[Repeater-Builder] 100th Anniversay of the Fleming Valve
Just in case you wonderful readers didn't know. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the invention of the "Fleming Valve" also known as the "TUBE". In 1904 Sir Ambrose Fleming patented the Valve Diode and thus led us faster down the path of electronics. So Happy 100th Birthday for the VALVE! Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TS-32 modification
Many times the problem is not with the decoder but by the way it is fed. Make sure you have a DC blocking cap in the circuit or you will slow everything down when a received signal comes up as there will be a DC shift on the line that will swamp the decoder inputs.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TS-32 modification
Yes but if you look at the input when the signal starts they still may be a charge voltage coming up, which swamps the cap when charging it and delays the actual action. Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Tait t800
The T800 is a series of tait repeater. They are very high spec and well built and modular. We have used them for everything under the sun, repeaters, links, paging transmitters and the such. I've used them on VHF Hi Band, UHF , 800 and 900. I also had one on 220 that I sold to a friend who has it operating on the 220 ham band now (it was on 217 nbfm). Depending on configuration and power levels the price will vary, but they are competitive for what they are...more expensive than Kenwood but cheaper than Motorola. Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Tait t800
The last used one I sold with the 100 watt amp and switch mode power supply all in the rack frame went for $800.00. This is the Sierra Series...the synthesized ones that came out in about 1991. The early ones you had to blow a 27c256, the newer ones have eeproms and they can program from the RJ jack on the rear of the frame. Gregg R.

Approximately equivalent to the old 2nd Class license, the GROL is only needed for aviation, marine, and international public fixed stations. These days, one does not need any license to work as a tech at a broadcast station, radio or TV. The FCC put the responsibility for proper operation of a station's transmitter in the hands of the station licensee, and leaves it up to them to hire competent techs. This was part of deregulation back during the Reagan Administration. I'm not aware of any database for commercial licensees, but if there is one, I'd guess either the FCC, NARTE, ISCET or NRE might likely post it on the web.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: dB compariisons
You are correct the standard is 50 µV for a S9 indication, and you are also right most ham rigs are way, way, way off. Except for those we build ourselves. My HF rig shows exactly S9 for 50 µV. But that is the only thing nowadays that could be considered standard. The S meter is run off the AGC circuit controlling the gain of the IF amp in most radios. However how that is created is different in all rigs and the variation from S9 either lower or higher will probably not be calibrated. Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] MSR2000 PA out - again...
Have you done any troubleshooting yourself to find out what is failing. Did you go thru the troubleshooting routine in the manual. I've found that MSR amps are very good and only fail very rarely. I've seen the Choke feeding the power to the mid level amps have a bad connection...you'll read the voltage on the collectors in idle, but when you go to TX the voltage will go away. I've seen this on a number of amps of the 2000 series. I've also seen people repair these by replacing the transistors in the mid level amp, and of course it works for a while because they disturbed the choke and got a decent connection again. But the only real way to repair it is to remove the board and remove the choke and clean the leads and reinstall it and make sure it is well soldered. Gregg R.

