  Otherwise, you get it from another ham operator or from out of

Recently, I went in to RS for a simple device I knew they had.  Of course, the
worker there met me a few steps after walking in the door to ask how he could
help.  I told him what I wanted,  he said they didn't carry that anymore. 
Then I went looking on their racks  found several.

RS sorta reminds me of Les Schwab tires in the Pacific Northwest, as they both
have their employees come running up to greet you like your favorite pet dog. 
The typical RS employee knows about the same of electronics as Les Schwab  my
dog, too!!

In the 1980's, when I was in college, I applied for a pre-christmas time job
at RS. (I figured it would pay the bills until I found a real job) I was
interviewed,  later received a letter stating that I was not what they were
looking for in employees at RS.  Looking back on it, that was probably a
compliment.  I was soon hired by a FM broadcaster for engineering.

3RS is a good marking for a SMT device. This is a GaAs-N-FET made by 
Matsushita Denshi Kogyo Co. It is in a SOT-143 package and is of type 
3SK184-S. I was unable to find a source of these with Google. I did find 
that these were a common transistor and also used by Icom and Alinco. These 
were a high failure Item.

Yeah, that smell of the new catalog!  Came in a brown wrapper.  Still have a
few of the old ones, can't seem to be able to throw them away.

  I remember when we found out that Lafayette's cost code was PHARMOCIST
then we knew just how low to pay for an item.  Rode my bike the 5 miles to
the store in Livonia Michigan three times in one day after the right parts.

  We only have one parts store in the entire Detroit area that I know of,
The Electronic Connection in Westland.  Their prices are at least three
times what I can buy them for on the internet.  They won't be long.  Mostly
sell CB's and radar detectors to truckers.  There are Newark and RS
Electronics outlets but they cater to the automotive companies.  Newark
stocks very little here due to warehouse taxing.  RS is expensive too.

I think the original question was about a Jones  or Cinch-Jones plug.  I 
have a large number of various sizes.  Which one was being looked for?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions

2004-01-03 Thread Neil McKie

  You are quite correct ... was CA Electronics ... 

  Don't remember when / where I bought my Red Book or the Yellow Book 
 for that matter either.  When those books first arrived on the scene, 
 I already had 'collected' a few of the original factory manuals.  As 
 you may guess, I still have those manuals too.  As far as I know, I 
 never had an FMTRU-5V manual ... the Red/Yellow Books were handy for 
 that too. 

  Speaking of the 5V ... the one I had, I modified ... ever so 
 slightly ... by changing my added power connectors, the radio could 
 be used on either 12 volts (factory was ONLY 6 volts) or 110 VAC / 
 external power supply.  

  Might you need that modification diagram for one of your iders? 

  Remember when there was a GE version of the Red / Yellow Books?  I 
 have a set of those too.

Nah. I replaced the dynamotor with a T supply, the code wheel with an

Adam, the connectors for the power cords on my 
old 520 is a Jones Socket (female). Now made by GC/Waldom.

The P/N SHOULD be S-312-CCT. That P/N is 
NOT shown in my 2002/2003 Allied Catalog but the mating plug is shown, 
P-312-CCT.

I suggest you give them a call; 800 433 
5700. They recently came up with some power transistors for our 25 year 
old church mixing board. Also check the Digi-Key web page. www.digikey.com

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic questions

2004-01-03 Thread bill Croghan
If I recall the 12 pin plug on my old 520 was the same plug as on some of
the Reel to reel tape machines at the radio station where I worked.  The
machines  were MCI, Otari or Ampex, with my best guess being the Otari for the
remote control connections.
Since so many radio stations no longer use the reel to reels, you might find
some of the plugs in the local radio station's junk boxes.  Can't hurt to ask.
I'll check my junk boxes at work Monday.
