  The ojective is not gain amperage, I have plenty of that.  This one is
available for free to me, and is brand new.  This would release the 70 amp
Astron for use back in the ham shack for all the HF equipment, and would
serve also as a standby.  Since the repeater is the only unit in this shack,
unless the noise was present on the repeater, there is nothing else to
suffer noise.  The answer to the question has come, however, the final
result will be today when I switch them out and see if it brings any noises
to the repeater.

Relative example...
A room full of Motorola Repeater Stations in non constant
service costs about $30/month each to operate. Put the repeater
into lock to talk mode (IRLP or Echolink) and the energy cost
rises by almost a third (typical).

One of the energy soaks is the well designed and constructed
transformers within the repeater power supplies.

Replacing the hungry Motorhead Power Supplies cuts at least
1/2 off the power bill, which is much nicer when you're the one
having to pay it.

Many of the common 13.8 vdc switchers sold to the ham market
will hose up at least the 160 meter ham band no problem, which
is just above the am broadcast band I have on the shop when
XM is stale.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Battery backup

[Richard]

I had a similar experience: I had a couple of deep cycle batteries in an
outdoor steel enclosure that I would charge periodically by connecting a
standard automotive charger. At times I would forget it was connected, so
eventually the batteries were cooked. After some research on the web, I
settled on an IOTA DLS-15 power supply with an IQ4 smart charge controller.
It is connected full time to the (new) batteries, and I only have to add
water every couple of months. I have not noted any kind of noise generated
by the charger. This setup works very well for me.

  I have to agree with Dave. Using the proper charger or power supply for
keeping the batts up.  I have my batteries housed in a stainless steel
enclosure that is anchored into concrete outside my ham shack. I learned the
hard way about using the proper charger... I just tapped into my repeaters
25amp power supply to keep the batteries charged till I could make a
charging circuit ... a, big mistake. That charging circuit  - oops, I
forgot... about a month of operation,  I was working around the tower and
smelled what smelled like battery acid. Sure enough, I cooked both flooded
lead acid batteries and they were fuming acid vapor. Lucky the box is a
comercial built ss box.

  Now, after that incident, I have been using a marine (boat) "smart
charger" which automatically determines wether to charge or float. Since
battery chargers are, ummm, quite noisy and not all that nice on batteries
due to most of them only using a half wave recifier ( AC is not nice on
batteries ). I added a 25A bridge rectifier and added extra filtering which
is just a big Motorola mobile power filter block from the Micor dayz. It is
also isolated using some BIG diodes - like Dave's, the threaded case type
diodes which is bolted to a heatsink.

  The system is running well in this configuration. If using flooded type
batteries, do a monthly check on acid levels !   I recomend AGM batteries
( Absorbed Glass Mat ) or if that is a little pricy, get marine deep cycle
batteries - do not use automotive batteries unless you just absolutely half
to.

I have had good luck using a pair of diodes to isolate a power supply

The battery positive lead then feeds through a diode and joins
the "positive power bus" of my repeaters. Using a proper charger is the
most important part so you dont boil off the electrolyte in your
batteries.

The positive power bus is fed from a large GE power supply. The
positive lead from the power supply feeds through a diode to feed the
power bus.

The idea of using a diodes is to keep the higher voltage of the power
supply from passing current into the batteries when AC is available,
and vice versa when AC is off.

However, if you are using a high power PA or your repeater draws more
than about 20 AMPs on TX, you have to be careful of your choices of
diode. I use large feedthrough diodes, mounted on large heatsinks, but
on lower current draw you could get away with using a smaller bridge
rectifier mounted to an unpainted metal piece in your repeater cabinet
with some heatsink compound.

[Repeater-Builder] Sinclair Antennas

[Richard]

Has anyone lately been having quality issues with the Sinclair base
station/coliinear antennas over the past 5 or 6 years? Ever since they
abandoned their US mfg operations and moved their factory to Mexico...
changed their model numbers (for supposedly the same product)(dumb
move in my opinion)seems we have noticed some negative changes in
general quality. Internal harnesses have become intermittant, swaged
fittings come loose... all causing considerable IMD/desense and
general grief for commercial and amateur operators alike. When you
have repeater antennas on windblown icy mountaintops that are
basically inaccessable for repairs for 6 months of the year, you
cannot have this kind of thing happen...   

