[Repeater-Builder] A DB224E antenna...

2010-09-02 Thread Ray Brown
  Greetings. I'm the trustee of our local club's 2m repeater. It's NE of the
big town of Joplin, MO. (147.210) What I want to find out, I'm going to ask
our club to buy a new 224e antenna (assuming that this is the correct version
needed for T147.210 R147.810), and arrange the elements on the north 
edge of the tower we're on so that 3 elements point to the SW, to favor our
town so that HTs can work it, and one element to the ENE to point some
energy to Springfield for working severe weather. Altho I'm thinking about
trying to link the repeater with either EchoLink or some other repeater to
Springfield and just point all 4 elements to the SW. :-)  But it's on the north
leg (that leg points to the north), so if pointing them to the SW gets the
highest gain, that sounds great to me. :-)  The point is that there's a DB224
there now, not sure if it's an E version or not, but I think it has some issues
right now, so I'd rather just get a new one up and bring the old one down and
go thru it at our leisure, plus reorienting it so that we can actually USE it. 
:-)

  Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone had one here that was in either new-
in-box or barely used condition, how much $$ they go for nowadays, and
how hard is it to reorient the elements if it was originally designed / set
for omni (3, 6, 9, 12 o'clock).

  Thanks!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Polyphaser Question

2010-08-17 Thread Ray Brown
  What do you do when you want to install a small UHF linking repeater on
a 4-story building that has no lightning protection on its' roof? (this is to
link an ambulance at a hospital to its' base repeater 40 miles away)

  From what I've heard, it may not be a good idea to hook it to the HVAC,
either.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] lowband HT antennas

2010-06-30 Thread Ray Brown

- Original Message - 
From: hitekgearhead hitekgearh...@hotmail.com


I know I am revisiting this again but I could use some clarification.

 It has been stated before that the Motorola low band helical antennas have a 
 useful bandwidth of about 1MHz.

 I was just wondering why that was the case, say in comparison to HT antennas 
 in other bands. For instance, (and correct me if I am 
 wrong) the mid UHF (430-470MHz) radios often all use the same 6 1/4 wave 
 whip.

 What am I missing? I know that the first type of antenna is loaded and the 
 other is a 1/4 wave whip, but beyond that I don't 
 understand the fundamental differences that would allow one a wider bandwidth 
 over the other. Please pardon my antenna theory 
 ignorance

  Proportionally, there is less difference between 450 to 470 MHz  (20 / 450, 
or 4.44%) than there is between
30 to 36 MHz ( 6 / 30, or 20%) or even 42 to 50 MHz (that'd be 8 / 42, or 19%). 
Receive won't be affected very much (although you 
could measure the difference) but transmitting would have 2:1 or worse SWR.

  That's why at home I run a j-pole tuned to 52.52 for FM and repeater work, 
and a 3-el Yagi tuned to 50.2 for SSB work. If I tried 
swapping antennas for the different modes, I get a 2.5 SWR. I then go oh shoot 
and flip the switch back. :-)

  (And on-topic, I'm running 1/4 wave antennas tuned for 51.55 receive and 
53.25 transmit. :-)

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MOVs for power supply primary

2010-06-07 Thread Ray Brown

- Original Message - 
From: AA8K73 GMail aa8...@gmail.com


 
 I added a 130 Volt MOV across the hot and neutral
 of an Astron 50 Amp power supply for a repeater
 and had an interesting effect.
 
 We lost AC power and switched over to the generator.
 When the load was added to the generator, the Onan's
 voltage sagged a bit and the throttle opened to
 bring the speed back.  It overshot slightly and was
 high enough to trip the MOV.  That short slowed the
 generator down until the voltage was too low and
 then the generator sped up again.  And again it fired
 the MOV and slowed down until it cleared.  It kept
 oscillating with huge voltage swings until I unplugged
 the Astron power supply.

  That's very interesting, all right.

  Was this a single-cylinder 3600 RPM generator, or was it one of
the twin-cylinder motor-home generators?

