We are talking large sailboats going off shore and staying in places with
little to no spare supplies. This all started with a friend that is in the
Caribbean and has had both of his radios fail and can't even make it to talk
to the marina's and bridges. Turns out that one of the radio problems i
e one that
clamps to a side rail, or whatever - just have a spare. The antenna, no
matter which type of coax or even antenna, is more likely to fail before the
radio.

There are not a lot of terrain features out there. I'd think you could talk
quite a ways on 25 watts at 70 feet HAAT. 75-100 miles?

Good luck with that, and tell your boating friends that they should
consider taking grandma for a nice boat ride a bit away from land and
see how comfortable they are with just a radio.

I have been in a big discussion with the guys on my boat list about the
right coax for running up the mast for VHF marine radio.
Keeping in mind that we are talking about a 70' or so run going up the
center of an aluminum mast, in a salt water environment, and the radio is
limited to 25 watts.

On the exciter, remove R103 which connects to pin 11 on the audio chip.

If you are not using a local microphone (I don't) my solution is to simply
remove the bias to mic high and forget messing with a cap.

t you to the area where the trouble is occurring. As I wild
guess, I would suspect a bad capacitor. With MastrII boards being so
easy to get, I would probably just change out the board.

Here is my setup. I have a MastrII mobile which was converted a long time

Echostation. As far as I know everything was working fine for a while then
over the past few weeks I started having this strange problem. After being

leave them forever, but when it gets cold they will try to warm themselves
on the repeater and if they get stuck they will cause a big mess. So since

Thanks. This did the trick. Mine was close but didn't have the 47K from
the base to the emitter. I just started from scratch on the circuit and

I got a Solid State Relay and the com port will trigger it. (same thing I use

Any suggestions?

I am trying to key my MASTR II from my PC. Is there any reason I can't use
a 5v 1a relay connected to the serial port and the PTT line on the MASTR II
to do this?
