Re: [Repeater-Builder] RCA connectors NOT for power
Yep - had a Yaesu 727 handheld with that... the cigarette lighter adapter had a dual plug with a coaxial plug for operating the handheld and a 1/8" one for charging the battery. The charger was nothing but a fixed resistor (1/4w !!!) between the 12v input and the hot side of the battery. The cord dropped between the seats in teh truck one day and the tip of the 1/8" plug touched the steel seat slide. POOF! went the 1/4 watt resistor. I replaced it with a LM317 adjustable voltage regulator chip set to result in zero current when the battery was fully charged. And the current was limited to prevent overcurrent damage to the battery. Crude, but effective, and 100% junk box.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] RCA connectors NOT for power
Personally I don't like the RCA connector for power use. Assuming the female is chassis mounted, as it has been on a number of pieces of equipment (DEMI transverters come to mind), that means there's a mating male connector with +12VDC on the exposed pin, just looking for something to short out with. Granted, it may see very few insertions/extractions, but when extracted it exposes a live pin. A pigtail on the equipment with a male connector could be used, making the power source available on a female inline connector. PowerPoles are a much better choice IMHO, and they can be chassis mounted with some insulating shoulder washers, like power transistors & banana connectors often are.

On the subject of the RCA 500 & 700 series (since there seems to be a knowledge base among the group)...the later models of the 500 series used a RF amplifier module to drive the PA. It is a blue package, that, I'm told, replaced (partially) a former complicated and unreliable tripler section. Did the 700 series use that same module? I'm looking for one for a friend..no luck yet.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] RCA 700 Series Radios Available
Nope ... One basic cad plated chassis with a metal casting on the front. The receiver front end, oscillator / multiplier chain and first IF sections are in the front mounted metal casting mounted on the chassis. The second IF and audio/squelch board is mounted on the bottom of the back half of the chassis The top of the back half of the chassis has the Quiet Channel Board (similar to Motorola Private Line) next to the exciter which are mounted above Second IF / Audio squelch board ... The transmitter multiplier chain is on a separate chassis mounted circuit board just to the right of the exciter. The last power multiplier and PA deck part of the transmitter is on the rear, but separate, aluminum casting / heatsink. The two metering jacks are mounted on a separate bracket just above and to the right of the receiver front end. The RCA Series 1000 and ML1000 are just a higher powered transmitter version of the RCA Series 700. BTW, the ML on ML1000 ... stood for Meadow Lands PA - where the RCA Office was then located.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] RCA 700 Series Radios Available
Jim, The RCA 500 series radios were two strips sort of like the Mastr Pro, the Pro had an additional strip in the middle for the power supply. My second repeater was a Pro, I took the mobile power supply out and modified a 100 watt "A" strip supply to run it. I had to build a 12 and 10 volt supply. The RCA 700 (3.5X12X12) is more like the Mocom 70 but more square and the RCA 1000 (3.5X12X15) series is the same as the 700 but has a BIG heat sink on the rear. There was one more model that was similar to the 1000 but was basically the same radio with a newer looking head. Been a long time, bear with me I think I am close to what they actually looked like. Then we know what happened to RCA after that, the GE days! Paul -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim B.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] RCA 700 Series Radios Available
Paul, I believe you are correct. The RCA Super-Carfone was the model with the quick heating filaments The RCA Super-Carfone 500 Series was more solid-state but had the slower heating tube final. The RCS Series 700, 1000 and ML1000 were all solid state. ... or something like that ...

Neil, If I remember correctly it was the RCA 500 series that had the tube final in the brown strips, am I thinking correctly? It's been a while! I thought the 700 line was all transistor in a grey box. The 700 line was similar to the 1000 line with the 700 being lower power.

The 700 and 1000 series radios can be range-changed to 406-440 in minutes. The parts even plug in. Then you unbolt the transmitter PA deck subchassis (one RF tube plus it's transistorized inverter HV supply) and replace it with a coax jumper.

[Repeater-Builder] RCA power supply ID?
And here's a REAL long shot I'm trying to find any info on this power supply, believed to be from a RCA ~100 watt VHF base or repeater. The only markings are: 3720788-501 CODE B. I don't have a picture so will try to describe it. Open frame, rack mount, 7" height. One big transformer, two chokes, 4 large filter caps and switch/circuit breaker on the "front"... large heatsink for the rectifier diodes, smaller one for the regulator pass transistor(?), regulator board etc. on the "back". Seems to have an adjustable regulated ~13.8V output and a high current unregulated (ferro-resonant) output for a PA... I'm guessing good for at least 20 amps. Also perhaps a terminal for connection of a battery?? (seems to hook back into the unregulated output through a big diode). Anybody got the slightest clue about this beast? I'd like to know the current ratings and possibly find a schematic. Paul, N1BUG Yahoo!