Anyone have experiences over the past few years? Particularly the 4
bay open dipole collinear variety of which we almost exclusivly use.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dayton Fleamarket space prices?

[Richard]

At the Hamfest that takes place during our EmCommWest ,
admission and space rent is free! It is small compared to the others, but
the price is right.

Joe,

Wow, this is weird, I got your reply BEFORE I got the message back from me!
Wonder what's up with that!  I heard something about the owners of the arena
want to discontinue the Hamvention and sell the property or something like
that.  That was two years ago the last time I was at Dayton.

One other thing, our local club here in Azle, Texas is working on our
Hamfest for this year.  I think the tables are about $10.00 and all
tailgating and fleamarket areas can and may be inside this year!  Something
is wrong with these prices.

I was going to make the trip this year since I have inherited a now bankrupt
two way shop, don't know now.  I guess I will but I really don't like it!

Paul

As I've told a number of people - it looks like they are trying to run it
into the ground. It's not dying fast enough for someone...

When you have THREE CARS in an entire section (the west one - farthest
from the arena) on Sunday, that says something.

I understand getting a reply from the committee is like pulling teeth this
year. In past years, confirmations were received the year before. I know
people who are STILL waiting on space confirmations and we're within two
months.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Decibel PDF files.

[Richard]

Probably they don't show up in a search because I put them up fairly
recently (couple of weeks ago) and they haven't been crawled yet. They are
there for all to use, and I will leave them there unless Andrews or someone
gripes. Some time ago I provided these files (and others) for inclusion on
the Repeater-Builder site, but I haven't seen them posted there.

The URL to the page featuring the articles we speak of:

Someone from the group was looking for the Harmonic

If you have Circulator Harmonic Filter Tuning Instructions

There is a version of Echolink (called EchoIRLP) that runs on Linux.
Installed on an IRLP box, EchoIRLP utilizes the same hardware and a few of
IRLP's scripts.

I have both running on my node.

Execpt IRLP runs in Linux and Echolink runs in windows...
There is a bridge program out there, poke around the www.irlp.org site a

  Is there a repeater controller that I could use to tie an Echolink

Re: [Repeater-Builder] mods.dk (possibly OT)

[Richard D. Reese]

Mike;

I am impressed!  It is remarkable that you would remember so much detail 
after all those years.  You are correct in that I had two HT-220's.  One on 
the police frequencies and the other on the amateur band.  I generally 
carried both and they were identical except the amateur band unit had a 
touch tone pad on the front.  On occasion I had three of them with the third 
one being in the DEA frequencies.  Great coverage on UHF with the DEA 
repeaters on the Terminal Tower in Cleveland.  I could get into the system 
from downtown Canton with the HT-220 and rubber duck!

I guess it pays to take time to speak with young people.  You never know 
what may result from a few minutes of conversation.  Thanks for the 
information.  It has made my day.

Perhaps We will see each other again some time.

P.S.  Danny and I often would do talks together and I would switch off and 
get a uniform car to impress the kids.  I guess I never realized how much 
effect it might have.  Danny is not in good health but his spirit is still 
good.

73 and take care.

  From a

  Connecticut emergency responders create communication device 
  
  Connecticut emergency responders say they have created a 
  first-of-its kind device that will allow rescue crews from several agencies to 
  talk to each other at the scene of an emergency or disaster, The Associated 
  Press reports.
  If the 
  invention proves successful, it could help clear one of the biggest obstacles 
  Homeland security officials have been trying to overcome since the 2001 
  terrorist attacks: the inability to communication across radio 
  frequencies.
  Dubbed 
  STOC, for "on-Scene Tactical Operations Channel," the device combines a radio 
  and receiver into a single box that instantly receives a signal from one 
  frequency and sends it onto another frequency, officials 
  say.
  Neighboring towns typically handle rescue communications on 
  different radio frequencies, hindering communication in a crisis. Many 
  municipalities around the country are trying to solve the problem by buying 
  new radios to get regional agencies on one 
  frequency.
  "The 
  beauty of the device is, we don't have to buy more radios," says Wayne 
  Sandford, the state's deputy Homeland security 
  director.
  A 
  prototype has been developed, another is in the works and state officials have 
  allocated nearly $2.1 million to build a box for towns across the state, 
  Sandford says.
  Sandford 
  adds that he believes Connecticut is the first state in the nation to develop 
  such technology. He said the state should know within the next few months 
  whether it is successful.