  I used to work for an Onan distributorship back when (70's)
and we had a similar problem with a Southwestern Bell setup.
They had a 2.5 LK, which was a single cylinder genset that ran
at 1800 RPM. They switched a 500 watt load in and out several
times a minute. When the 500 W load hit, it did the same thing
you had described. I brought up a 1 KW load (heater elements)
and plugged them in the circuit full-time, and it worked like a 
champ, going between about 40% and 60% of full load. 
Pretty stable. :-)

The key is like a 2135 and a 2135 will fit

They are more difficult to find.  Mine is a copy – and

 Nate,
 
 A nearby hospital is required by law or regulation to replace on an annual

 local radio clubs are the beneficiaries of this policy.  Batteries in the 12
 to 40 Ah range are found in portable X-ray, defibrillator, dialysis,
 heart-lung, and oxygen generation equipment, just to name a few.  Check with
 the Operations Supervisor- the person in charge of keeping the hospital
 running- to see if such batteries are available for acquisition by local

  Actually, that should be the Biomedical or Clinical Engineering office...

  Your point was why the 146 MHz pairs were more popular - because the
  techs could not use the 147 MHz pairs.
 
  The 146 MHz segment was originally 60 kHz channels (146.610, 146.670,
  146.730, Etc.), then went to 30 kHz in most areas - going to 20 kHz
  channels in some, then the 30 kHz was again broken down into 15 kHz
  channels. The sub-band was always 20 kHz until some areas changed
 that, too.
 
  Check out some of the older RDs for more info. Some of the early 70s
  ones even listed the Input/Output modulation, such as 5/5 or 15/5 or
  15/15 (meaning deviation in / deviation out).

   Close, but not exactly. When repeaters first came to be used on the
 ham bands in the late '50s/early '60s the 2m band from 144 to 148 Mc was
 only available to General class licensees and above. Novice (yes,
 Novice had some 2m voice privileges at that time) and Technician
 licensees were only allowed to operate in the 2m band from 145 to 147
 Mc. Therefore if a repeater owner wanted to make his repeater available
 to the widest audience he had to keep both input and output within the
 145 to 147 range. Interestingly, there was a repeater in the S. F. Bay
 area (somewhere down the Peninsula, I believe, maybe Stanford) that did
 have it's input and output on 144 and 147+ with the clearly stated
 reason that Novices and Techs. were not welcome. Never seemed to bother
 anyone I knew; that group carried on some pretty stuffy conversations
 anyway and there were enough 145 to 147 machines to go around including
 at least one AM repeater. However the only repeater at the time (tha
  t I
   know of) using 600Kc separation was the WB6AAE repeater in the
 foothills east of Oakland on Grizzly Peak. If they had a role in
 establishing the later standard, I have no idea

 The biggest problem I have run into so far is loading Win98 onto an older

 an interchangeable drive bay, and then bought a CD Drive for the laptop.
 Problem is: Win95 (loaded on the machine) won't recognize the drive, even
 though it IS seen and recognized by the BIOS.

  I don't have the Win95 driver disk but I know that there was a version of
Win98, SP1, that was on floppies. I also know that you could have played
with NT 4.0 on floppies. The only problem with that is that you have to know
what you have, and then set it up accordingly. But that could've worked, too.

  I also have an old laptop that I need to play with (also a bad BIOS battery)
that I want to program things with, too.

  Anyway, I hear you got a solution (bootable Win98) so that should take

 Are you using the repeater's input frequency for control, a separate

 After transition I will have a local channel broadcasting DTV on

 whether DTV will be more (or less) susceptible to interference from 
 ham radio transmissions than analog TV?

  You're going to have a DTV 02 there in Maine? Wow.

