Re: [Repeater-Builder] help I need
The slugs can be feed with MEK. However, you cannot get the high/high-high split filter to tune to 146 MHz. The coils have to be changes as well as the capacitors. I have converted some with little problem. After conversion, the filter should be tuned with a sweep generator to get the filter somewhat flat over the frequencies that you want to use the radio. The filter in a mobile usually does not have epoxy filling the coil form. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 09:41 PM 06/03/04, you wrote: I have a micor base/repeater station and the second bpf the one attached to the tripler needs to be tuned problem is that the tuning screws are epoxied in and I can't clean them up so I need a new one but don't know where to get one can someone help me out???

RE: [Repeater-Builder] help I need
I have one in a UHF 75-Watt MICOR repeater with the same problem. I've unsoldered the cover that has to come off, and on this particular one, the slugs are so frozen that the hex-head tool now won't fit anymore in the slugs - they've become rounded out and just can't be gripped with anything. So if anyone has another set besides the one David needs, I could sure use one, too. It will finish up another UHF Repeater - everything else works fine.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] help I need
have you tried to remove the bottom plate and take the screws out from the bottom with a pair of needle nose pliers. it worked on mine and I found a set of set screws at mcmaster car 3/4 chrome plate steel 10x32 thread for 5.67. then just clean the threads up with a tap and put the new ones in reassemble and tune it up. I am going to try this if nothing else becomes available. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:09 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] help I need I have one in a UHF 75-Watt MICOR repeater with the same problem.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] help I need
Turn the filter upside down with the screw heads in a tray of acetone over night. Put the whole mess in a large glass casserole dish with a lid to minimize the evaporation (I bought a old one at the thrift store for $1 just to prevent the flack from the wife). Anyway after soaking the epoxy in the acetone for 10 to 12 hours an xacto knife tip will pop out the epoxy.
