Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectrum Communications SCR 77 UHF repeater
Hi Tim, Looking at our S-7R manual about the optional CWID, it is factory programmed. We use the id from our controller as the id source. Russ AE6UX wd4chs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am in need of or someone who knows anything about the CWID for a Spectrum SCR-77 UHF repeater. The CWID it has now functions good only it is not my call. From what I have read about this CWIDer you have to have the manufacturer "burn" a chip for you that plugs into the board. Is there any other way? Thanks, Tim WD4CHS
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Info on IFR1500
Hi Some of the 1500's had a GPIB bus connector on the back which looks like a parallel port-DB25. If you have that model, then all you need is a GPIB controller and some (major) programming and voila, you can have the output from your IFR. If yours doesn't have the GPIB then there is no provisions for any kind of output. Russ AE6UX Jed Barton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hey guys, Any way of hooking up the IFR1500 to a computer to email data from certain tests? In other words, can I hook it up to a computer so it can import the data to be emailed for someone to take a look at? Thanks, Jed
Re: [Repeater-Builder] pc-board design program wanted
Hi I use DipTrace quite a lot. It is a relatively new program, includes schematic, pcb, components libraries with custom capabilities, autorouting. It comes as a free 30 day trial, a light version and the full version is about $500 or so, 1/10th of the big guys. Free to check it out. Made many boards with complicated networks and very small footprints and am quite satisfied. Also the customer service is outstanding. The author responds within hours usually to quesitons by the user. Since is it new (1-2 years old), there are many requests for features which are responded to whether positively or negatively. I am very happy with the product. I own the full version.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Best Controllers
Hi,all Pac Res is still there and makes several, some ham-bound. We have 3 of the RI-300 series on CARA and they work acceptable. However, programming is very difficult and there is no real-time clock so whenever there is a power bump, the controller sends a "time not set" message with every id. In the programming, the code doesn't wrap around but merely steps onto the next line replacing whatever was there. A trap which is not difficult to avoid if you know it. Either put several calls to another address or plan ahead and leave some blank lines between each command set. Learned the hard way. My two cents worth Thanks Russ AE6UX --- "Jim B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bob Dengler wrote: > > At 2/10/2006 12:55 PM, you wrote: > > > >>J Hughes wrote: > >> > >> > >>>What are the best controllers out there ??

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Mountain Lion time!
For the cattle feed, you forgot to mention the paper grindings, plastic scrap(pulverized) and some metals which would go thru the grinders. My cousin lives near a feed processor and is amazed what is thrown into the cattle fodder..
