[Repeater-Builder] GE MII high power metering

2010-08-31 Thread Scott Zimmerman
Fellows,

Looking for a metering panel for a high power GE MII or MPro station. 
These are found on the cabinets housing the 330W tube-type PA's. I have 
a few PA's around, but no metering for them. I'd like to find enough 
panels to make all my PA's complete.

It makes no difference if this is from a Low-Band, VHF, or UHF high 
power station.

Let me know what you've got and how much $$.

Thanks,
Scott

[Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II Repeater Module

2010-08-26 Thread La Rue Communications
I have here a GE MASTR II Repeater XMTR Control Module p/n PL19D416660G6 REV A. 
I am more familiar with Micor Parts and Components - so I need a little 
guidance here. I recall seeing some MASTR dialogue recently, which is why I 
felt compelled to post here.

Couple questions...On the p/n are the 0 (Zero) and O (Letter O) interchangable, 
does it matter? Just trying to figure out why Google doesnt turn anything up.

Second question - are the modules band specific?  

Im currently looking through the TIP but I dont even know where to begin! THats 
the cool thing about RB.com - so much information :-)

Thanks in advance!

Drop the PL as it is not part of the recognized part number. and a zero is
used in that part of the part number of a ge part.. 

19D was followed by 6 numbers beginning with a 4 or 9 and then a G or a P
and up to 3 more numbers.

 

In this case 19D416660(zero)G6

 

And I get several google hits..

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II Repeater Module

2010-08-26 Thread Eric Lemmon
John,

The 19D426660G6 module is intended to be used for transmitter control in a
Mastr II two-frequency tone control base station.  The manual that covers
this specific module is LBI-30709.  Unfortunately, the RBTIP GE Index does
not have this LBI in its files.  To the best of my recollection, yours is
the first and only request for that LBI.

A standard GE part number comprises six digits between the D and the G.  We
Americans have become sloppy with regards to the digit zero and the letter
O.  Sports fans talk about the score being O to one, we have military
equipment that is Mark 1 mod O, and we dial O for Operator, where O in
these examples is assumed to be pronounced OH.  But, most phones have the
zero button labeled operator, and dialing the letter O is actually the
digit 6!  I guess I'll just take Highway 101 to Los Angeles for the next
Hamfest- that's Highway One-Oh-One, not Highway One Hundred-One, or Highway
One-Zero-One.

Re your second question, no.  These are tone control modules that do not
care what RF frequencies or bands are involved.

here is what the radio looks like. The 0 could be an 8, the data plate has a

This is a tough one. The Y prefix indicates an RCC duplex radio, and the

They usually tune up fine.  I have taken several of the 90 watt transmitter

the coupling with the final has to be slightly fiddled with to get a better

Bill,

The 19D417955G3 power amplifier is for Mastr II stations, and is designed to
cover the 36-42 MHz split with 50 watts of power.  The manual that covers
this particular PA is LBI-4732.  Unfortunately, this LBI is not among the
hundreds indexed in the GE LBI listing on Repeater-Builder.  If any reader
of this list has a clean and complete original paper copy of LBI-4732, and
is willing to lend it to the RBTIP scanning team, please contact me directly

[Repeater-Builder] GE Power Supply 19A149978BP1

Anyone familiar with this beast?
It was installed with a MastrII station, but it's putting out 16VDC.
It's a newer supply 3RU/Black Front.   Looking inside I'm not seeing 
many options for getting the voltage down.
Repeater-Builder.com has a couple of references to the Power Supply in

that someone stuck in at some point.

Please share with the Group the details of the failure.  Was the PA properly
modified to operate efficiently at 6m, or was it a stock 42-50 split PA?
If not, at what power level was it being used?  If the PA was unmodified and
being operated well outside of its intended band, I guess the tried and

[Repeater-Builder] GE Rangr 150 - garbled audio when squelch tones are on

2010-05-18 Thread tec1122000
I own 4 GE Rangr 150s. 2 of the 40 watt and 2 of the 110 watt. They transmit 
and receive beautifully without the Call Guard tones turned on. The deviation 
is a little low and won't allow me to get full 4.75 kHz deviation, but the 
audio quality is perfect. When I turn on the Call Guard tone to use a repeater, 
there is a bunch of noise added to the voice audio. I am thinking that if I 
have 4 radios doing this, then someone else must have seen this problem before 
and hopefully has some answers. This radio doesn't have a separate tone board 
as some evidently do. The tones are created in the CPU and sent to the audio 
circuitry on the WALSH BIT lines from the CPU. Has anyone seen this before?

