What does everyone who is here think? This is my first year with a booth, but the longtimers are telling me that attendence is down again, and purchases are slow. I know we still have all our MastrII stuff sitting here, as well as most of the MSF stuff. Not even getting offers. Duplexers seem

Oh come on. Having played with Motorola stuff for so long, you should know the answer to this question without even thinking about asking it. Of course you can't program the LCS2000 radios with anything you currently have. But once you have the right software you may have to hex-edit it if the

You don't need to adjust anything on the receive radio. However, on the transmit radio, the CDR700 service manual suggests setting the "Accessory Mic Gain" to 31.5 or 33.0 dB. Further adjustment will be made in the controller. All of the setup details are in the CDR700 service manual 6864110R66,

Ohio sees lightning rates at about 2-8 strikes per square kilometer per year, so the odds that over a 7 year period one will be near you is pretty high. Grounding, bonding and use of Polyphasers on all lines connected to and from your equipment (feedlines, power, telephone, data) per generally a

I've got a unit that was probably dropped. I had to replace every exposed part on the rear panel. I've got a PDF copy of a manual that's close but it's woefully lacking in many areas, like how to get things apart and work on them. Anyway, the sig gen operates fine but doesn't output anything in
