Re: [Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II PWR SUPPLY - What dies first?
If it is the factory supply it is the fero resonant one and usually it is the capacitor that goes bad. I remember the old days of the Goodyear Fest at Wingfoot Lake!! There was a time when it was the best fest in NE Ohio. Oh well. Times have changed - even Wingfoot Lake is for sale now. Sorry but you are a month late. I gave away one a few weeks ago. Hopefully you can find one local to the Akron area since they a so heavy. I will make a few phone calls later today - perhaps I can find one for you. 73 Dick Reese WA8DBW - Original Message - From: enjoyacold807 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 9:57 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II PWR SUPPLY - What dies first? Your basic GE Mastr II rack mount pwr supply (ref PL19D436272G1 Rev A) was part of club WA8UXP's 2m GE MastrII (base) repeater (146.985 Mhz) until it started acting up (a few years ago). Basically, the no load voltage looked ok. But, once the 100w PA kicked in the voltage swings made a sunami look like a placid lake. Ouch!! It was then replaced by Astron RS-35A. Now, the club has three (3) choices for the old fella being: boat anchor/scrap, try to fix, or hamfest sale as is. But option 2, hmmm, if economically repairable, maybe we could put it back where it belongs (w/ the repeater) and re-deploy the Astron. Ah, life, so many choices, so little time. BTW - Thanks for reading this far So, rather than spend countless hours finding & then pouring over service manuals for this (potenital) boat anchor we wanted to skip to the chase and leverge off the experience of others. If you've "been there, done that, and are willing to pass along words of wisdom" on this bear then we'd love to hear from you. What two or three things would you look for to fix in one of these power supplies? We promise, no response will go unread (honestly)...!

I pay $45 a month for electric to sustain two repeaters at one of my sites. In order to keep the site, I had to purchase a chunk of the land and build a building, so now there's real property taxes and maintenance to pay as well. And all the equipment is at my expense. And there are others I know doing pretty much the same thing. No club -- it's all out of pocket. Like I said, be happy you've got cost sharing. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - $30 to $50 a month electricity bill is a significant chunk of the clubs annual revenues. We do have money in the bank though. But these are all the kinds of numbers we are running through right now to figure out the best options.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Possible interference on 146.160
Bearcat IF was 10.85. Had same problem with 449.2 input of a repeater in Akron. It was a Bearcat 250 programmed for 460.050 Akron Police Frequency. You may want to check what you hear on 156.01 MHz.

I can't remember the IF freq for them right off hand. 10.8 or 10.7? Maybe even 11. something. I had one that was receiving a channel in the 150's range and every time it stopped on that channel it would lock up the 2 meter freq for the duration that it was stopped on the channel! Drove me nuts for a while till I stumbled on it one day. Lock channel out on scanner and problem went away. Just a thought. Mike KA2NDW

[Repeater-Builder] Motorola/Yaesu
Received this from a friend that works for Motorola. Motorola USA has announced its intention to launch a tender offer to acquire a controlling interest in Vertex Standard Co, Ltd. Vertex Standard is the parent company of Yaesu. Motorola will own 80 percent of Vertex Standard; Tokogiken, a privately held Japanese company, controlled by current president and CEO of Vertex Standard Jun Hasegawa, will retain 20 percent, forming a joint venture. The total purchase price for 80 percent of the outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis will be approximately US $108 million. R. D. Reese WA8DBW