I have adjusted the deviation pots (one for the PLL, one for the exciter) and

Re: [Repeater-Builder] GE Rangr 150 - garbled audio when squelch tones are on

2010-05-18 Thread kevin valentino
It is deffinately an electrolytic. look for a radial type with a slightly 
convex top I forget exactly where it is, been a while since I worked on 
those. When an electrolytic is going bad, or is bad, one sign is the swelling 
on the top. they usually swell just before they short. Test with a good DVM on 
the continuity range. it should beep until the cap charges, reversing the leads 
will make it beep until it discharges. (usually on a value of 4.7uF or more) 
continous tone means it is shorted. compare time of charge/ discharge to a 
known good cap or of course use capacitance meter if you have one. look in the 
discriminator line from the receive through the tone circuit itself. Also seen 
same with just bad solder joints.

I own 4 GE Rangr 150s. 2 of the 40 watt and 2 of the 110 watt. They transmit 
and receive beautifully without the Call Guard tones turned on. The deviation 
is a little low and won't allow me to get full 4.75 kHz deviation, but the 
audio quality is perfect. When I turn on the Call Guard tone to use a repeater, 
there is a bunch of noise added to the voice audio. I am thinking that if I 
have 4 radios doing this, then someone else must have seen this problem before 
and hopefully has some answers. This radio doesn't have a separate tone board 
as some evidently do. The tones are created in the CPU and sent to the audio 
circuitry on the WALSH BIT lines from the CPU. Has anyone seen this before?

I have adjusted the deviation pots (one for the PLL, one for the exciter) and 
still can't get the deviation up to spec. I am getting about 2.75kHz.

I have the manual and have studied it thoroughly. My guess here is that I have 
a failing component such as a capacitor that is reducing my audio. Just wanted

[Repeater-Builder] GE amp

Hi everyone.  I went to the Des Moines Hamfest and one of the bargins I brought 
home was a GE amp that was to be a UHF 75 watt.  I am thinking it is not but 
wanted to seek your input.

Inside it is marked 19D424266G1  and also 424583G4.

I did a search and it looks like it is maybe a 110 vhf instead.  Anyone 
familiar with this and know what it is before I power it up and see where it 
likes to play?

Assuming they are kind of a two tone beige GE Master II cabinet, you will
require a GE1000 key.

 

Any local two way shop would have several in desk drawers.  It would be
faster and cheaper than mailing one to you.  A locksmith that has been in
the business for many years might even have one in his bin of keys.

The docs for both the black front and the grey front
voters can be downloaded as PDF files from
www.repeater-builder.com
Look for the LBI page off of the GE page.

It's been over 8 years since I touched a grey voter,
but I think they run the lamps off of a separate
voltage buss than the audio circuitry and there
MAY be a separate lamp fuse.
Download the LBI and look at the power supply card
schematic and the backplane schematic.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GE MastrII CAS vs. RUS vs. RX Mute?

2009-12-18 Thread Jeff DePolo

I also recall that the source Z of CAS and RUS isn't the same (I'm pretty
sure CAS is lower than RUS), maybe somebody can confirm.  And doesn't RX
MUTE only source current, not sink?  I thought there was a protection diode
in series with the exposed RUX MUTE line to prevent someone from sourcing
current back into it, but maybe I'm thinking of a different radio (Delta?).
Don't have a manual in front of me, maybe someone else can confirm or deny.

[Repeater-Builder] GE MastrII CAS vs. RUS vs. RX Mute?

2009-12-17 Thread kk2ed
After looking over the LBIs and performing a few conversions, I have a question 
regarding which everyone feels is the best source for a CAS signal into a 
repeater controller - CAS, RUS, or RX Mute.

In regards to a COS source, I see a number of publications and sites recommend 
CAS, then I see a few others using RUS, and looking at the schematics, it 
appears RX Mute may not be a bad choice also.

As originally configured, per the LBIs, a Channel Guard configured MastrII 
would trigger CAS with a carrier squelch signal, and RUS would only go active 
with the proper PL tone present. But once the Channel Guard board is removed, 
is one any better than the other for cos usage?

Assuming C630 is in place on the IFAS board, does only one of the above sources 
afford the dual speed squelch action, and the others not, or do all three 
provide the same dual-speed muting action? Looking at the IFAS schematic and 
squelch chip block diagram, it is not very clear.

Also assume the PL detect signal has been isolated from the squelch circuit, 
and only feeds the external repeater controller, so there would be no 
interaction regardless of PL being present or not (similar to removing JU202 on 
a Micor AS board to isolate pl from causing the squelch chip into long mode 
whenever pl is present).

Those loops as you refer to are actually inductors of a very small value. 
They are in all intent a passive component. The size and shape derives the 
inductance value. If you burned one out you were definately sinking some heavy 
current, check your output transistors as you prob cooked at least one. Check 
all bias resistors as well. Did you have the thing fused?