  Anyway, what happened in Dallas a couple of years ago ought to be
noteworthy... I think one of the Dallas stations was testing full output
DTV on channel 36, and Baylor University's medical telemetry, which
is supposed to be in protected spectrum at channel 37, the lower third
of their telemetry went no signal when the transmitter keyed up. Their
biomed techs were in full panic mode most of that day until they figured
it out. Seems that the DTV specs allow for the full 6 MHz bandwidth per
channel  The excess bandwidth overloaded the tele receivers, which I think
were only a couple of miles away. Trying to remember the details.

  But everyone I've talked to says the same thing, the DTV will take up the
whole allocated space, and maybe a half meg more each side. For those
6m folks, that means that everything between 53.5 and 54 MHz may
become very noisy and unusable.

 They are a 5A very small 1/8x1/8x1/4* fuse not much larger than a

 seen these once before, but don't know the name of that style to do

  LittleFuse. I forget their exact part designation but several models of
hospital beds uses them. I had never seen them before and unfortunately
got them from the mfgr. of the beds because I needed some overnight and
didn't have time to search.  I got about 10 of each (they range from 0.5 to
7 amps @ 32 VDC) plus fuse holders for each one for $200. (sigh)

  I can't give any of the fuses away, but if anyone wants any surface-

give away. :-)

  Anyway, Newark stocks them, too. :-)

RE: [Repeater-Builder] newbie needs help

2008-09-08 Thread Ray Hughes
I know that a duplexer I was looking at can fit into the chassis of the
GR1225. I believe it needs 4.5MHz separation between the frequencies which
should not be to big of a problem to get.

 

I understand that the GR1225 has either a 25 or 50 watt output so
programming to the lower level should take care of one of the problems, I
hope.

 

The only other radios that would be included in the Comm Van would be a 2
meter Amateur Radio and a Marine Band radio, neither which should be
transmitting very much.

 

The repeater would be our main radio used.

 

One question that I did not realize and want to clarify is about the GR1225
being a 16 channel radio. Are you saying that if a duplexer is used, it can
only be programmed for one RX and 1 TX freq and the other 15 channels are
worthless?

 

I guess that if this is the case, I would need to find a switch that would
allow me to bypass the duplexer and use the radio as a standalone unit. Will
this work?

 

Also, is there a control head for the radio so I would not have to use the
Chassis front panel to operate the radio? This way, I could mount the radio
and Duplexer in a different type of chassis.

 

Thanks to all the replies and help I have received so far. Really appreciate

 Right now, we have a frequency of 155.1 but have not yet applied for 
 a second freq. It will have to be in the Public Safety Range for VHF.

 We are looking to outfit a Mobile Command unit and need a 50 watt 
 repeater that will work inside a mobile command without having to run 
 a huge generator just to run the repeater. 
 
 Ideally, we would get a Duplexer as we don't usually have room to 
 place 2 antennas.

It's going to be tough. Unless you can get an input frequency more than 
about 4-5 MHz away from your output freq, a duplexer is going to be very 
large (think 2'x2'x3.5'), very touchy (easily damaged/detuned in a 
mobile environment), and very expensive (think upwards of $1000).
At 5MHz separation, there are some smaller, less expensive mobile type 
duplexers become available.
Also look at dropping your power out requirement. 50W is too much in a 
Comm Van. 20W will be plenty. Trust me. You're going to be talking to 5W 
handhelds, so you're already over matched. And the less power you can 
get away with, the better, because of interference issues. Since you 
don't have much room for antennas for other radios, they will all be 
closer than desirable, and there will be interaction. Keeping power 
levels down will minimize that.

 We are kind of looking at the Motorola GR1225 repeater but would like 
 to get opinions on this radio and any others that you can suggest.
 
 Is a 16 channel unit overkill for what we need?
 
 Thanks
 Ray

Yes. If there is a single channel version, go that way. You won't be 
able to change channels anyway because of the duplexer.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Switching a Repeater Betwen AC Sources

2008-07-13 Thread Ray Brown
  I work in a hospital, so I have some insight into this.
   
