[Repeater-Builder] DB201

2005-12-10 Thread Steven Passmore, kf6fkk
Anyone know if there are any differences between the Hi-band vs. the UHF versions of the DB201? ie. can one tuned for 170MHz be retuned for 450? Looking at the drawings and specs they all seem to be the same with the exception of the low band ones having a longer support pipe. Thanks, Steve

To all that suggested I check the caps I did and elected to remove one of the Caps in line with one of the 2 thermistors. This allowed the crystal to immediatly swing up and onto Frequency.So as a temporary fix that is how it will stay until new crystal can be shipped in with its own element an

Is that like the question: what is more accurate...a clock that is stopped or one minute fast? Way back when, I had an SCR-522 2 meter transmitter that had a bit too much crystal drive. So much in fact, that the crystal would heat up excessively. Of course it would be drifting to beat the ba

I would contact them, and let them know what frequency it ended up at, and take it from there. Pulling a crystal off it's resonant point is not a very good idea. Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Repeater-Builder/ <*>

Are you buying the crystal and soldering it in yourself? I have done many that way and about 15% of the time you have to change the cap value in parallel with the trimmer to get it to net. This is true no matter where I get them from. The only sure bet is to send the element in.   Chris N9LLO
