I have a friend that has a backup Compa Station for his 2 meter repeater, at least until he tried to bring it up the last time and it had died dead. Guess after around 50 or so years it deserves retirement. By the way, his main repeater is a High Band 1/4 K Motrac vintage machine.

I'll bet there are still a hand full of G strips & A strips on the air. I know of one city government that uses a G strip to receive weather braodcasts on their 800 MHz trunked radio system. There are a few people who believe that there was never a better receiver for high intermod locations than the hi-band A receiver with the "stove-pipe" properly tuned. -- Original Message -- Received: Sat, 05 Mar 2005 09:34:54 PM CST From: Joe Montierth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thats the way I am feeling about the "Vocaline" and > "Twin Vee" threads.

That's the nice thing about HAM - no TA to worry about. Of course, it's a double-edged sword, as you have people running deviation too high and interfering with adjacent channels. You can't do much about them legally - especially if they are just users. Joe M.

I have a high-band Motrac Consolette base station I bought for $50 about 32-33 years ago. I am still using it on two meters. At one time, I duplexed it for an RTTY demonstration in a Navy-Marine Corps Mars installation in the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim California at the SW Division ARRL Convention. It's duplexed UHF counterpart that I also bought for $50 at the time got retired some years back. 73 - WA6KLA Paul Finch wrote: > > I have a friend that has a backup Compa Station for his 2 meter > repeater, at least until he tried to bring it up the last time > and it had died dead.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] PART 95 Type Accepted (putting me to sleep)
John, If you contact that government agency with the Sensicon 'A' Receiver strip, you might caution them on a factory designed built-in flaw. The plate of the audio output stage has a chassis mounted .01 or .02 mfd bypass capacitor going to chassis ground. If that capacitor ever shorts, the output transformer will be toast very shortly. The fix is a replacement disk-ceramic capacitor from plate to the screen grid on that 6AQ5. Been there, replaced that transformer - not fun. The 'A' Series of the transmitter strip on both low and high bands also has a 'needs to be replaced' from time to time. There is a three section electrolytic capacitor in the speech amp section that opens up sooner or later. One part of the resultant is the deviation seems to go very wide as the B+ bypass is now open. Another is if the lower frequencies of a human voice / PL tone modulation seems quite low. The Modulation tube 7V7 cathode by-pass capacitor has opened up. The PL version of the low and high band Sensicon 'G' Receiver ... the PL receive sensitivity seems to have gone away, the electrolytic coupling capacitor in the PL decoder circuit has opened up. The UHF 'B' receiver ... there is a 8200 ohm 2 watt carbon dropping resistor from B+ to the plate of the gas regulator tube. After a few years, the value has dropped quite a ways - a good fix is a 10K 3 watt wirewound resistor. Hope this helps, Neil - WA6KLA JOHN MACKEY wrote: > > I'll bet there are still a hand full of G strips & A strips on the > air.
