[Repeater-Builder] Using ICOM Commercial radios as repeaters/links etc
I've seen on many auction sites folks selling pairs of ICOM commercial radios glued together as repeaters. Often it has been IC-221S or IC- 121S units and sometimes IC-111S or IC-211S units. My question is, does anyone here know how difficult it is to get the signals you might need (like PTT, audio in/out, COS, etc) from these rigs?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Using ICOM Commercial radios as repeaters/links etc
Jim, It's very easy as they are designed for those signals to be accessable, much like the Motorola radios. There is a cable, part OPC-617, that plugs inside the radio and brings those signals out to a female DB-9 connector. You have to cut a few traces in the radio depending on the options you need and the signals are then on the 9 pin connector, and they will still function as normal mobiles. Hope this helps.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Using ICOM Commercial radios as repeaters/links etc
Hi Jim, Many Icom, Motorola, Kenwood... yadda, yaddd brand radios do the commercial mobile radio to repeater package. Most newer decent quality radios have an option for external interface connections. The factory back to back cables work. Some layouts don't do much more than a rude back to back radio. Some layouts have basic repeater controllers going all the way through to a full blown ham radio or commercial mutil function controller... multi sub tone, even trunking format. Understand that most mobile radios have small heat sinks, which get hot fast in full power in repeater service (even with a fan). The typical Motorola GR300 with two mobiles at 40 watts output will burn up if you lock to talk it as a full busy repeater. So, turn the the power output down (most often done in software) if you want to use it for long repeater talk times. There's a guy on Ebay selling everything Icom cheaper than most local Dealers can do for you. I'm sure his service is limited. Sort of the Ebay Wall Mart of Icom Radio sales. Another guy is selling basic back to back Motorola mobile radio cables for under $10 each. These units are cheap and quite fun to play with. Most Kenwood radios work with the kct flying lead radio cable option, the newer tk-7180/8180 radios have the connection on an already available rear mounted connector. I've done a number of repeaters and special configs using the older and newer radios. There's a group of hams out here using Amateur Radios back to back for repeaters. If they talk too long, the tx radio power amp gets hot and the radio (repeater power) goes away until it cools down and resets the protection circuit. Commercial radios often have most of the required external signals and controls for repeater operation. Sometimes a jumper or software switch might need to be set. As Doug mentions, sometimes it's an easy plug and play if you want to buy the cable. Sometimes you simply wire it yourself. cheers, skipp Doug Bade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jim; There is a factory option cable pigtail which an be added that will put most everything you could need on a external db25 connector...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TLD5322 Exciter is on all the time, is there another way
That's interesting to know Mathew. We're in the process of putting a converted hi band VHF Micor on 220 and as it is set up now, the exciter is keyed. I would guess that it wouldn't be much of a delay anyway. The final stage of the exciter is keyed with keyed A- and I believe the xtal module is keyed ( I think, but I don't remember) as well. If I had that problem, I would hook up the key line again. In the bench test configuration, I do know that with the final stage unkeyed and the xtal module oscillating, we have about 7 mW at the output of the exciter. You probably could hear that a few miles. However, isn't the PA keyed and unkeyed? de WD7F John in Tucson - Original Message - From: n9lv [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 8:52 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] TLD5322 Exciter is on all the time, is there another way I have a motorola micor repeater that has the exciter keyed up all the time, the TLD5322.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Telephone Co Lightning pucks
Joe, I'm a current 'Bell Head' so I can probably offer up some thoughts. Telephone lingo varies greatly from one company to the next and from one region to another. In Nebraska an 'A' Box is actually a three position wooden box that's used to sit on while splicing cable. It'smost commonlyknown as a 'butt box' for obvious reasons. You might be thinking of the green or light beige metal box that sits in your back yard or on your property line that houses telephone cable and the small 'drop' wire that runs to your home, business or tower. (Drop comes from the aerial days when the wire 'dropped' from the main cable pole run to the home.) We commonly callthe boxa 'terminal' or 'ped' (short for pedestal). In Nebraska with Qwest Communications we are responsible for the drop wire to the customer premises and the Service Network Interface (SNI) that is on the back of the building. The SNI's purpose is to perform surge suppression and act as a demarcation point where we hand dial tone off to the customer. We still have a few carbons in the field but our policy is to change them out to the new SNI's with gas discharge protection any time we see one. That's at no cost to the customer. And - as many have already said - the gas discharge tube or even newer solid state devices are a great improvement over the old carbons.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TLD5322 Exciter is on all the time, is there another way
Mathew, Your advice is correct; if the exciter is not keyed 100% of the time, there will be a delay on key-up. But, the fact that you can hear the exciter's signal outside of the shack indicates that perhaps: 1. The Unified Chassis does not have all of the filtering components required for a repeater station, or 2. The shield plate for the exciter has not been snapped in place, or 3. The overall shield plate for the exciter shelf has not been installed WITH ALL SCREWS. When all shields are properly installed, the unkeyed MICOR station should not be heard more than a few hundred feet away. When a careless technician leaves off one of the shields, or omits several of the shield screws, excessive radiation is likely to occur. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY n9lv wrote: I have a motorola micor repeater that has the exciter keyed up all the time, the TLD5322.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: TLD5322 Exciter is on all the time, is there another way

We can hear ours maybe 20-30 feet from the rack cabinet, and none of that RF is radiated from the antenna. Like others have suggested, check for missing shields, or maybe some way that the RF is getting to the antenna. See if the signal at a few miles away changes/goes away when the antenna is disconnected. Laryn K8TVZ Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TLD5322 Exciter is on all the time, is there another way
It also makes the transmitter much more stable frequency-wise. In fact, I made that exact mod to a Hamtronics exciter aver 20 years ago. Of course, it needed it much more than a Micor. ;- Joe M.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TLD5322 Exciter is on all the time, is there another way
I should add that my mod was only 'hearable' within about 20-30 feet of the equipment building. If you are hearing yours for miles, you might want to look into it or mod it to switch the last 'always on' stage to key with the amp. Also, check the power output. You should not see any from the amp. Joe M. mch wrote: It also makes the transmitter much more stable frequency-wise. In fact, I made that exact mod to a Hamtronics exciter aver 20 years ago.
