[Repeater-Builder] 19" rack positioning question

2007-11-24 Thread Bill
In the sprit of the only stupid question is the one that goes un- asked. Here goes: I have a Micor UHF repeater mounted in a 46" x 19" cabinet. It is now a ham band repeater that I have added a new NHRC-5 controller and IRLP interface. The modules are mounted as follows: Top: Custom built 12V PA c

My only input is that heat rises, and the heat of the PS will rise and keep the duplexer warm. I would be concerned that the heating of the duplexer (and likely cooling at off-peak times or climate change) would cause the metallic parts in the duplexer to expand and contract possibly throwing i

Hi Barry, My 2 cents! A 100 watt Micor lofts along regardless of temp. If you can stand it, so can a Micor. Not all of us have 72 degree air conditioned, clean rooms! If your PA has the BIG heatsink, its continuous duty, the mobile heatsink need some cooling because they are only rated

I put a VHF repeater together this summer in a Stromberg Carlson cabinet that the phone company retired and had to install a fan in the top of the cabinet to get the heat removed. The cabinet was insulated with one inch foam on top, bottom, sides and doors. It was a side-by-side rack cabnet with

I agree. This rack had the mounting for the fans, but they had been stripped out by the time it made it to us. The hard part was figuring out just what dimension fan would fit - 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- Barry C' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Very familiar with these , wonderfully well made and >