I 
agree... When I was a board tech, we would wash boards in a tub 
of organic cleaner. I can't remember the name of it, 
but we nicknamed it green death because it was pretty hard on our 
skin. After letting the board soak in it a while, we'd then take it out 
rinse it well, then dry it with compressed air. Never cleaned monitor boards 
though, I was nervous about getting water in or under the

I'd like to second Skipps comments and add one of my own. At the 
  factory we used ordinary dish washers (until we got the commercial washers) to 
  clean PC boards.  Most components are water safe. Exceptions, are non 
  hermetic parts like switches and transformers; things with paper or bakalite 
  coil forms.  Spic and Span is a little harsh. For general cleaning, 
  including automatic dish washers, useArm and Hammer baking soda. If 
  you think someone has used an acid flux (sometimes necessary to solder nickel 
  or steel) clean with ammonia before the baking soda. Finally if you have rosin 
  flux isopropyl alcohol works well. Don't use rubbing alcohol (contains water) 
  or use alcohol in the automatic dish washer (it will burn).Fred

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Looking for data on old heliax

[Richard Wilson]

Hey Jeff-  Just last year I had a similar problem.  The first thing 
we did was look through the old engineering data for the site.  In 
most cases, the sample lines should all be the same length, so if 
you shoot the lines to the other tower(s) with the TDR you can 
compute your own VF for the coax.  We did not have this data, and in 
my case, the coax to the other two towers proved to be not the same 
length, so, time to punt.

What I decided to do was shoot the bad line with a TDR from both 
ends.  Distance was about 200' from the shack and 75' from the 
tower.  We could ascertain the approximate path underground for the 
coax, se we measured out from both ends, and then had a gap of about 
5 feet.  We started digging at the measured end from the tower, and 
found the break within 1 foot from that point.  It worked out pretty 
easy after measuring from both ends.  We ended up with an open in 
the coax.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a 
splice for this stuff!  Try Gilbert Engineering, they do tons of 
CATV stuff, and may have something.  I loaned out my catalog so 
can't look.  They do have internet presence though.

___

Higher quality?  Just because they use tubes?  TAS lifetime subscriber?

But - to answer your question - you could build a tube type repeater -
it's your time to spend as you wish. 

Your best bet would be to search hamfests or go to the Dayton
Hamvention and try to find a copy of the "Radio Amateur's F-M Repeater
Handbook" by Ken W. Sessions, c.1969, and any other period literature
you can find. Once upon a time hams did make repeaters out of the tube
type stuff when it was plentiful on the surplus market in the 1960's.

You might also check with your local two-way radio shops - it's just
possible they may have an old tube type repeater sitting around that
hasn't made it to the landfill yet.  If not that - they might have
some old manuals for tube type repeaters.

[Repeater-Builder] HT-220 UHF

[Richard D. Reese]

Well I am cleaning out the parts drawers and I 
found a 5 watt amp for an HT-220.    It is older than dirt but it 
is good.  If any one still has an old 220 and needs the amp.  Let 
me know.  Remember it requires the OMNI case.
 
It is available for the cost of shipping.  
Otherwise it goes in the trash.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Telephone Co Lightning pucks

[Richard D. Reese]

About four years ago I had an old box on my home 
for my Verizon North telephone service.  It had the carbons inside from 
1969 when the house was constructed.  I started having noise on the lines 
and called Verizon.  Told them they  were bad and needed 
replaced.  They sent a man out who changed the box to one of the new modern 
ones .  No problem - no cost to me.  The only thing was the guy was 
new and I had to help him do it properly he did not know what carbons 
were!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Why Linear For PS?

[Richard]

Heh I think you're opening a can of worms with your question!

