just won't do it. I of course checked MOL 
to see if the needed parts were available to convert it to the ham band 
(TLD5081) but they are NLA...

Has anyone converted one of these to the ham band and if so what parts did 
you change?

According to the manual the grid tuning cap and some other assorted coils 
are needed, but I would like to hear from someone that has made one of 
these work in the ham band...

Thanks for your time!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dupelxer wierdness

OOP's..
That should be 1.3dB not .3dB
Sorry

Tim,
First off lets go over some numbers...
38 watts = 45.8dB
16 watts = 42dB
So 38 into the duplexer and 16 out is roughly 3.8dB loss not
7.5dB...
I don't have a Motorola 2600 but I do have an IFR1500 and it doesn't
always measure RF power anywhere close to what my Bird watt meter
does...
According to Sinclair
<http://www.sinctech.com/catalog/series.aspx?id=343>
you should see no more than .8dB loss through the duplexer...
Your 28 watts which is 44.5 dB is showing about .3dB loss which seems a
little too good but is closer than 3.8dB loss
When I see that kind of power gain by tuning the duplexer with low TX
power going through it I usually associate it with the fact that when you
are tuning the duplexer on the bench you use two of the ports while
tuning and terminate the third with a 50 Ohm load. Your service monitor
should be fairly close to 50 Ohms as well. When hooked to the transmitter
and receiver they are usually not near as close to 50 Ohms as the test
equipment that you are using... I will say that usually you won't see
that much power to be gained by peaking the TX side under (low)
power  So maybe the transmitter output is not near as close to
being a perfect 50 Ohms...
I sometimes even use another set of test cables when things start looking
weird, just in case.
When you finish re-peaking the TX side under (low) power, always go back
and set/re-check the notches on the TX side as well
This is taken from my experience. YMMV..

I have a 440 repeater with a Sinclair Q3220E duplexer.
 
I used my Motorola 2600 with the tracking generator to tune it.
 
Then I checked the power.  Power in was around 38 watts, and the
power out into the service monitor was around 16.  Or about -7.5 db
inserstion loss.
 
So then I just pulled the plungers under power ( I know it's a NO NO),
and got the output power up to 28 watts into the service monitor. 
Which brought the insertion loss down to -2.6.  Which is still too
high, but better.
 
Keep in mind the monitor is a selective watt meter, so its doubtfull that
I am measuring garbage.  The spectrum looks fine.
 
So, why when I peak it with the tracking generator, aren't I getting the
correct insertion loss or at least comparable to the power tuning
method?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dupelxer wierdness

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

Tim,
First off lets go over some numbers...
38 watts = 45.8dB
16 watts = 42dB
So 38 into the duplexer and 16 out is roughly 3.8dB loss not
7.5dB...
I don't have a Motorola 2600 but I do have an IFR1500 and it doesn't
always measure RF power anywhere close to what my Bird watt meter
does...
According to Sinclair
<http://www.sinctech.com/catalog/series.aspx?id=343>
you should see no more than .8dB loss through the duplexer...
Your 28 watts which is 44.5 dB is showing about .3dB loss which seems a
little too good but is closer than 3.8dB loss
When I see that kind of power gain by tuning the duplexer with low TX
power going through it I usually associate it with the fact that when you
are tuning the duplexer on the bench you use two of the ports while
tuning and terminate the third with a 50 Ohm load. Your service monitor
should be fairly close to 50 Ohms as well. When hooked to the transmitter
and receiver they are usually not near as close to 50 Ohms as the test
equipment that you are using... I will say that usually you won't see
that much power to be gained by peaking the TX side under (low)
power  So maybe the transmitter output is not near as close to
being a perfect 50 Ohms...
I sometimes even use another set of test cables when things start looking
weird, just in case.
When you finish re-peaking the TX side under (low) power, always go back
and set/re-check the notches on the TX side as well
This is taken from my experience. YMMV..

I used my Motorola 2600 with the tracking generator to tune it.

power out into the service monitor was around 16.  Or about -7.5 db

[Repeater-Builder] WANTED: Motrac B94MDB manual..

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

I have come across a real clean vintage Motorola Motrac Station 
B94MDB-3105A which I believe is capable of 275 Watts on UHF...

I am not wanting to revive the complete station, I just want to use the 
final PA and HV supply..

I have never messed with a Motrac high power station on UHF before so I am 
going to see how hard it would be to separate the HV section and the PA 
from the rest of the Motrac station. It is really unbelievable how clean 
this one is, no evidence of mice or any other outside pests..

Any help with a manual would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know how much and where to send the money.

Please email direct at  k0bsj at hamrepeater dot com

RE: [Repeater-Builder] RE: RC-96 EEPROM

[Bryon Jeffers K0BSJ]

Just to add some information...

The upgrade to version 5 employs the Dallas Real Time Clock (DS1216) but it 
goes in the U31 socket not the U30 socket

The upgrade does nothing to U30 and re-uses U31 in it's same state only it 
goes into the Dallas socket.

Of course U34 is completely omitted and the new 27C011 goes in the U29 
socket...

I still wonder the function of U30?

Yes the controller boots fine and functions as it should...

Very strange the I see the 6264 blank as you do.


Maybe someone else will have some input on this?
