Re: [Repeater-Builder] GM 300 Question

2008-12-28 Thread Danny Musten
We use the BCD code method on the GM300 toggling four of the
programmable pins on the accy jack.  Using the RC-210's Aux ports, we
program 15 macros to divide up the logic and have voice telemetry
confirming the channel on the remote base.

  The MaxTrac/GM300 radios use one of several methods for changing

  1. one input line to revert to a known channel,
  2. two input lines: one to go UP, one to go DOWN,
  3. four input lines which you program with a binary code: 
 thru  to select the desired channel.
 
  Of the various methods, the one where you tell the radio which
 channel to go to is far more reliable. The others depend on you
 knowing where the radio is before you tell it to change because
 there is NO feedback of any kind.
 
  If you want something that's very user-friendly and may even
 provide feedback in some way, you're better off with an Icom,
 Kenwood, or Yaesu radio. The Motorola link radios you're using just
 don't have what you want.

On the GM300 we are using we
programed it so we can change
channels remotely thru the accessory
jack using pins 6,8 and 9 if I
remember right. We pulled them low,
one at a time and the channel
changed accordingly. It worked fine.
We just need to hear some kind of a
confirmation over the repeater to
confirm the channel change.

 What kind of repeater controller are you using?
 Any decent controller will have a way to indicate a completed function.

 On our system we have macros that:
 a) turn the 2m remote base off

 b) select channel N where N is 1 through 8. Each channel
 has a preselected CTCSS tone.

 c) select CTCSS encode tone NN where NN is 01-32 (tone 00 is carrier
 squelch)
 (this overrides the preselected tone)

 d) enable the 2m transmitter for the current channel.

 Each of the above functions is several commands in the controller.
 Each is triggered by sending a DTMF string that triggers a macro.
 One of the commands in each macro sends a beep or speech
 message appropriate to the command (for example, selecting
 tone 00 says none, tone 13 says one hundred. Note that
 these responses all come from the controller, not from the
 remote base radio.

 There are several commands that turns the 2m transmitter off,
 including changing the channel, changing the encode tone,
 changing any of the point-to-point link configurations, or
 any of the patch functions. These are all controlled by macros.

 If you let us know what controller you are using we can give
 you some pointers.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Notch duplexer dumb question

2007-07-10 Thread Danny Musten

I actually have seen those mobile duplexors labeled both ways, but commonly
the labeling refers to what is connected.  Low would be your 462 freq pass
and would be tuned to reject 467. Most of those UHF mobile notch duplexors
fairly broad banded and probably will not matter as long as YOU know how
they are tuned.

those labelings refer to the NOTCH frequency or the pass frequency?
Unfortunately, it is not labeled with the current tuning, and I don't have

More than likely it has been programmed with a newer RSS as Mike said.

[Repeater-Builder] Celwave Preselector Tuning

2007-01-20 Thread Danny Musten
I have one of the small 941-PB4-2-3 Celwave Band Pass Preselectors ( UHF ).

There are 7 stubs, 4 are on the pass cans, 3 in-between the 4
resonators. Adjusting any of the 3 stubs (between each of the 4
resonators) has little effect on the skirt.

I might assume that these 3 might be related to bandwidth spread, but
I am not seeing any adjacent attenuation, notch or change.  Can anyone
share light on tuning these and what the intended function of the 3
in-between stubs are.

Here is the thing, for reference:

 My goodness... there's a lot of love and 
 good cheer going around the group today. 
 
 Onward.. 
 
 I don't believe the below mentioned mfgrs always 
 spec the specific application, but Midland Does 
 or did make 220 Repeater Gear. Motorola has been 
 known to spec and supply repeater gear in odd 
 bands, but since I'm not in their loop anymore I 
 can't tell you what they currently offer overseas 
 at this time. 
 
 On more than one occassion, I've serviced 
 some really wild repeaters on large cruise 
 ships from Europe and Asia. Other parts of the 
 world have and use ham and commercial bands we 
 don't even know about and Motorhead makes or 
 made repeaters for these ranges. 
 
 I've got the software for and had a source for 
 a Motorola repeater on 220 MHz range factory 
 built repeater. Serviced and sent it back 
 to Asia a few years ago. 
 
 Don't know if EF Johnson has resurfaced to 
 offer after the factory move.
 
 If anyone VERY SERIOUSLY wants a new Kenwood 
 220 Ham Repeater New, Email me off the list 
 I'm a can do kind of guy...

 Looks complete to me, Dave. Frame, driver, final board, filter board,
 power cables, and all. Looks like a base station model, too, as it has a
 T/R relay.

 With respect to what Mike is looking for, the power control circuit is
 on the driver board, so I guess you're looking for one that's missing
 only the final PA board and filter board?