My opinion is that if you get a good quality switcher (like a Samlex), it'll
work fine. Some of the cheaper ones can emit rf noise, and that is why some
people will not use them. Switchers are more energy efficient, lighter and
at least as reliable as a linear supply. If it works for you, then great!

   Is there any reason that Linear (such as Astron) Power Supplies

very heavy to lug to the site where as switchers have similiar
capacity and are 10X lighter. I have been running a Samlex Switching

[Repeater-Builder] Re: midland 13-509 220mhz to convert to repeater

[Richard Velez]

I have  a spectrum 220 rec. It worked well in a site by it self. But
once I transferred it to the main site ful of wonderful pager Tx and
other com repeaters in the same site. Forgetaboutit. Regardless of how
much filtering. So we went to a Micor Rec. Problem solved.
Rich/N2ROW

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/29/05 11:58:18 AM >>>
Although the Clegg and Midland 13-509 radio mod to 
repeater convertion works ok, the receiver is fairly 
marginal for most busy repeater applications.  You'd 
do much better to buy a receiver designed for actual 
repeater operation. 

I like the preformance and output functions of the 
Spectrum 220MHz (and 145/440 bands) Receiver, 
but they appear to be a "dys-functional business". 

If you could get a receiver from Spectrum without being 
taken for a "Mr Toads Wild Ride" (Disney Land theme 
park ride), I'd say their equipment is worth at least 
looking at. 

I bought and enjoy the operation of a new Maggiore 220 
receiver, which also works pretty well. They also come 
high on the list of good 220 MHz receivers.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE Phoenix Radios as Links

[Richard]

You can get the recommended crimper for them that'll set you back in excess
of $80. Or, you can get an inexpensive crimper that will get you by, for
around $15 or $20. I'm not sure where you can get them, try an electronics
store or a tool outlet. Radio Shack sold them at one time, but I'm not sure
if they carry them now. Their new sales mantra is: "We Used To Carry That."

Or, if all else fails, you can crimp 'em with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Bend one ear over the wire, then the other, making sure the crimp is small
enough so that the pin will fit in the connector housing. Then you'll need
to solder the wire to the pin, as it won't be reliable otherwise.

What's the best way to crimp them?  Is there a tool for this and where can I

A good friend programmed mine.  144.390 and 145.030 for packet/APRS.  I need
to back off the power a bit but it works great!  He disabled the TOT on

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE Phoenix Radios as Links

[Richard]

Some additional thoughts...

On second thought, I don't think it would be a good idea to disable the
timer, rather set it for 6 or 7 minutes to protect the radio. I don't know
of a hardware timer, but there may well be one; I didn't see it mentioned in
the service manual, but I could have missed it. The service manual says the
timer defaults to one minute.

By the way, when you say you didn't program the CCT, did you leave the field
blank, or did you put "No" in it?

I use one for packet radio, and all the signals I need are on the rear
connectors. Do you need a pinout?

I have turned off all PLs to eliminate that possibility.  
I 'm having a conversation across the link when suddenly the

There are three repeaters that link into a common hub. I ahve

Doug,
 
Can you be a bit more specific regarding the drop-outs? Are 
these
momentary (1 or 2 second) drop-outs or are they longer in 
duration?
Are you using CTCSS or just COR. Finally, when you experience a 
drop-
out, are you seeing a loss of TX or just audio through your 
system.

one you get the idea.

Yes, you can connect two repeaters to it, and they will
repeat, but it's really obvious that the 7K wasn't designed
for the job.

I'd keep it and get a second, put one 7K on each repeater,
and cable the two port #2s together allowing them to link
to each other at will.  Been there, done that.

Or get a true multiport controller.

This is slightly off topic, but I wanted everyone to be aware of what is
happening to a NC man who equipped his Chevy Caprice Classic with ham
antennas. He is now *charged* with driving a car that resembles a law
enforcement vehicle. Apparently that is a law in NC.

Details here:
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GovtVShams/>

This will be my only post on the subject.
Please direct any discussion there.

This could be you if you have many antennas on your car (as many of us
do) and drive through NC in anything close to the same model car LE uses
(Caprice, Crown Vic, Intrepid, Impalla, Etc, or even any of the clones
such as Park Ave or anything based on the same frame).