First off, at least in Missouri, the receptacles, wiring, and circuit 
breakers are rated for 20 amps each. SO, normally, this would not be a problem. 
In fact, you could probably run the radio systems entirely on the red 
receptacles all the time. I wouldn't try to put in any kind of relay, or 
transfer switch, as that's handled down near the generators. 
   
HOWEVER, I would definitely run this past the hospital's electricians to 
ensure that the circuits involved do not have something else sharing the 
circuit. Sometimes, alas, several receptacles may be fed by only one circuit. 
This may have been the case with your white receptacles as well. So you need 
to make sure that there's nothing else on that circuit that will overload 
things.
   
I'll mention this, look and see if there was a laser printer on the white 
circuit. They have high instatenous loads as they heat up the fuser drum, and 
it might've been the combination of your power supplies and the printer coming 
on that tripped the breaker. And keep the printer on the white receps, as 
there's almost no reason to have a laser printer on emergency power (unless an 
administrator orders it).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Switching a Repeater Betwen AC Sources

2008-07-13 Thread Ray Brown
  Sorry, Ron, I disagree with the relay idea. If it's critical that the radio 
power supply be up all the time, then run it in the emergency circuits, which 
ARE active all the time. Our main ambulance radio and our maintenance repeater 
are on emergency power, as I specificied and coordinated the istallation of 
both of them myself.
   
The only switching occurs when the power goes down, all receptacles (both 
white and red are now dead) then the generators fire up within 15 seconds, 
stabilize, and transfer the feed of the red receptacles from the outside 
utility to the generators. Power switches back automatically after utility 
power has been restored and stays up for at least 5 continuous minutes with no 
dropouts. Then the generators run on cool-down for at least 10 minutes.

My CBET rating means I'm certified as a Biomedical Equipment Technician on 
6 levels of the proper care and feeding of medical instrumentation, including 
power supplies. :-)
   
And, Laryn, I re-read your initial statement. You had 2 repeaters AND a 
computer on the same circuit, and it tripped? Again, what all was on that 
circuit? If the printer was also on that same circuit, you need to get it off 
the red and on the white. But even 100 watt repeaters with linear supplies 
should only draw 4 amps each on full load, plus 4 for the PC and display. 
Something else is on the circuit. Shame you can't take pictures. Check with the 
hospital electrician and see what's up. Good luck!

  Laryn,

Your thinking is good. A simple relay, 3 pole/double throw would do what you 
want and power the relay coil with your normal AC power. When it goes the relay 
drops out and connects the repeater to the RED emergency outlet.

As someone else suggested switch all 3 wires of hot, neutral and safety ground 
just to make sure you are not connecting something that you should not.

Some suggest runing the repeater on the RED emergency outlet and all else on 
the normal outlet. You need to check to see if this RED outlet is powered all 
the time and not just when the gen/emergency power is running. Since it goes to 
the generator it might not be. Easy to check by plugging a lamp under normal 
power conditions.

The only problems I see is the sudden switching back and forth that might occur 
quickly serval times in a short period. Like turning on/off the repeater power 
supply rapidly, but don't think this would be an issue.

 I have yet to see any station share their DTV channel with another

in Springfield, MO, new DTV 44-1 will be the NBC affiliate, while
44-2 will be the CW (and 44-3 will be Weather Now, I guess it's
a clone of The Weather Channel?)

  I was trying to prove or disprove our local (Joplin, MO FOX station
being simulcast on a DTV when they move, but I can't find it yet...
aah. Here, I found that the CBS affiliate, currently on 7, will move to
13, and Fox, currently on 14, wants to coexist on 13, but hasn't
gotten approval yet...

 So, there may be more content, but station WXYZ will still use the full
 6 MHz. If my local area is any indication, they will simply add channels
 such as full time traffic and WX. (like you need 6 channels of WX
 forecasts)

  Yup. Our local PBS stations will be running 4 channels on each of the
local DTV frequencies, the regular, the HD, Kids, and You. Eeh...

 I've still seen nothing to tie the DTV in with giving PS more spectrum.

