Re: TKR820 (tkr-720) COR Logic (pin13) information wanted.

Wow, this post has some history... y yo necesito mas practicar 
en espanol Que Lastima! Read on. 

The Kenwood TKR-720 and TKR-820 repeaters have a cor output 
logic line with non-standard voltage values. The cor changes 
dc level with cos however, the dc values are not standard in 
the form of active high being some voltage and active low 
going to dc ground (or the converse). 

I designed and build a simple dc level detector circuit I 
now use for all my repeater cor/cos and squelch detection 
circuits. I've got the design down to one very fast adjustment 
and it otherwise doesn't care what the input voltage values 
are or where they transition to output a standard form-C type 
relay or simple FET/bipolar transistor output. 

It's a viable enough design that I'm having a fair number of 
pc-boards made to be offered cheap to anyone who might want one 
in kit or pre-built form. The time line for the project is at 
least after Dayton and maybe into June. 

But if you'd like to make your own you can contact me direct

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TKR820 (tkr-720) COR Logic (pin13) information wanted.

2008-05-01 Thread Ken Arck

Skipp and others

The problem he is facing is really quite simple.

According to the service manual for the TKR-820, 
the so-called "CO" output on the 15 pin Molex 
style Accessory connector provides an open 
collector output LOW when carrier is active 
UNLESS the repeater is programmed for tone decode 
in which case the CO output is "tone squelch" 
based (I'm not sure if that means decode only 
output or it is AND's with COR). In any case, 
that's what the service manual says.


I spent a bit of time on the phone with Kenwood 
tech support about this the other day and they 
seemed somewhat "stumped" that it worked this way.


He sent me a couple excerpts from the service 
manual, including this one (which may be the most 
important piece of info from them so far - this 
is from Service Bulletin T-89-88-LM)


I've posted it on our website (with Kenwood's 
permission). This may be what Frank is looking for.

Hope this helps

Now connector for TKR 720/820 repeat control board plug WAS RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TKR820

2008-05-01 Thread Paul Finch
Hello,
 
Brings up a question, has anyone been able to find one of those connectors
that the normal repeater controller has on it that plugs into the logic
board?  I want to use one of my Ham style controllers on the repeater and
would rather have it inside the unit than out.

going to dc ground (or the converse). 

I designed and build a simple dc level detector circuit I 
now use for all my repeater cor/cos and squelch detection 
circuits. I've got the design down to one very fast adjustment 
and it otherwise doesn't care what the input voltage values 
are or where they transition to output a standard form-C type 
relay or simple FET/bipolar transistor output. 

It's a viable enough design that I'm having a fair number of 
pc-boards made to be offered cheap to anyone who might want one 
in kit or pre-built form. The time line for the project is at 
least after Dayton and maybe into June. 

But if you'd like to make your own you can contact me direct 
and I'll try to help you with the proper information. 

cheers,

Now connector for TKR 720/820 repeat control board plug WAS RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TKR820

2008-05-02 Thread Private
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the TKR-820 
issues! 
The 820 seems to be one repeater that there isnt a lot of publicized 
info free for the asking, we all had to dig real hard, but thanks 
again to all who answered the bell!

Just for the record my serial # is 6035008 which leads me to believe 
that I have the mod already build in to my 820 and need to do nothing 
to the board as far as jumpers are concerned.
