RE: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?
Rick, The front view shows the PA board, which confirms that your Micor is a 60 watt, intermittent duty base station, with a non-unified chassis. The repeater version has additional shielding and filtering to permit duplex operation, but many units are able to operate full duplex without them. However, the cover for the PA is missing and should be replaced. The Micor VHF stations were made in four basic splits: 132-142, 142-150.8, 150.8-162, and 162-174 MHz. Obviously, the 142-150.8 MHz, AKA the "M" split, is the most desired for 2m application, but the most common split found on the surplus market is the 150.8-162 MHz split, AKA the "H" split. There are bandpass filters in the exciter and the PA that are different between the M and H splits, and may need to be replaced or re-tuned to perform optimally on 2m. The RBTIP on this site is a goldmine of information for converting a Micor station to 2m. Although you did state that the station was already set up for 2m, it does happen that a group will simply re-crystal the station and find that it seems to work okay after tuning- but it never performs as well as it could because of these filters. It may be that all of those mods have already been performed, but it never hurts to check! 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Stirling Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 12:18 PM To: Rick Stirling; repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?
Several years ago, I had an installation of the non-unified chassis system installed at my then repeater site. Since it was wired as a repeater (amateur band) I wanted to be able control it as the FCC requires - so I left the DC transfer module and the line driver cards in the control shelf. The line PTT worked as the factory had wired it. The remote controlled Private Line Disable latch on the DC transfer module was patched into pin 3 of the Station Control Module (key inhibit) to turn off the transmitter when the need arose. Worked for me. Neil - WA6KLA Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?

If you aren't planning on using the Squelch Gate module and you are going to use a repeater controller, the conversion of it is similar to the one outlined for the Unified Chassis on my Micor Index of RBTIP, However, here are some notes for the Non-Unified Chassis: For TX: Pin 15 of the exciter (T1 select) goes to pin 16 in the ribbon cable. This ultimately goes to the Remote Control Chassis (backplane board) to pin 14 on the DC Transfer Module contact pins. Grounding this pin with a jumper will allow F1 to work. Alternately, if keyed F1 is desired for the TX element, run a jumper wire from pin 2 of the Station Control backplane pin to pin 14 of the DC Transfer pins. Note: The DC Transfer module should be pulled out, as the only module needed is the Station Control Module. For RX: Pin 2 of the receiver RF - I-F board (R1 select) goes to pin 21 in the ribbon cable. This ultimately goes to the Remote Control Chassis to pin 21 of the DC transfer module. Pin 21 of the DC transfer module will need grounded at all times for the receiver to work. No DC Transfer module is needed. The rest of the conversion should be *basically* the same as what is written in the article. Realize that most if not all of the signals required to drive a controller can be found at the backplane where the Squelch Gate Module interfaces. As the article suggests, I don't care for the squelch gate module for my applications, but your situation may be different. Hope this helps... Kevin YAHOO!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?
Rick, Offhand, it looks like a 60 watt, intermittent duty base station. If it were a repeater station, there should be shield plates covering the receiver. It might also be a paging station. Look for any numbers stamped in black ink along the edges of the backplane and on the power supply or on any sheet metal parts. Any string of three letters and four digits, usually starting with "T", are important. Also look for any tag or label with a number of the form C53RTB3106A (the letters and numbers may be different) which is the model number. Some overall photos of the front and back will help a lot. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Stirling Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 2:55 PM To: repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Can anyone identify this?
You're looking at the backplane... This looks like a PURC station, if I'm not mistaken. We [Will County (IL) EMA] just put one on of these the air for relay of EMWIN data, operating on 163.325... in cooperation with the NWS Chicago, of course. It **should** be able to be heard around the greater Chicago Metro area. We're running about 60W now - the PA is rated for 110W. (It originally had a 325W tube PA, but the county's radio tech didn't want to have to "worry" about tubes... I exchanged it with another list reader for the 110W PA... :-) BTW - Thanks Matt, it's working great!

We have a repeater given to our club. It is more or less in working condition on the 2 meter band. Trouble is there is no controller or id-er, etc. http://www.rickster.org/pics/unknown.jpg I've been told it is a Compa-Station but I haven't been able to correlate this backplane any of the pictures on repeater-builder. Any clues would be appreciated. I'm planing on installing a CommSpec CTCSS TS64DS decoder and the NHRC-4 controller. 73, Rick AE7RS Yahoo!