RE: [Repeater-Builder] UHF Micor (mobile) spur

So, no one here has ever run into this before?  Really??!

I found and tested a third radio... same problem.

To restate what the problem is:  Micor mobile UHF T34...
when running in the ham band transmit low / receive high
they are spurring 910 kHz above the transmit freq.  I don't
know what would happen if the frequencies were reversed.

443.750T 448.750R  spur at 444.660
444.000T 449.000R  spur at 444.910

It's not a power supply problem.  The spur is generated low
level, not in the PA (it's somewhere before or at the
exciter mixer, Q305).  It's not the offset oscillator.  No
amount of tuning or de-tuning various stages has any affect
on the spur.

Yes, I can read them, it is actually a scan of the original manual. Online,

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Email from a repeater

[Richard]

You might be thinking of Winlink2000, but it doesn't use repeaters, although
I guess it could. It is very much like packet, but you would set up a node,
which could be a laptop computer and a radio, and you can send/receive Email
using your Email client (like Outlook). What it does (as I understand), is
your message will hop from node to node until it finds one with an internet
connection, at which point it enters the internet.

I've been through a couple of lectures on winlink, but I still don't really
understand it, and I think the only way I could is to build one. That isn't
likely to happen soon, with all the irons I have in the fire now!

point I agree with is that the store personnel have little knowledge of the 
merchandise they sell, except maybe for cell phones and batteries. This has been 
the case for many years. When I go to Radio Shack to buy a part, sometimes, 
when they ask, I'll tell them what I need it for (a repeater, two-way radio, 
etc), just for the satisfaction of seeing the confused looks or to 
impress them.
 
When 
Radio Shack stops selling parts, I'll have to mail order 
everything.

  Bashing Radioshack won't help, I've been a manager of one for over 6 
  years.  Most don't understand the inner workings of Radioshack.  
  They are a changing store, and it will be soon that they will not carry any 
  parts at all.  I'm told consistantly that my store knows more than any 
  Radioshack for within 100 miles, but then I play with this stuff for

  Cellphones.  From the inside, you now have the rest of the story.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: WEATHER RELATED STATIC

[Richard]

Actually I was referring to the static on the screen, but I believe you're
right about the direction of spin in the hemispheres. So what does the
static on the TV do during a tornado event?

[Repeater-Builder] TKR-850 PL on COS

[Richard D. Reese]

 
I have a TKR-850 that is hooked to an external controller (Link Comm. 
RLC-3) and I want to have CTCSS on COR.  Anyone know where to connect 
to mute the sub-audible tone generated in the TKR-850?  I would like to 
retain the internal CTCSS.  It currently encodes continuously and see 
no programming ability to do anything but continuously or none at 
all..I have the service manual but thought someone could save me some 
time and effort locating the spot.Thanks in advance.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Poor Repeater RX

Heh... Yes, it is interesting to have lived long enough to have seen
changes, but it is also good to go along with those changes instead of
staying firmly mired in the past. As I recall, the cycle-hertz change was
made sometime in the 60s.

This has to be OT for this group but the proper conversion would be:

KiloCycles per Second = KiloHertz.

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember "time before KiloHertz" . . . . or
maybe its fortunate I've lived to be that old.

[Repeater-Builder] GLB / MRF-901

[Richard D. Reese]

I have received many requests for the GLB transistor.  I only have two left 
that are not promised.   I will give them to anyone that is willing to make 
a donation to OMIK Scholarship Fund.

The transistor is a BFW92 which is a drop-in replacement for the obsolete 
MRF-901.  I have a PDF data sheet available to anyone requesting it.  I have 
been told that a 2n6621 will also replace the MRF-901 but I have not tried

Re: [Repeater-Builder] A Good 440 Anttena

[Richard D. Reese]

Chuck is correct.  The 413 is 18 ft 4 inches long and is rated 12 dB gain 
and rated to survive 1/2 inch ice at 90 mph.

The 411 is 9 ft 5 inches long , 9 dB gain 112 mph wind with 1/2 inch radial 
ice.
The 408 is 6.6 dB gain and will survive with 1/2 ice at 85 mph.
The 420 is 9.2 dB gain 18 ft 1 inch long and rated to withstand 70 mph with 
1/2 inch ice.