 Dave 73

There were different sized PA's available in the mobiles. What's your 
combination number stamped on the front of the rig? That'll tell what it 
originally shipped from the factory as.  Most were 100W, though.

The failure at the jumpers between the boards is common if you're not driving 
the PA into a perfect 50 ohm load.  The late model station (not mobile) PA's 
added a Z-matcher to the Low-Pass Filter section of the PA for this reason.  
Also, as someone else mentioned, those jumpers can act as inductors to some 
extent (although I disagree that they were intended to) and one of them burning 
up can be an indication that there's problems upstream on the high-power 
board.

The fact that it burnt up makes me think you have at least the 100W 
NON-continuous-duty PA.  Most of the others don't have enough oomph to fry 
that connection between the high-power board and the LPF.  Most people install 
fans on the mobile version of the PA's heatsink when using them in repeater 
service. 

The GE MASTR II PA can become spurious at low power levels, starting somewhere 
USUALLY around half power and down.  Your PA may have burnt up because of that 
also (it will draw INCREDIBLE amounts of current as it tries to put out 100W 
on/near your main frequency and spurs all up and down the band.  Get a spectrum 
analyzer on it.  Turn it up from 45W (usually we run our 100W PA's at 75% power 
or greater) and since it's a mobile, get fans on it so it'll stay cool.

Also, I highly recommend a Z-matcher or better yet, and isolator on the output 
of MASTR II PA's.  Give them a 50 ohm load and they'll usually run forever. 

And if you can, there's TONS of stations on the used market these days as 
Public Safety heads for narrowband and/or digital stuff.  Take your exciter, 
receiver, and all the guts from that mobile that are already tuned up for 
your frequency and stuff 'em in a station/repeater chassis with a non-fried UHF 
PA, and you'll have years and years of service from it...

LBI-30201, here:

Dave is operating the radio at 441.900 MHz.  Dunno what mods have been made
to optimize operation outside of the 450-470 MHz design band.

I've had this happen a couple of times.  On the TX side I was trying to 
move the exciter down to 144.39.  Tried a couple of exciter boards until we 
found one that made it down.  If it's the RX you're having trouble with 
make sure you follow the pre-tuning instructions in the manual.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GE Mastr II Info

2009-11-01 Thread Eric Lemmon
Brian,

I think the first A is actually an 8, or it might be a 7.  Here's how
your Combination Number breaks down:

E = Extended Package
X = 12 VDC operation
6 = 41-80 watts
5 = 25 kHz channels
K = 8 frequency capacity
E = Equipped for 3 TX and 3 RX channels
U = Channel Guard equipped
88 = 450-470 MHz (or 78 = 420-450 MHz)
A = .0005% oscillator stability

Your next step is to download a copy of Publication Index PC65 here:
www.repeater-builder.com/ge/product-code-indexes/index-pc65-mastr-ii-e-seri
es-mobiles.pdf
or here:
http://tinyurl.com/yhxhgqn
There are a total of 12 LBIs that you will need to compile a manual for your
particular radio, and all of them are available for download from the GE
Index site.

[Repeater-Builder] GE Mastr ii Mobile Connections

2009-10-25 Thread skipp025
Re: GE Mastr ii Mobile Connections 

We're trying to restore a GE Mastr ii Mobile Radio 
to original configuration, mounted on a square piece 
of plywood (to start off). The RF deck arrived from 
a local source, the control head and cable were from 
an Ebay auction. 

The control head has three white specialized Molex 
type 2-row connectors on the back. The large black 
control cable has only two of the matching connectors. 

Can one of you tell us what the third white Molex 
plug does? I'm thinking like Motorola Radios of this 
era the speaker and ignition sense wires might be 
sourced to the third missing plug assembly.  

If we need the third plug to restore this station 
original... anyone have one they'd like to sell or 
trade for? 

Just for testing RF Decks and placing the ones we 
have back into service we'd like to restore two or 
three GE Mastr ii Mobiles using most of the original 
parts.  Is there a decent source for used cables and 
the control heads? Is there any source for used 
cables and the control heads? 

Thanks in advance for your replies... Email me direct 
if you have some old GE Mastr ii Mobile Accessory 
packages you want to part with (sell or trade off). 

thanks a mucho...

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GE Lookout Repeater related info needed.

2009-10-16 Thread Eric Lemmon
Please provide more information, such as a Combination Number, model number,
part numbers of the PC boards, etc.  Each printed circuit board should have
a number stamped in black ink along one edge, usually in the form
19C321456G4 but different characters, of course.  That number may be
preceded by PL and may be followed by REV and another character.