  You sure it wasn't the fact that they want to vacate the 700 MHz

[Repeater-Builder] FW: Rogue cell phone has 911 on redial

2007-11-18 Thread Ray Brown
  Just wondering, I hope this is not an amateur repeater placing a 911 call
with an old bagphone...

_Ray_KBØSTN


November 18, 2007 5:30 PM CST

A rogue cell phone is not accepting calls, but it sure likes to dial 911
operators in eastern Iowa.

Operators at the Black Hawk County Consolidated Communications
Center said that they received about 400 calls from the same cell phone
last week and that no one seems to be on the other line.

That's it right now, said Dispatcher Chuck Hosier, as a phone rang in
the background. It will ring in, and it's an open line. Sometimes it rings
in and drops off.

Officials can't locate the phone but have figured out that it is an old line
not currently associated with a cell phone provider. Such phones, once
charged up, can still place 911 calls under Federal Communications
Commission rules set in 1994.

The cell phone can't receive calls, and emergency workers haven't been
able to track the owner through service records, either.

With this, we are pretty helpless, said Judy Flores, the center's 
administrative
supervisor.

Officials are suspicious that it could be a prank - but they say it's not funny
and potentially dangerous.

Until the source of the calls is found or they stop, dispatchers still have to
answer every call just in case someone is on the line with an emergency.

  One suggestion is to go to a simple ground plane antenna, and mount it upside 
down on top of your terminal building.  The gain in an antenna will concentrate 
the radiation out on the horizon, which is not what you want.  The upside down 
ground plane with no gain might be your best bet to have local coverage and 
have coverage directly beneith the antenna.

Also, there's no tone or digital code going out, just a carrier with

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT - Jeep Cherokee

2006-04-05 Thread Ray Brown
- Original Message - 
From: JOHN MACKEY [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I recently acquired a 1992 Jeep Cherokee with the 4L engine  4 speed
 automatic transmission.  Anyone have any experience to know if I should expect
 to have any RFI problems from this vehicle?

  I have a '91. It has a little bit of spark noise because they didn't put the 
right
spark plugs in it the last (actually, only) time I had the plugs changed.

 I want to put the following bands of radios in it:
 HF (10-75 meters)
 6 meters
 2 meters
 440 MHz
 902 MHz
 CB (11 meters)

 Any other advice from those who have had Jeep Cherokees for mounting radios in
 the Cherokee would be appreciated.

  Man... if you aren't running a 706, you're gonna run out of room unless you 
get one
of those professional rack setups like what police departments use. I have a 
FT-60
(6m only all-mode) and an Icom 2720 under the dash on the left side, I used one
long thick metal strip to grab as many screws under the dash itself, then I 
hung the
radios from the strip. I need to hang an APRS radio on the right side 
somewhere. :-)

  Good luck. Off to work. :-)

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Praise for the hams!!!! - Public Information

2006-02-26 Thread Ray Brown
- Original Message - 
From: N9WYS [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Maybe down south there has been a plethora of publicity, but up north here
 we seldom heard of the ham efforts, if at all.  It's as if its another
 world.  All the press is showing up here is how New Orleans hasn't overcome
 their problems yet.  They don't even talk much about Biloxi or Gulfport -
 just New Orleans...

  National Public Radio did a piece last Friday on people in Mississippi that
were affected much more by Hurricane Rita than Katrira. Surge tides carried
salt water up to 20 miles inland, ruining the ground so badly that even grass
won't grow on it, let alone crops.

 It's great to see and know that hams came together - after all, that's one
 of the reasons we're allowed such latitude with spectrum, etc.  And public
 service is one of the reasons I got involved in ham radio.  But the real
 story of amateur involvement in the Katrina ordeal has been lost to the
 masses - at least in my part of the country.

  Just as people in the South can't comprehend a massive snow- and ice-
storm that paralyzes parts of the country for days and weeks at a time. :-(
And there have been some Nor'Easters in the past that were pretty high on
the scale, but until someone's experienced it, they have no frame of
reference to compare it to.

