That did work. That's cool. Is there anyway to save it to the radio? When I reset the radio the problem comes right back. Thanks again. Jimmy On Fri, 2010-09-03 at 17:01 -0400, MCH wrote: > > How do you set it back to normal? > > Joe M. > > Richard Arnold wrote: > > > > > > There is a

Ok, I entered the IPCB command, then without resetting the machine I loaded the conf.def file and rebuilt my codeplug. This worked now I can reset the machine and have no alarms. Richard, thank you very much for the help. Jimmy

[Repeater-Builder] UHF Maratrac: Low power in ham bands

2007-08-25 Thread Jimmy Powell
I have a Maratrac that will only make about 20 watts at 446.500 and almost nothing a little below that. At 448.00 and above it makes full power. I have another Maratrac that makes full power down to 440.000. I did not check it any further. The radios look a little different inside. The one that has

Bob M. Thanks for the tip. I did the alignment. It was a little quirky but I finally got the radio performing to my satisfaction. It does 100 watts plus, from 440-450. I turned it down to 80 of course. Now I have to decide if I want to "waste" a good Maratrac as a repeater transmitter. Maybe, I

Ok, I did connect the positive and negative. I just didn't mention them. I programmed it as a clamshell also, forgot to mention that in original post. I have two radios that have the same problem, my only two of course. These do have the A7 head. _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups

I finally got it working. I went back to a known good codeplug. Then, I changed it to a clamshell control head. It would then transmit, but on wrong channel. I deleted all but Mode 1. It works! It also transmits PL. It seems from reading back through old posts that some have had trouble getti

In addition to the software, the UHF has two power control pots inside the radio. I'm not sure about the VHF. I have one but, it's been mounted and operational for years. I will go look this afternoon if you need me to. Jimmy, KS4KX _
