RE: [Repeater-Builder] IFR 1900 Schematics

2008-07-08 Thread Eric Brownell
Yes, I have two 1900's at the moment and had to replace the final output
MMIC in both of them. The original is an SHF-0186 made by Sirenza. As it's
no longer manufactured and Aeroflex wants almost $90 for this $3 part, I
replaced them with a Mini-Circuits ERA-6+. Since the ERA-6+ is a 5 volt unit
as opposed to the 8 volt original, I had to change a couple of dropping
resistors also.

 

After this along with a couple of other repairs and a complete calibration
they both work well and pass all of their self tests.

 

I just know that sooner or later I'll experience a failure on the one I keep
that will require a schematic to diagnose. Maybe by then Aeroflex will be
less possessive of the schematics.

 

Thanks, Eric

I couldn't find any. The block diagram for the COM-120C is kinda close.

If you transmitted into the Aux port, and the step attenuator was at a
fairly high level of output, you will need to replace the MMICs in the
generator module.

Yes, it is a 3RP1 and they appear to be in a number of scopes. Accordingly, 
they seem to be available from a few sources.

Thanks for the help,
Eric

Does anyone know where a CRT for an IFR 1000 or 1100 service monitor can be 
scrounged up?

[Repeater-Builder] IFR-1100S or GRM-114A

2007-02-28 Thread Eric Brownell
Hello List,

Does anyone know where I can acquire or download an IFR-1100S or GRM-114A 
service manual or even just a schematic? Thus far, all I've been able to find 
is a "calibration" document that has no schematic. Since my problem is power 
supply related, the 1000S manual available everywhere is of little use.

Thanks, Eric

Just like you, I've now failed to resist voicing my wish that you'd been
successful at resisting your comments.

How very rude! How about showing a little support to a probable newbie, eh?
