[Repeater-Builder] Need Micor 68P81014E15 manual

2005-05-12 Thread vesterscott
Anybody have a spare manual (or copy/PDF) of the 68P81014E15 
supplement for the  extender on the Micor T53RTA1404BA Mobile? I 
already have a basic 68P81014E40 manual OTW from eBay. Thanks.

Scott,

If you care to pass it to me at your Dayton table, I'll scan it when 
I get back to GA and then mail it back to you. Let me know.

 Vester,
 
 There is one in the Repeater-Builder library. The number of the 
one I have
 is 68P1011E95. It's a Motorola photocopy. It is for the VHF 
extender
 receiver and associated parts. I don't have it scanned into PDF 
though. I
 won't have time to scan it to PDF before Dayton either.
 
 If there is a volunteer, I would be willing to lend it out to be 
scanned and
 then make it available for the group.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Standard RP70U help? Thanks!

2005-03-20 Thread vesterscott


Mike, Brent, Jack...Great feedback.

The RP70U is currently on 456.825 in/451.8625 out. The modified 
repeater will be 445.800 in/440.800 out (if I'm lucky).

The advance warnings/tips you guys provided on the duplexer, mic 
connectors, manual, and volume/squelch controls will surely head off 
a lot of trouble.

An original Owner's Operating and Maintenance Manual came with the 
RP70U, But I have not yet compared it with what's at www.repeater-
builder.com. BTW, my scanner only goes to 8.5 x 14, so if anybody 
with a bigger scanner cares to add anything to the Files section 
from my manual that's not there already let me know at vesterscott @ 
bellsouth.net and I'll loan it to you.

Jack, is a flatpack duplexer like the small black Celwave mobile 
duplexers that pop up on eBay all the time? Don't believe I've heard 
that term before.

Brent, do each of the CTN34 tone boards perform both encode and 
decode. IOW, if I want the same tone in and out, will a single board 
give me full CTCSS for any given tone? I was not able to reach a 
firm conclusion on that from the manual and schematics.

 I can also use one more TN34 tone board if somebody has a spare

[Repeater-Builder] Re: New-be and question(s)

2004-07-30 Thread vesterscott
Russ,

Thanks for the plug, but it's undeserved. 

Ralph N4NEQ and Lin N4YCI developed the sum and substance of the 
current SERA 900 bandplan. Period. The pre-existing SERA 900 
bandplan was basically useless. Ralph and Lin did 100%of the 
research and compilation, basing it (perhaps) on a similar bandplan 
that had proven successful in CA. 

All I ever did was present a couple of simple (but obvious) 
coordination recommendations for the purpose of making more 
efficient use of the existing SERA 900 bandplan. Fortunately, this 
didn't require many brain-cells.

As far as I know, SERA has never publicly acknowledged that Ralph 
and Lin developed this valuable contribution to amateur radio.

Hello from KB 8 QEU
   
I just found this e-group.
   
In my area, Monroe County, West Virginia, I want to put up a 
1200 Mcsa
repeater with the purpose of using it as a hub to other 
repeaters on
the VHF and UHF bands.
   
The general idea is to have the 1200 rep to do all the iding 
and ops
while the linked repeaters be as half-duplexes with no bells 
n
whistles themselves.
   
However, I have yet to find any 1200 Mcs equipment.
   
Sugestions please.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: 900 mhz pa equip

2004-05-21 Thread vesterscott
I believe these are Class C, so they will work fine as FM or CW PAs--
probably at 100% duty cycle. They'd probably go like hotcakes for 
weak signal SSB if someone figures out a way to modify/use them in 
linear (Class A, AB1, AB2, B) service. It would obviously involve 
adding some bias circuitry, etc. 

I have a Motorola Purc 300W and a Glenayre 150W (both 900 MHz) that 
I'd love to be able to use that way. Way too much power for typical 
repeater PA use. Too big for paperweights or doorstops, wrong form 
factor for a boat anchor (and I don't own an ocean liner, anyway).

If anybody knows how to mod these things for linear service, please 
share it. Thanks.

2004-01-15 Thread vesterscott
I have a 242-9896-403 (900 MHz?). Any info/help/comments would be 
appreciated. Maybe by the time I get my stack of 86xx 900 MHz 
candidates on the air someone will have made a breakthrough with the 
9896-403. 

Of course, the latest news on the manned space shuttle's return trip 
from Mars to the Moon will be a constant distraction then.

[Repeater-Builder] Automatic fan cooling techniques

2003-12-06 Thread vesterscott
I'm on the Dallas Semiconductor MAXIM Engineering Journal subscriber 
list, and today received Volume Forty-Nine, which includes a three 
page article entitled Automatic fan control techniques: Trends in 
cooling high-speed chips. 

I cool the 30W Maxtrac PA's in my 900 repeaters by running them at 
15-18W and turning a fan on/off with PTT from the controller. The 
MAXIM approach has some neat ideas for more sophisticated people, 
however.

There's also an article in the same issued on Base station FR power 
amplifier biasing tha tmight interest some people.

Check it out at www.maxim-ic.com.

No, I have no connection with these folks other than being on their 
mailing list.
