[Repeater-Builder] OT: Suicom 2 way radio Transceiver recall - Ouch!

[ks4ec]

This was clipped from the web site
http://indonetwork.net/suicom2way_radio/1486669/ct-08-recall.htm




CT-08 RECALL NOTICE

Due to fault of design and distractor of components when manufacturing,
the CT-08 will probably cause explosion while operating. The possibility
is very high.



Sorry for any inconvenience caused.





DOH!





But they will give you 4x what you paid for it!

[Repeater-Builder] WTB - Cover for a Motorola 2001D service monitor

[ks4ec]

I am looking for the hard cover that covers the controls on the front 
of the monitor.

I think any in the 2001 series will fit.

If you have a spare or know someone who does please contact me off list 
at KS4EC at COMCAST DOT NET

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Somewhat OT - How to make HDTV *really* work

[ks4ec]

I am not sure what this thread has to do with repeaters, but here 
goes.
I found a list of my local stations with their digital "channel" 
numbers and the actual RF channel s they are transmitting on. You 
will find from this list that one has nothing to do with the other in 
most cases. I hope this solves the confusion!

Source http://www.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ for Zip 33414

Callsign - Virtual Chan - RF Chan
WFLX - 29-1 - 28
WPEC - 12-1 - 13
WPXP - 67-1 - 36
WPTV - 5-1  - 12
WXEL - 42-1 - 27
WFGC - 61-1 - 49
WTCE - 21-1 - 38
WPBF - 25-1 - 16
WFOR - 4-1  - 22
WPBT - 2-1  - 18
WTVJ - 6-1  - 31

As you can see the digital stations are not at the same Freq, some 
are way off. Most of the VHF low stations moved to UHF so "6 is not 
really 6" (don't have a 7 here), and yes you read right, 12 went to 
13 and 5 went to 12... dont ask!!

Just my 2c YMMV - Rob - KS4EC

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Good Repeaters for UHF Ham Band

[ks4ec]

did you have a preselector in front of the preamp, if not you just 
amplified the noise and any other signals in the band, effectively 
reducing your sensetivity, would explaine why it worked better 
without it.

[Repeater-Builder] FS: Midland UHF XTR 40W and 100W + Johnson 100W mobile radios

[ks4ec]

In my long search for UHF Midland XTR Radios I have amassed a large
quantity of Midland radios (And some Johnsons)

Here's a list, I have several of each model except the 526

Midland 70-526BXL may already be sold

Midland 70-1695B

Midland 70-1530B

Midland 70-1595B

Johnson Challenger Plus 242-7187

I have listed them on a new web site I found with prices

www.secondhandradio.com <http://www.secondhandradio.com/>

This site is free to list and free to sell buyers and sellers work out
their own arrangements for payment and shipping / pickup. I have no
stake in this site, just though it was a great alternative to Ebay.

Here's a direct link to my items

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Weather Receivers - follow up

[ks4ec]

I am actually working on this, this weekend. I am going to set the 
WX alert to interupt all traffic, but, use a simple * to shut it up, 
also since I can now tell weather it is a watch, warning, or 
statement from the alarm inputs, I may let a statement or watch get 
recorded and played when there is a break and only let warnings 
break in.

Still working out the details. My main concern in South Florida is 
tornados and severe T-storms, most else, like hurricanes we already 
know are coming.

When I get it working I can post a summary of what I did for all to 
see if someone would think it would be worth it.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Simulating a weather alert

[ks4ec]

OK I found the model number It is a 12-255, Here is a link to a pic 
and more info.
http://support.radioshack.com/support_tutorials/weather/12-255.htm

At first glance it says it will remain on for 5 min after an alert 
but if you look closer it also says

"...VOICE — the Weatheradio sounds an alert for
about 8 seconds, then automatically turns on the
weather (voice) broadcast for 5 minutes or until the
NWS transmits an ending sequence, whichever
comes first"


Another interesting about this radio is that the alert tone goes 
through a different audio path than the main audio so you can choose 
to either send the radio's siren or not.

I choose not to and use this time to send a Weather Alert message. 
In the past I have also added DTMF tones so people with ham radios 
capable of decoding dtmf to unmute could monitor the repeater and be 
alerted to severe wx.

Anyway works really well for me. I don't know if they are still 
available though

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Simulating a weather alert

[ks4ec]

Ron, 

I am not sure of the model number, I'll check when I get home 
tonight, it has a large LCD display on the front, it also has indoor 
and outdoor temp with a wireless remote thermometer.

Yes it does mute and the end of MESSAGE, not MONTH, hard to type on 
the treo, sorry.

It seems to work great, I mounted a DB9 on the back and fed audio off 
the input to the volume control. I have probed around to see if I 
could find a "COS" like alert signal but no luck so far.

I also have brought out the 3 indicator LED lines but I am not sure 
yet what state they change to when on. It seems that I am hardly ever 
home when an alert goes off and when it does and I am home I don't 
really want to be working on or near the repeater because the storm 
is usually over us!!

I will get and post the model number when I get home tonight. I know 
it is several years old.

As for RS sales people, they left part of their slogan off...

Remember... RS, You've got questions, We've got answers...Not 
necessarily the right answers but we'll make them up if it will make 
you happy!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Follow Up: R2001 Service monitor question

[ks4ec]

Thanks for all the responses.

I have posted the pics I have recieved of the unit in the pictures 
section under my call. 

http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/photos/browse/97ba

I hope to pick it up tomorrow, I don't have side pics but from what 
ya'all say it is probably not an A model.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the operation and service 
manual, electronic copy would be best.

Thanks again - you guys are the best!

[Repeater-Builder] R2001 Service monitor question

[ks4ec]

Sorry if this is a little off topic.

I have located what appears to be a Motorola R2001 service monitor, 
although there is no model number sticker on it.

I identified it by the pics on the net.

Does anyone know what the difference between the A-B-C and D versions 
is. and can you tell by looking at it.

Also everything I see on the net says this has a sweep generator, some 
say this is used for tuning duplexors.

I have heard of both a sweep generator and a tracking generator. I 
know you use a tracking generator but is a sweep generator the same 
thing just a different name?

Thanks in advance - Rob

[Repeater-Builder] DB 224 antenna for sale tuned for the 2meter ham band

[ks4ec]

Due to a purchasing mixup our ham radio club has this antenna for sale 
new in the box. It was ordered for the 2m ham band at 144-148, our 
repeater is at the high end of the band.

We are located in South Florida and I might be talked into meeting 
someone half way in South Florida to avoid shipping charges and 
problems, otherwise due to its size it will need to be sent freight.

This is a great antenna for a repeater as many of you are already 
familure with it.

Our club is asking $400 for this antenna but any reasonable offer will 
be considered by the board.

Please email me off list if you are interested at

[Repeater-Builder] Looking for a Site for our new club repeater

[ks4ec]

Cna anyone tell me where to start? is there a standard form letter to 
send to hi-rise buildings, or existing site owners?

I see from other posts that there are some comercial sites that have 
amateur rates, who are they?

I am in the West Palm Beach area and am looking for a site in north 
central Palm Beach county.

Thanks

Rob KS4EC
