[Repeater-Builder] TLE1713A
Greetings to the group Just wondering if anyone has a schematic for the TLE1713A PA. I have been trying to fire it up with 1 watt from a Maxtrac but not a thing out of it.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola experts/Maxtrac COR
Since this is programmed into the code Plug of the radio it should not change with a power outage. As for the Custom setting I believe this is to indicate the fact you have varied from the default setting for that acc plug menu.

The Maxtrac is by defaulted to low. In the menu it can be changed to high , but when I do its says Custom in the right hand corner. My question is.. since it is a "custom" setting and the default is LOW, if there is a power outage or glitch, will it go back to the default setting of LOW. I would like to set anything in the menu and think it is going to stay that way. Any body know for sure.. 73s and thanks!

Thanks Jeff I have just learned something new today. So you would need an acetylene torch to provide enough heat for doing this.

Note that "silver soldering" isn't soldering using soft solder that has some silver in it, such as tin+silver or tin+silver+copper. Those kinds of soft solder are often called "silver bearing solder". Silver soldering is really a kind of brazing. For silver soldering (brazing) copper strap, sil-phos brazing rods are often used (sil-phos = silver + phosphorus, the balance of the composition being copper). --- Jeff WN3A

Yes, to some degree, but with relatively wide (3"+) strap, it's not that big of a problem since the strap is kept flat rather than being bent/folded back toward itself. It's when you have to make a hard 90 by folding the strap into an L that it's more of an issue (for example, if it was coming down the wall vertically and you transitioned to horizontal to run across the floor by making a hard 90, that's a worst-case scenario). If you want to improve further on the "flat" T, you can take two additional short pieces of strap and lay them diagonally across the inside corners of the T at a 45 degree angle, sort of converting the T into a filled triangle, fold the excess over the main strap runs, then silver-solder all of the overlaps/joints. >Would it > be better if the vertical downward strap be tied on top of the other > strap so it starts to run horizontally, then twisted 90 degrees turned > down with a 12" bend radius then twisted again so it can be nailed > flat on the wall or is this unnecessary?

Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but how is that different than the original question? Is the question how to transition from horizontal to vertical, but not needing to continue the horizontal run as in the case of the T? If so, then either you can make two 45's in succession, or do the same thing as I described above for the T, using a short piece of strap at a 45 degree diagonal across the L. --- Jeff WN3A

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Weather Alert Radios...
Just reading the mail here and I had the same problem with the Reecom 1650c weather radio. What I did was leave the audio live to the RC-210 aux audio input all the time, then when the alert comes through the alert macro turns on the aux audio and then can program a timeout timer to your desired length. I also set up a user command so users could check the weather reports at their leisure. Randy Elliott VE3JPU Technical Director South Pickering Amateur Radio Club Inc.

It works great, unlike the midlands, it mutes the rx when it recieves the end of message data burst. I probed around and found the line that mutes the audio when not active and ran that to an alarm/logic input on the 210. Then ran audio in an aux audio port. Works like a champ. I also brought the 3 alert lights out with plans to change the courtesy tone and tail message based on status of the radio. Haven't had time to do that yet. I have a macro that connects the aux audio to all repeater ports, says '' weather alert'' plays the message. At the end of message it disconnects the aux audio, says ''weather alert clead' and ID's fast in cw because for some reason the 210 does not see aux audio as an input for the I'd timer. Finding a radio that mutes at the End of message signal is key, I find the ones with 2 minute timers annoying. I was surprised when I bought the $69 one from radio shack for the rv to find that it also mutes at End of message. I bought a second one for backup for the repeater. An easy way to hook one up is using a cheap vox kit, then you don't have to go probing for the mute line. Let me know if you need and help, you can email me direct or here. The next project is to record the alert so it can be played back any time during the alert period. The onboard DVR can't be used as it is too small and can't record aux audio from a macro. Rob.

Re: ***SPAM*** Re: [Repeater-Builder] SLOPER
Hi Gang Just reading the thread here. I am using slopers for 40 meters. One is toward the west and the other to the east. I am end feeding them, with a home made coax switch to switch between them. Now I have not tried using one for 10 meters as I have 3 element beam but I think it should work okay. Now I should mention that the theory that I have read about these slopers at least for the lower frequency like I use on 40 is that have the 3 element beam mounted above them acts like a capacitor hat so it allows you to be able tune them up with a reasonable SWR. Not sure if the same would be true for one being used on 10 meters, I have never tried it.

Hi Dan I would have to agree with Tim. I'm using a Maxar 80 which is very similar to the moxy for the receiver on our clubs 440 repeater. The main disadvantage to these radio they have no shielding because the cases are plastic, so this can sometime stray RF floating around inside the rack to cause problems.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] simple tone decoder
Yes it is for monitor weather alerts in my area east of Toronto but I need to detect the 1050 tone and convert that to a logic level to input to my controller.

[Repeater-Builder] simple tone decoder
Greeting to the group I need to decode a single frequency (1050 hz) and output a logic level + or - doesn't matter. I know this sounds really simple but I guess I'm stupid today. I've tried an ne567 PLL and can't even get it to work. (could be bad chip though, just dug it out of my junk box) Anyone have any circuits floating around in your archives that could do what I'm looking for? Randy Elliott VE3JPU Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Simulcast
Just like to thank you to all the people that responded to my problem, I have a few options now. To answer Jack's question, no they use this repeater for all their communications. Your right it is weird that they never made allowances for coverage problems. Since Zetron does not make the 19 simplexer any more I may have to try plan B, but that's ok too. 73 Randy Elliott Randy Elliott R.E. Communications 234 Rands Rd.

[Repeater-Builder] Simulcast
Hi Gang I have an interesting problem that has come to me. A small Fire Dept. near me call today and were wondering if I could get them a Zetron Simplexer. Not too familiar with it I surmised it was a digital recorder with a re-broadcaster. I could be way off in this guess. Anyway their main problem is that their main repeater located many miles north of downtown is connected via land line from their dispatch center that is located in the downtown core. When they activate the pagers the transmitted signal of course comes from the repeater, the coverage into south parts of the town is very poor in some areas so as a result some peoples pagers never active. My question is this, could a low power transmitter be located at their dispatch center that would be only keyed when a page out was initiated? This would hopefully help coverage into the lower parts of town. Hope this makes sense to everyone. Looking forward to any comments. Randy Elliott Randy Elliott R.E. Communications 234 Rands Rd.