A manual for GE radios is not a single book, but rather is a binder that
is custom-made for each individual radio, containing as many as a dozen
different documents known as LBIs.  There will be one LBI for the
Oscillator/Multiplier, another one for the Exciter, another one for the
Power Amplifier, and so on.  There may be a half-dozen different LBIs for
the PA alone, since each power level PA has its own LBI.  Once the
individual LBIs have been assembled into a binder, it is unique to that
specific radio.  The first step is to identify each module in your repeater,
then we can advise you which LBIs you need to make up a manual for your
repeater.

How do we know it's an 88-split UHF (450-470 MHz)?  It could be 470-494 or 
494-512 MHz.

[Repeater-Builder] GE LB VHF RF Amplifier Drive Level? basic specs?

2009-09-13 Thread skipp025
On the way home from yesterdays Lincoln, CA. Ham Swap 
I noticed a bunch of surplus GE Radio Gear just up and 
jumped into the back of the truck. 

Two of the hitch-hiking items were GE VHF RF Amplifiers, 
looking a lot like a GE Master II Mobile decks factory 
mounted into a frame used in a base/repeater application. 

The RF Decks appear to be VHF Low Band units with the 
printed part numbers of PL19B219688G6 REV on each. The 
final output devices are 4 labeled C4104P1 transistors 
as is the single driver. The remaining first input device 
is a transistor labeled C6965P1. 

So... can anyone tell me the basics about this PA Model? 

Drive Level? 
Realistic Output Level? 

The output of the PA goes toward a covered T/R Relay section 
in the chassis/frame corner where I see connections for a 
receiver port. Is the T/R Relay normally powered/energized 
with each transmission to route the RF Amplifier to the Antenna 
(output) Port?  All the RF Connections appear to be the RCA 
type... 

Unlike Motorola RF Amplifiers... I'm not seeing an RF Power 
Stage Control Voltage line/wire/connection point from/on the 
chassis? 

The two chassis that came home with me look to be real cookers 
for something on low band... if I can get them to work. 

Thank you in advance for your replies... 

cheers,

Check out http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/lbi-master-list.html  do a
control F and type in the part numbers

 

They sound like typical lower powered amps for base stations (as opposed
to continuous duty repeaters. They are designed to mount in a base
housing where any of the amps go, they should have one PL-259 on a
angled bracket and room for another one just above it, 

Hope this helps

Skipp.

The 19B219688G6 is a heat sink assembly that is common to four PA assemblies
and PA boards:

19C321295G5 and 19D417927G1, for 25-30 MHz
19C321295G6 and 19D417927G2. for 30-36 MHz
19C321295G7 and 19D417927G3. for 36-42 MHz
19C321295G8 and 19D417927G4, for 42-50 MHz

The PA is rated at 100 watts, and all use the same transistors.  I may be
able to get more information, once I know which board you have.

[Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II 900 MHz 10 Channel Repeater System

2009-09-03 Thread bbfmrf
I have Inherited a 10 Channel GE MASTR II repeater system, and I am looking 
for some info or maybe even some interest.

The COMB # is S4VTRY0756

There are 5 cabinets each w/ 2 repeaters. (1) of the cabinets also has a Master 
Oscillator.

There also appears to be a separate controller on each repeater with a part # 
of 19D90186803

Each cabinet has a large top mounted fan and each repeater has its own power 
supply.

I have never been a GE person, so I have no knowledge as to exacly what I have 
here.

Odds are that I would prefer to sell it off as I really don't need it.  

If anyone can help identify this system and if there is any interest in it I 
will accept offers.  I would prefer to sell it as one complete package, but if 
there is not any interest, I will entertain selling it in pieces.

I thank you in advance for info you can provide.

If anyone needs further info or has specific questions, feel free to drop me a 
line and I'll look at the system and to provide whatever data you need.

Feel free to email me offline at bbf...@yahoo.com



Re: [Repeater-Builder] GE MASTR II 900 MHz 10 Channel Repeater System

2009-09-03 Thread Doug Bade
There is information available to move them to 902-927 if they are 
900 Mastr II GeNet900 stations..
It requires assembling a pll loader pcb to load the pll code to make 
it work on 902/927 instead of commercial.

There is little use commercially for it but some limited amateur 
interest... the problem is one Master Osc.. feeds 10 stations :-)
A 10 channel trunk on 902/927 would be amusing but largely not practical :-)

I have limited interest as I do have the code written to move to 
amateur... but shipping would exceed practical $$ for them...

While that system probably cost $20.00 new.. it is maybe worth 
one percent of that today unless you can find a commercial interested party.