  I guess I have a well-rounded experience level myself... I've been in a
bad ice storm where nothing moved for a week (Tulsa, OK, 1968), and
I've survived Hurricane Andrew (Miami, 1992).

  So, until everyone walks in someone else's moccassins, we will always
have a big load of indifference and apathy... I don't know, and I don't
care!

 Just my 2¢ worth...

  What do you type in for the cent? I hold ALT and type in 0216 to get
the Ø character. (need to remember the expanded ASCII character set)

Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF Power

2006-02-12 Thread Ray Brown
- Original Message - 
From: Paul Yonge [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 The policy of some repeater coordination councils to insist on a 100-
 mile co-channel separation for UHF (and 120 miles for the lower-
 frequency bands) regardless of the ERP seems like overkill to me.  In
 fairness, they do allow the consideration of terrain/ERP factors at
 locations below 3000 feet AMSL (and more stringent requirements for
 very high profile locations above the 3000-foot elevation).

 In the broadcast radio industry, we only worry about avoiding any
 overlap of the 60 db protected contour with another co-channel
 station's 40 db interference contour.  Is it time to re-think the
 coordination guidelines?

  Absolutely. I have an Elmer here (okay, he's only 4 years older than
me but he's a lifetime ARRL member and QCWA member) and he
was putting up repeaters back in the 70's. He's been trying, unsuccessfully,
for the past 5 years to get coordination on a 2m repeater because his
location is 97 miles from another repeater (in a different state) and the
other coordinator is holding real tight onto the minimum 100 mile rule.

  Where do we sign up? :-)

 If you intend to use it with your R100, the R100 should have the 25
 pin option connector installed and cabled to the QRN4314A interface
 board.  The patch connects to this connector.

  I picked up one of these to play with. It works, but it doesn't have this
QRN4314A's in place. If I want to connect a controller to the R100,
do I need one of these? Otherwise I guess I'll try to find how to hook

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Generator question

2006-01-14 Thread Ray Brown
- Original Message - 
From: Chuck Kelsey [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I have a 5KW natural gas generator at my house to serve as backup power
 to not only the house, but it keeps a repeater and my ham shack up and
 running.

  Congratulations. Not many folks do that. :-) I want to do that myself, but
having a total electric house, a 5 kw isn't big enough, I'd need a 12 to 15 kw
to run things here.

 During  cold weather, it doesn't like to start (manual start, pull
 cord). I fund that if I place a halogen work light pointed at it for
 about 10 minutes, it warms it up enough so it will start OK.

 My question is -- does anyone know of a small engine block heater out
 there? I've done Google searches and don't really find anything
 worthwhile. No, I don't what to use a light bulb. I want something
 that's safe, economical to operate and UL approved.

  It's a 5 kw running only on natural gas? I'm very familiar with the older
Onan gensets (I used to be a parts mananger for a motor home / industrial
business back in the 70's). I know they used to have a nice oil heater that
was for the NH and JC/DJC  models that would keep the whole thing at about
120F in its' enclosure, and that sounds like something you'd need.

  Either that, or check into the JC Whitney catalog and see what they offer
nowadays.

  If ya need more, chat to me off the list.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola R100 PL / DPL help

2005-12-04 Thread Ray Brown
- Original Message - 
From: Maire-Radios [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 there is the PL units and the DPL units   you can not mix them.  and only
 one tone per repeater.  also you don't need the rib.

  I got two questions on the R100. On the board that is attached to the lid, 
when you
unlock it and rotate it up, at the top edge, are spots for 3 switches. When 
Repeater
Disable is on, the LED on the corner lights up. I presume that that inhibits 
the entire
repeater. But there's a spot for PL disable (the switch is missing but there's 
evidence
that something was there). If a switch is installed and flipped on, will it 
disable the
PL / DPL ?