I have an MSR2000 on 444.550 for the local ham club / county EMA. The PA (a 110W model) is out again. We just had this repaired by the local Motorola shop, with whom we've had very good results from in the past. We're running the PA at about 80W, so I'm thinking we didn't "burn it up", but I can't help but wonder if there is anything inherently wrong with the MSR2000 PA for UHF. This is the third time the PA has failed in this particular machine in about a 2-year time frame. (This was a repeater originally tuned for 460 MHZ, and brought down to the ham band.) This particular machine has been a pain in the @$% - RX sensitivity isn't what it should be, PA keeps going out, etc. Seems like we're up at the site every couple of months do make some sort of repair on it. I'm wondering if we should just cut our losses and get another machine, or should I keep plugging away at this repeater? If we do decide to chuck it, how much can I expect to spend to get a comparable replacement - we use this machine during severe weather season for forwarding reports to the NWS, and it's open other times. We want to add remote RX sites (you've probably seen my inquiries about those in the past) but I don't want to start adding remote RX sites until I get the main repeater working reliably.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
Being a retired dealer that used to sell them to hams$1000 to 1100 is a good price. The list price is 1500 + and we always did ham clubs at or around 1000 including programming and alignment. They are excellent repeaters, when I sold my business I had 18 channels of Narrow-Band UHF trunking using 850's with TPL amps putting out 110 watts. We never had a failure and some of the sites were extremely busy, so much so you would think hams were talkingI'm talking large fleets of school busses, 125 or so busses to each dispatcher, so they would run continuous for 2 or more hours at a time.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters
I was a Kenwood dealer for over 20 years before I retired and from day 1 (1983) when Kenwood brought their landmobile line into the states, they had a very definitive policy. It wasn't as strict as some of the newer contracts are trying to enforce, but the contracts I signed had the following 2 things: What is your general business area (usually defined by counties) and #2.was all sales must be face to face...in other words the beginning of making sure the products weren't sold wholesale or via means such as the internet. Now this didn't preclude me from selling products in Venezula, St. Croix, St. Thomas, Idaho, California and many other places. I sold the product and may have shipped it, but I had met with the customer either in their location or in my location. So even being in Wisconsin I was able, LEGALLY, to sell any place I wanted to, and this fit the letter of the contract. I sold repeaters to Ham's all over the USBUT...I did meet with these persons at one time or another...whether it be a swapfest of Hamvention or even by accident on vacation. The reasoning behind Kenwood and other manufacturers policies is not a restraint of trade, but in essence was developed to make sure the customer got the best of service. These companies that sell other brands of 2way via the internet and other means have no way of offering the support a local dealer can. And I'm not talking just Service, I'm talking all the support they need...licensing, access to tower sites and on and on. These contracts are LEGALLY binding (at least in Wisconsin), because I never signed one until my lawyers looked them over and gave me their legal opinion. There were times when certain lines we sold required us to sign contracts that weren't legal and our lawyers pointed this out and x'ed out the offending sentences and paragraphs. This was never a problem as they were accepted after the modifications when the contract company checked State laws in the state we were doing business in. In summary: I don't think Kenwood cares if hams buy TK850's or any other gear from a Kenwood dealer out of their area. This is a very small percentage of the dealers sales and really don't impact the spirit of the contract. 73, Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood 850 UHF Power level
First off yes, you can adjust the level to any drive power you want to drive an amplifier. We have put many in the field driving amps at ranges from 5 to 15 watts. As far as the sensitivity goes.the spec of .35 is conservative and usually is better, but what really helps is that the selectivity is very good on these units. You won't be sorry to toss out the Hamtronics for an 850. Gregg R.

This is for the same quieting (12db). Or is it safe to assume that in the real world the Hamtronics' sensitivity falls to about .35uv with a stiff level of rf hitting it whereas the Kenwood may hold steady at .35uv? Thanks for the info!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeater
Steve I think you have more than a problem with Kenwood…it's either your dealer or the way the situation was handled. I was a Kenwood dealer for over 20 years (retired last year), and Kenwood was always responsive to our needs. I've had "LEMONS" from every manufacturer including Kenwood and never had a problem with them replacing the unit…no matter what it was…if I said I wanted it exchanged..they exchanged it. There has been a lot of talk of buying from Kenwood Dealers that don't service their equipment but send it in to the Depot. Personally I would never deal with a company that didn't have the technical expertise to maintain and repair the equipment they sold. We always repaired all the equipment we sold "IN HOUSE", except for DOA's which we promptly got an exchange for the unit or a credit to our account. So all of that said…I really don't think Kenwood was the problem….it was whoever was in-between and apparently whomever you purchased the unit from apparently is one of these companies that doesn't "SERVICE WHAT THEY SELL". If they can't service it, then they shouldn't sell it…..end of story. Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] low band repeater
I currently have a 6 meter repeater on the air, we also have a 10 meter but it's not currently up. The 10 meter was split site using a UHF link but the 6 meter we have up is using duplexors. It is a MastrII and works very well with a 1 meg split (53.03 out, 52.03 in), we modified a 46 meg loop antenna (DB products) and built a new phasing harness and it works very nice. It's about 180' up the tower face of a 260' tower so we do have some pattern distortion as the antennas are leg mounted. At the same site we have 444.850/449.850 running a 1/4 K and the that antenna is top mounted. The coverage is a little better on 440 without any pattern distortion, but otherwise the coverage is equal. However in low spots where there is shading and the UHF doesn't work, the Lowband does and there are situations that are the complete opposite where the UHF works and the VHF doesn't .

I have tried the TLN6824A encoder reed in place of the TLN8381A decoder reed but gave that up quickly as the closer coupling in the encoder reed caused the reed to falsely decode on incoming noise bursts in the decode mode.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Low Band Repeaters
Anyone that is eligible for low band frequencies can apply for a pair (thru coordination) and operate a low-band repeater. It isn't just Public Safety or Utilities any more. Gregg R.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood TKR850 external controller hookup
If you look at the schematics you will see that the data input has a low pass filter and you'll have horrible audio. We never had a problem using the proper audio inputs on these repeaters they sound very flat and natural. Make sure you have the drive levels in the proper range and are not cutting back on the input controls to the repeater. Gregg R.

Looks like data input is designed for PL/DPL and may not work. I heard someone mention that the audio sounds thin on this repeater so I thought the data in might be better. Data output looks like it should work ok. Again, I assume that is discriminator audio and that is what I normally use anyway. Thanks for any advise...looking forward to interfacing this repeater.
