[Repeater-Builder] Micor receiver -- TLD0273B3PR
Hi all, I have an offer for a couple of Micor's that are SPLIT Band, TX is VHF-Low and RX is VHF-Hi Band. The guy tells me the receiver is a TLD0273 B3 PR on 151.XX. I know enough to be dangerous about Micors and I was hoping that the RX would be ham split 2 receiver, but at the same time never heard of a ' 0273. Special receiver due to the low band TX? Any ideas? 73, Brian, WD9HSY Your kid may be an Honor Student, Your Kid may be a Great Athlete, Your Kid may be a Doctor or a Lawyer, But My kid is in the US Air Force plays with ICBM's, Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles, What was your Latitude and Longitude? ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
RE: [Repeater-Builder] Micor receiver -- TLD0273B3PR
Brian, I suspect that the seller mis-read the number stamped on the receiver board, and that it really is TLD8273-which is intended to operate 150.8-162 MHz. The TLD8273 unit would be expected for the frequency you mentioned. The number was hand-stamped, and it often happens that some digits are not completely inked. Regarding the conversion of the subject station to the 2m Ham band, you will find a wealth of information on the Repeater-Builder Technical Information Pages.

Sensitivity fell off quite a bit, instead of about .35-.4, it was more on the order of .8-.9 uV, so a re-work of the front end helicals would have been in order if sensitivity was critical. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor receiver below 440?
You will need to lengthen the helical coils. I took one to 442.75 and that's the only way the sensitivity would come up.

Lance N2HBA Frequently - the Southern Calif. repeaters all listen to 440-445, and talk on 445-450, so every Micor repeater receiver needed surgery (better them than every single user radio). The Mitreks were easier - most every 450-470 radio would hit 438 with no problems. Talk to Scott at repeater-builder (the company). He's done enough that he can tell you what's involved.

Kevin thanks for the response i am working on converting a big pager transmetter,Motorola Micor 125 watts SHD ,it receive in UHF and his TX is low split at 140.?? mhz so by replacing the receiver in uhf i should be able to modify it Kevin for our project here. i must say that i am not a tech but i have the Moto Manual with it so with some help i should be ablei will swap the receiver uit and after will see what happens :-) i had a suggestion to replace the uhf receiver by a Phoenix Vhf and use his receiver part for my project by since i may find a used receiver at a good price it could be less problematic to fix it! what were the mods that have been done on the other card Kevin? we plan to install this transmetter on a 3000 feets mountains so we need reliabity and this Micor should do the job 73/s Kevin Gervais ve2ckn Bic,quebec Original Message Follows From: Kevin Custer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Receiver Wanted Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 18:21:00 -0500 gervais fillion wrote: hi all i am looking for a used Micor receiver his parts number is TLD 8272B if you have 1 and want to sell it ,let me know your price thanks in advance gervais,ve2ckn Would you consider a TLD 8273B that has been properly converted to a TLD 8272B?

[Repeater-Builder] MICOR Receiver Low Power Mod for Solar Site?
Several of us are looking at putting up a low-power UHF MICOR Repeater at some Solar Power sites. Standby receive power drain, of course, needs to be as low as possible. I have a copy of a modification that was done to a MASTR II VHF Repeater audio amplifier stage to greatly reduce the standby current, with a switch to re-enable the audio PA for maintenance while at the site. Has anyone ever done something similar for a MICOR receiver? The audio amp stages are quite different between a MICOR and a MASTR II. Thanks, Larry

Has anyone ever done something similar for a MICOR receiver? The audio amp stages are quite different between a MICOR and a MASTR II. Two ways... remove the audio amplifier transistor assembly and install a LM-386 audio amp in its place; switch the LM-386 on/off with a manual switch. Or, you can enable/disable the OEM audio amplifier by placing a switch in the lead going to pin 16 of the Audio Squelch board. This will work with any Micor, mobile or station, on any band as pin 16 is always Audio A+. Kevin

[Repeater-Builder] Micor receiver voting tone
Does a Micor base receiver, unified chassis, have any capability for generating a voting tone? The Control and Applications manual does not make any mention of any cards that would do this.

[Repeater-Builder] Micor receiver voting tone
There was both a factory option and a field modification kit that allowed conventional Motorola Micor stations to be used in SpectraTac systems. First, a SpectraTac encoder card was added in the repeater card cage to generate the status tone that allowed the "in-cabinet" (repeater) receiver to vote along with the remote receivers. The encoder card normally produces a steady tone that is interrupted when a signal is received. The encoder module has low and high tone slide switches which are used in equalizing the tone levels (which are adjustable on the encoder card). Secondly, the status tone is routed out through a special four wire line driver so that the repeater receiver status tone and any received audio is routed on one pair to a SpectraTac comparator. The second pair of audio lines on the line driver is used to bring the "voted" audio from the comparator back to the repeater for retransmission. There is also provision for "in-cabinet" repeat, which means that if the comparator dies the repeater will repeat whatever audio the repeater receiver is receiving just as if there was no SpectraTac system connected to it. The special "SpectraTac Line Driver" also had circuits to add gain at certain audio frequencies so that the repeater's receiver audio response more closely matched the response curve of the remote receivers. Marv Hoffman, WA4NC Boone, NC skipp025 wrote: If you need a Spectra Tac type operation, there are modules (for the card-cage/backplane), which serve up the proper tone encoding functions. Most often you will see a special version of the line driver module and a "spectra tac encoder" module. Motorola also had an earlier A-B tone voting system (that seemed to work pretty well). Finding cards for that system would be hit and miss at best. Depends on the voter you have, but the spectra tac module manaul should have descriptions of the more common back plane modules. The common module manuals can often skip over the spectra tac options as they are/were special order or "as-built". I can't see why any duplex chassis couldn't be made to generate a proper encoder tone sequence, else you just need to properly add the circuit. Cetec Vega had a popular external voter tone encoder module, often seen installed after-market. cheers, skipp "bd6xray" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does a Micor base receiver, unified chassis, have any capability for generating a voting tone?

[Repeater-Builder] Micor Receiver Identification
Hello Everyone: I have two Micor Receiver boards, and would like to get a schematic for each one. Also, what was their application? There is nothing in any of my micor manuals. Board #1: TLD 5782AV Appears to be 142-150 range. Has normal F1-F4, but looks like it has 4 Rx and 4 Tx elements for F5 - F8. Board #2: TLB 8454B1 has two RCA type jacks on the board instead of the normal one RCA jack. Much more circuitry on the element side of this board. Thanks for any information. Tony, K3WX Yahoo!