  And, I presume the big connector in the center of that same board is the 
connection
for accessories like a controller? I'd like to find how to connect something 
like an
ID-8 or maybe a NHRC-2 into it, mostly for Part 90 ID. :-)

  Thanks!

i will expand my search even more and turn in my finding to them. Does 
anyone have suggestions on how/who to aproach with this problem?

I just re-built a ge mastr II mobile for use as a repeater on 147.030+ and 
everything went great here on the bench.  when we installed the machine at

in TX and it appears right on the input 147.630. I have ruled out desense 
because you can hear the noise on a HT (on 147.630)  but only when the 
repeater is transmitting. I think this might be a mix of some sort but i 
have no clue what to look for. can anyone help point me in the right

  I don't know very much about the RC1000 except for these things:

  1) There's a Yahoo email group just for them;
  2) Use only the instruction sheet that came with the unit, as I've heard
that there are several variations on the RC1000;
  3) If you trying to dial 9 to connect, you must be trying to get thru a
PBX of some sort... you may need to force a comma pause after the
9 to acquire your second dial tone;
  4) Your PBX connection may be all digital or hybrid, instead of
analog, in which case the RC1000 may not be suitable for accessing
the PBX.

  Good luck!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Back up battery

2005-01-08 Thread Ray Brown

- Original Message - 
From: Eric Lemmon [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 That's a very good price.  Another possibility is to get year-old 12V
 26Ah SLA batteries free from your local hospital.  It must be a law that
 portable X-ray, cardiac defibrillator, and dialysis machines must have
 their batteries changed out every year.  Check with the Operations
 Manager at your local hospital.

  Not necessarily a law, just following the mfgr. guidelines...Some devices
are strongly recommended to change out the batteries every 2 years.
But yeah, find your local hospital's biomed or clinical engineering folks,
and you'll be in batteries for life. :-)

  The big winner will be getting the batteries from a GE AMX-4 portable
x-ray machine, which uses *9* 22ah 12v batteries, and all 9 are replaced
at once or the machine doesn't recalibrate well. But I digress. :-)

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Mitrek test set cable

2004-10-21 Thread Ray Rosler





Should have added that the orginal cable came with 
the right angle plug and a 11 pin plug on the other end, which then plugs into 
the cable required for the mitrek. coverts the 11 pin plug to the round 
metering plug for the mitrek

  I have the micor one with the test set already, which is retangular. The 
  mitrek does indeed need the round plug, which is the one I need.
  
  Thanks!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: VibraSponder Question

2004-09-18 Thread Jim Ray, Sr.
I don't think there is any difference. I really never plugged a small 
one into an older chassis that took large ones, but I build a lot of 
boards to convert older equipment to tone aquelch (Private Line) and 
used either type for those boards.

 Hello All,
 
 Is it ok to replace a TLN8381A (larger size) with a KLN6209A 
(smaller size)?  It plugs into the socket just fine but for obvious 
reasons, there is a lot of room to spare.
 
 Will there be any performance issues?
 
 Thanks in advance

[Repeater-Builder] Crystal pair...

2004-08-18 Thread Ray Brown
  Howdy, everyone. We *finally* got coordination for a moderate- to wide-
range UHF ham repeater. The repeater is a C64RCB-3105AT Compra.

  Does anyone here happen to have a set of crystals for it for 442.775 out,
447.775 in? If not, without starting up a huge debate again, in y'all's opinion,
who's the best people to send my set of 462.975 xtals in to for a new set?

  Thank you!

[Repeater-Builder] IC-746

2004-08-09 Thread Ray Rosler





Hi:
 I have a IC746 standard probably 
a very earlyversion. I will be placing a order with Dig-Key this week. 
They stock a part number UPC1678GV, and looking up the spec it states 2ghz 
meduim power amp. Icom part number is UPC1678G-E2.
In surfing the net re this part number's 
UPC1678GV and UPC1678G-E2, the specsare the same. So would I be ok using 
the item from Dig Key?
