Re: [inbox] [Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac receiver on 12v

[Steven Passmore, kf6fkk]

Thanks to all who responded on this.  I had only planned to run the receiver on 
12v as a diagnostic measure to isolate the power supply as the problem. Hearing 
that quite a few others have experienced the problem makes me relatively sure 
that the caps are in fact bad.

Bob M. If it isn't too much of a problem a scan of the pages you mentioned 
would be very much appreciated.

I wont be near the receivers until this weekend but will definitely take a look 
at the supplies.

Thanks,
Steve Passmore

Re: [Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac receiver on 12v

[Steven Passmore, kf6fkk]

Thanks, I'm not too concerned about the filtering as I will be running it off a 
battery for the test.  Do you recall whether the 12V input is fairly well 
marked? I don't remember seeing it when I looked for something like that 
although I was only looking at the backplane.

[Repeater-Builder] SpectraTac receiver on 12v

[Steven Passmore, kf6fkk]

Is it possible to operate SpectraTac receivers on 12v easily? I don't have a

two VHF units I have exibit a slight 60Hz hum in the audio. I'd like to try

[Repeater-Builder] DB201

[Steven Passmore, kf6fkk]

Anyone know if there are any differences between the Hi-band vs. the UHF 
versions of the DB201?  ie. can one tuned for 170MHz be retuned for 450? 
Looking at the drawings and specs they all seem to be the same with the 
exception of the low band ones having a longer support pipe.

Thanks,
Steve

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: folded dipole antenna id

[Steven Passmore, kf6fkk]

Thanks to all for responding about the antenna.  The harness on mine is a 
quite stiff but I don't see any cracks in it.  I'll try putting some power 
to is and see what comes back.  Hopefully it'll work and I can replace the 
diamond that's currently in use. I read a message in the archive that the 
only difference in the ham band version was the harness. I suppose it could 
be replaced but the unknown is what's under the 'insulators' on the 
elements.

Robert, I'd be interested in seeing the paperwork if at all possible.

73,
Steve

The only interface for IRLP is the card available from them. It's available

[Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac, 25w to 2w

[Steven Passmore, kf6fkk]

Anyone know if it's possible to mod a 25w UHF Maxtrac PA to the 2w version? 
Can the final be removed/bypassed so just the driver is being used?

I'd like to use it for a link but the darn thing folds back the power output 
after about a minute of TX no matter where I set the power level at in the 
RSS.

Thanks for the response Russ.

I got an email stating that all DB-411's were out of production. I still see 
it listed on their website though.   Is anyone using a 450 version on a ham 
repeater?  My site is on the side of a hill so an omni would just dump half 
the power into the hill.  I think the DB-411 looks ideal.   Comments and

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: I need to take 5 volts to 8 volts, and one have a schematic

[Steven Passmore]

I'm not advocating V7A's for link service or 
anything but they are available cheap on the used market because many of them 
have failing displays which cost more to repair than the radio's 
worth.
 
You can pull a "cos" out of them that follows PL by 
tapping the rx mute transistors for each speaker jack,   program 
one receiver for spkr 1 and the other receiver for spkr 2.   The rx 
mute transistors are surface mount LM3909's.  Schematics are available on 
the web.   Also you must leave the two volume controls cracked 
slightly or else the rx doesn't unmute

  That was a good point out, never gave that a thought, so now I will just 
  build 4 cor circuits to make them work, that will be easier than trying to 
  make 5 volts jump to 8, can just make a simple 10 or 8 volt COR circuit.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Sinple COS Circuit

[Steven Passmore]

If your talking about the TM-V7A/E The packet connector has a COS line, but 
for the record it is carrier only, PL has no effect.

If you need PL, it's hard to get since the CTCSS decoder is shared between 
the bands. The RX mute transistor can be tapped for CSQ+PL per band.

The service manual for this radio is readily available on the net

That's not quite true,   it only searches 151 messages at a time,  so if you 
wanted to search the entire archive you'd have to do over 300 searches

That only searches the messages on your computer, moose email programs have 
that feature built in too.   While I have the list mail from 10/03 on, the 
archive goes back to 1999
Anyone have all 47K messages?Maybe we could put them online somewhere as 
a "knowledge base" or something.

Skipp,  you might consider sending the list email to a regular email account 
instead of viewing it on the yahoo groups site. Even if it's just some 
freebie one.  Yahoo doesn't chop the senders address in that case.

His address is johneverson at sbcglobal.net

Hmm...  Last Swap meet I went to (Pacificon) was mostly boat anchors and 
parts for them.  about the only <50 Mhz stuff was some tband mastr II's.
I did find deal on a piece of heliax but other than that, pretty useless.

Anyone know if there are any swap meets in the SF bay area that have 
repeater goodies?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Speaker Level Mixing

[Steven Passmore]

How much less are you wanting to spend..  I've searched around the net and 
it's a fairly specialized item.  Using 1:1 transformers you'd have to buy 2. 
Given that, $14 doesn't seem too bad.From looking at the picture it 
appears the transformer is about 2"x1.75"x1.5" not counting the mounting 
ears...   definitely smaller than a coke can.

BTW.  Finally found it on the mfr's website

Maybe not the most compact option but you can just use a stereo to mono

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Mast Materials

[Steven Passmore]

I tried making a light pole using 3 10' sections of 3" or 4" (I forget)  The
couplings are a definite weak spot. The pipe is threaded at that point
making it weaker and the connection just isn't very rigid no matter how
tight you make it.  We ended up welding the couplings just to keep it from
flopping around.  I wouldn't trust putting anything substantial up there
without reinforcing the joints somehow.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] IRLP "TYPE" BOARD LOOKING

[Steven Passmore]

You might look into the commercial implementation of IRLP.
http://www.irlp.net/introduction.html It's point to point, IP based and uses
embedded hardware instead of standard PC's.   All of these systems including
the NXU-2 boxes you mentioned contain a computer of some sort.

I would stay away from the 486/echolink proposal though,  way too much
administration,  how would you like to reboot your link everytime microsoft
releases a patch.
