Some of them don't idle exactly at zero. I've got a low-band strip that idles at 3-4uA. If you've gone through the full alignment procedure, including adjustment of the discriminator and IF stages with a strong on-frequency IF signal, that's all you can do. Component tolerances and crystal

My experience is that if they are off by more than 1 uA, then something is wrong or they don't work right. -- Original Message -- Received: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 02:11:36 AM PST From: Bob M. msf5kg...@yahoo.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor UHF

Hi John, Very Nice... You didn't indicate how much and what type of broadcast is also on the tower? One of the saving grace items in your system is the quality of the Master II Receiver and it's well designed front end. cheers, s. kf0m kf0m_l...@... wrote: We were at 1400 ft and

Hello Joe First of all, the MRF901 is a low noise input transistor that was made by Motorola and is probably the transistor in your assembly. Next, the brass tube helical resonators in your assembly look to me to be as made by ACS / Kendecom and as used in their repeater receivers. And, in

I'm looking for a few Teledyne 432YZ-7486 relays as replacements for some that have burnt up in my HP-8920. Anyone have any leads? I was a good boy and did my research homework with a search engine, but I haven't been able to find any. I tried calling Teledyne, but apparently they split early

We have a VHF TV station on top at 1500' and until recently had an FM broadcast station at 1200'. We had to run a notch filter tuned to the FM station to keep it out of the receiver. Of course in recent years they added a big UHF slot antenna on the side of the tower for HDTV. We had to move

Tom, Okay I guess I should ask if replacement coils for the Mitrek are still available from Motorola, and if so, at what cost? If they are no longer available, or are cost prohibitive, send me one of your Mitrek receivers and I'll see if I can come up with a new set of coils that