They are all good in my opinion.  I have used them all including the DB-404 
and they have survived the NE Ohio winters.  even with the 420 top mounted 
on towers but there is a lot of flex at winds above 60 mph.  I never had an 
antenna bend but did have on installation where the 420 was top mounted and 
the pipe that it was clamped to bent during a storm with gusts in excess of 
70 mph.

As far as which antenna to use - It depends on the installation, HAAT, top 
mount, side mount, omni pattern, etc.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] IFR FM/AM-1200S Service Monitor Operating Manual

[Richard]

I had a few requests for it, so I'll post 
the link here. It's too big to Email (over 
9 Meg!), so I put it on my web site. The link is in the left column, bottom. One 
thing I'll mention is the the page order is messed up, so I ended up 
sending it to Kinko's online for them to print (single sided). I got it in the 
mail a few days later and spent about twenty minutes reordering the 
pages.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 440 4 Pole Antenna

[Richard D. Reese]

Well, Thanks to Gerald, Mike and of course you 
Chuck.  It is good to know the old memory is still somewhat lucid!  I 
should have known to check Kevin's site - it is such a wealth of 
information.  I looked at the PDF and I wasn't too far off on the date 
September 1987.  Lasted almost 20 years.  Only replacing the harness 
and mounting clamps now. 
 
Chuck, somebody on this list is getting old!!  
And yes I guess I also have never built anything either...
 
73 to all and have a great Easter Weekend.  My 
sister and brother in-law are due to arrive here in a couple of hours.  We 
have an Easter get-together planned so things will get hectic on this 
end.
 
Rich

  Yes, you are correct.
   
  But now I have doubts that we actually "built" those 
  antennas ;-)
   
  I had to buy the aluminum rod for the elements and 
  the coax to make the harness instead of manufacturing it from scratch 
  ;-)
   
  Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Repeater-Builder] 440 4 Pole Antenna

[Richard D. Reese]

I hope Chuck Kelsey sees this - - -  

 
About 15 or twenty years ago there was an article 
published in either Ham Radio or perhaps 73 magazine on the construction of a 
440 4 pole antenna.  It was written by Chuck WB2EDV if my memory is 
correct.
 
I built one for a friend and he has removed it from 
his tower for maintenance.  He is now ready to place it back on the tower 
legs and asked me what the spacing is between elements.  Well I cannot fond 
the paper work.  I think it was 23 inches on center.  Chuck, is that 
correct?
 
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Member Deleted?

[Richard D. Reese]

Kevin and all;

I am not often moved to post as I try and remember that which was told to me 
as a child - "Richard, you have two ears and one mouth so it would behoove 
you to listen twice as much as you talk.  Also be mindful of the fact that 
the ears are always open and can except input at any time.  However, the 
mouth has a flap on it and it is ok to close it occasionally."   With that 
in mind I will try and be as brief as possible.

I am surprised at the implementation of a poll to decide ones continued 
membership.  I believe the decision should be made by you as the list owner. 
I am of the opinion that whomever is determined to be disruptive to the list 
or, continues to use the list to promote that which is not related to the 
purpose of the list, should be warned to cease and desist.  They should be 
told what the consequences will be in the event they fail to comply.  If 
that person continues then they should be banned from the list.

I liked Doug's posting regarding free speech.  It is refreshing to know that 
in this day of so many being concerned about "political correctness" that 
there are some (Doug Bade) that have not lost site of reality and that which 
is right or wrong when it come to force-feeding ones beliefs and opinions on 
another.

There are many on this list involved in communications as a business.  Doug 
and his dad Cliff W8CJB, own Cleveland Communications and I have never known 
them to exploit their membership in this or any other list as a means to 
promote their business interest.  While we all may be grateful for a 
business owner to mention goods or services that they may be able to provide 
to list members, there is a fine line that should not be crossed except on 
rare occasions.  I believe that line has repeatedly been crossed by some. 
Those that are guilty should be warned one time. As stated in the first 
paragraph, if they continue then banishment is in order.

Now I go back to the listening/reading mode.

73 to all

Rich  WA8DBW
