Hi Jim, I understand about the 2012 changeover, and all of our radios are capable. However, if I can put together a backup repeater that will be a viable alternative for less than $100 that will last us until that time, I consider it a good investment. If I don't do it, we'll get hit by lightnin

Maybe you missed a key part... "Site owner does not want a micor power supply." The 12V only is not the issue - it's the fact that the chassis has to be run off 12V when it requires a 9.6V secondary supply. (unless you put the TPN1121A in a big, black box and call it a 9.6V converter) ;-> Joe

How about this then: in the micor there is a 4 cavity filter on the output of the exciter. If I tuned 3 of those cavities properly and detuned the last so it acts as an -16 dB attenuator would that work in obtaining my 10 mW input into my mobile amp without creating any problems? On 8/23/07, Ke

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor Repeater Low Current Mods

Jesse, While your method may work, it likely won't be clean; not ever a good thing, especially where a repeater transmitter is concerned. The Micor VHF transmitter, like most FM transmitters, uses Class C RF amplification. When a Class C amplifier is under-driven, or turned down below about

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor Repeater Low Current Mods

That PA mod is awesome. I was considering knocking down the power out of the exciter to 20 mW by increasing the value of a couple resistors, and then feeding it into a 40 Watt M100 PA. From there I have the ability to vary the output power from 5-40 watts (ish). Jesse On 8/22/07, Kevin Custer

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor Repeater Low Current Mods
